Two 2010 sketches of Styracosaurus. Top is a show-off male embellishing his head spikes with a fallen branch. Bottom is a polycephalic (two-headed) Styracosaurus that has made it to adulthood.
Nearly done with 2008. Last few posts before there is a gear change and a milestone in my career. For today, a stylistic look at the development of Iguanodon, which was created for a Discoverology book.

It's the end of the dry season and the sky carries the upcoming rain on a late afternoon.
The 2008 book, A TIME TRAVELLER'S FIELD NOTES AND OBSERVATIONS OF DINOSAURS; I'm posting more of my illustrations (it is a fictional story, so be prepared for plenty of inaccuracies). Here are the Triassic reptiles that feature in the book.

New #paleoart at #Patreon! Here's an image that I'm sure won't cause any upset at all among tyrannosaur fans: giant azhdarchid pterosaurs drive T. rex away from a juvenile Triceratops carcass. High-res version, WIPs and discussion here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/103222863#sciart#dinosaurs
