New dinosaur goodness!
Done for a friend of mine, a promo piece for an upcoming project. Can't say what for yet. I'll leave you to guess at the dinosaurs, although most are fairly obvious.
Do you mean younger, as in geological age or age of discovery?
It looks comparatively smallish, judging from the hat, if it is to scale but looks too robust for Australovenator. There are no megalosaurs, unless that's one keeping an eye on Tyrannosaurus's meal and not another rex.
I know it's not important but, just for fun; I'll go Orkoraptor, Camarasaurus, Dilophosaurus, Tyrannosaurus, Quetzalcoatlus (eating a young theropod), Torvosaurus and Parasaurolophus. Oh, and Pteranodon and some other pterosaurs, in the air.
Oh, I see something popping up there that I thought was just a bush that must be Styracosaurus. Oh - I give up on the Neovenatorid (I assume) on risk of just bringing up names till I can't possibly be wrong. I know there are at least two or three others waiting to be published, I just wish they'd hurry up.
Do you have some sort of knowledge about Chilantaisaurus that I don't? They just have some bones from the front limbs. How can you tell how robust it was from just that? I have a hard time telling exactly how robust the animal is in the picture due to not being able to see most of it and the perspective. Care to go into more depth as to why you think it's too robust?
It seems a megaraptoran...
ReplyDeleteLove the composition of this piece. Great work as usual Brett.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely in the right group Andrea! Just a tad younger. Once I can say what it is the decision will be obvious I think.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mark!
Best,
Brett
Beautiful image, the back ground is really engaging and the poses are really fearsom.

Thanks Marco!
ReplyDeleteHi Paul,
Perhaps earlier would have been a better choice, like early Cretaceous. Pretty good guesses, but I think you missed a Styracosaurus.
It's a hodge podge of time periods for a reason:)
Best,
Brett

LOL! Paul, you basically just named it! Neovenator. I chose it a specific reason, which I should be able to mention soon.
ReplyDeleteBest,

The megaraptoran looks like Chilantaisaurus, due to its robustness.
