Dave Hone's trying something new. Crowdfunding a new research project. Do check it out! And if you like this image, the original is available for purchase, all money will go towards Dave's research! How can you not want to fund this?!?!  GO! FUND! Or buy this and that money will go to Dave. Come on, fricken dinosaurs, Shanna and Kazar!!!

How about a little terror bird action?

Wa watching NatGeo the other day, they had a special on terror birds. I had also seen Jonah Hex the day before (very bad, avoid!) And idea popped into my head. Yes the bird is more vertical, the extra weight of the rider, I saw something similar in some ostrich racing clips. These guys are difficult, they are so fragmentary and some appear to have longer legs, others more stubby.

Anyways, a bit of fun! enjoy!

Dryptosaurus!

I came across this Kickstarter the other day; Digital Dinosaur Dryptosaurus. And after adding som dough to the effort I decided to do a drawing of my own!

More Dinosaurs in comics!

Seems like dinosaurs are getting a second (or would this be forth or fifth?) life in comics these days. I am trying to draw some of the more obscure ones;) He's only on a few pages but at least it's not a T. rex!

This is page one of Teen Titans 10 on sale next month!

Ichthyovenator!

Another new spinosaur! These things are popping up like daisies! This one found in Laos, no skull but a partial back complete with strange sail!

Best!

GODZILLA!

Or at least inspired by Godzilla. Every Friday they have TGIF (Thank Godzilla it's Friday!) on one of the cheap pay channels. So I've been watching and hoping they revive my childhood hero so I drew up a quicky idea. I loved the American monster (movie was bad, but monster was cool) but I think it was too slender.

It HAS to have the radioactive fire breath!

Yutyrannus!

So FINALLY a large theropod from China’s Liaoning Province, with feathers! I'm still geeking about it so I had to draw one up! For more info head on over to Archosaur Musings! So cool!

Velociraptor scavenging an azhdarchid pterosaur

An image I did for David Hone. I'll just send you there for all the actual info:) Big thanks to my wife Jess for actually coloring this! Far better than I could have done!

And Spartan. I'm not sure when the Canadian Primeval will be out. They are supposed to start shooting during the winter months of 2012... so that might be now, or it might be 9 months from now.

G.I. Combat #1 cover

I've been allowed to do some cover for DC comics G.I. Combat! Here's the #1 cover (I do now know the necks on the pterosaurs can't bend like that, but it's a bit late to change them.) And yes, the archosaurs are WAY to big, but I had to compromise a bit, it is a comic book and I'm not writing it. I'm trying to get some other types of dinosaurs in but its tough, they think people expect the standards. I did get a Torvosaurus on the cover to 1 though;)

This is from my pencils and Andrew Dalhouse did a fantastic job on the colors!

More soon! Two dinosaur covers to draw next week!

Torvosaurus

A quickie Torvosaurus. Felt bad that I haven't done anything new that I can post in a bit.

A dinobot!

Not really, but a robotic 'raptor' for Teen Titans #6. The plot said raptor so I did raptor;)

Unfinished Spinosaur

This was deemed wrong so it never got finished. But I do still like it, maybe I'll mess with it and finish it up.

Oxalaia

I had a bit of free time last night so I did a quick sketch of the new spinosaur
Oxalaia, he's swimmin'!

New colored version of Dryptosaurus

Sorry for the giant gap in posts, been swamped at the regular job. So for now here's a new colored version of Dryptosaurus, hopefully I'll be able to get to that new Spinosaur and Tyrannosaur next week! Colors on this one were fixed by the wife;)

A few sketches

One of my favorites, Carcharadontosaurus! I've been so busy lately I haven't had much time to just draw some dinosaurs, and the ones I have drawn are, well not ment to be seen yet. Just a rough sketch, need to move the legs forward a tad.

Rugops, legs are a bit long, but easily fixed and I think move the arms forward a tad, I have another more recent layout I might go with instead.

I might get a the chance to draw some dinosaurs in some comics again, stay tuned for that:)

Oh, belated Happy Christmas and Seasons Greetings. I drew a whole Christmas comic this year so I'm sort of Christmased out. We sat home and watched Doctor Who all day:)

Best!

Partial Spinosaurus

Something I'm working on. Been awhile since I uploaded anything new.

One Pink Dinosaur..

I just finished this thing off. Check out the last post for the specifics. My 'theory' for the color is based off of the flamingo and golden hammerhead, the prey (shrimp and fish,) eat a food item that causes their colors to change. The predator eats the fish or shrimp and they also change color. Same thing here, only replace fish with ostrich mimic;) It might not be perfect, but I at least thought about it;)

I recieved my copy of Gregory S. Paul's new book, haven't read it but flipped through it. Is is just me or do the new restorations look... stunted? The legs appear too short for several of the theropods and the heads look really big... I've seen lots of different restorations of these animals and they don't look like that. Strange. All the 'lumping' seems a bit extensive, and I'm still not seeing Jane as a juvenile T. rex. There is a juvenile Tarbosaurus that looks nothing like her... And the reason GSP gives? We haven't found any adults of  Jane the Nanotyrannus so she must be a juvenile T. rex. Even I can see through that, we have a whopping 2 skeletons and one's just a head! I'm a bit disappointed, I was hoping for another PDW but this seems more of like an overview. And why are there so many Giraffatitan skeletons and a dirth of Titanosaurs...? I'll have to see if I change my mind upon actually reading it;)

Feathered Dryptosaurus for Charity!

Over on Art Evolved, they are having an art contest for charity, for info go here! The idea is to draw a pink dinosaur and then send it over to them. They will then put in $2 for cancer research. So I did this up. I haven't had a chance to color it yet, hopefully later today, so if you feel the need to draw some dinosaurs pick up a pencil and lend a hand!
