Cannibalism in giant tyrannosaurs?!?

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!

Suchomimus wading

I actually rediscovered the layout yesterday evening and figured I'd just finish it.;)

Hatzegopteryx

These were just crazy big animals. About the size of a giraffe, shortish wings and just really long necks!

Boreopterus!

Lacusovagus colony and a Shenzoupterus in flight!

 Finished and 'approved' by David Hone over at Archosaur Musings! Lacusovagus, nesting, breeding and digging a nest! I think I missed the egg laying though...

Shenzoupterus flying. HUGE, GIANT heads in this group!

Enjoy! More soon!

Lacusovagus work in progress

There's a big crazyness going on on the interwebs about pterosaurs (go here for some excellent info.)

So in order to fight the bad science I'm guessing pterosaurs are going to get more popular with paleoartists. Unfortunately I'm by no means an expert on these guys so I'm getting a bit of coaching (I'll refrain from using his name and maybe ruining his reputation;)), which is why this isn't finished but since I went to the trouble od scanning I figured I'd post it anyways:)

Enjoy! And if YOU are a pterosaur expert and I did mess up let me know!

Come see the new dinosaur exhibit in El Paso, TX!

And yes I will be there with some dinosaur art as well. Insights is officially opening their new dinosaur exhibit (which I had the chance to visit a few weeks ago.) I'll be doing a few new illustrations for this so if you're interested, and live in the area, come on by for a visit:)

I'm still torn as to what a paleoartist is and am I really one... but it was so very nice of them to ask me to participate, I just wanted to donate some images to help the museum out:)

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!

Brett

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!

More dinosaurs in comics!

I forgot to post this! My pencils for the cover of Teen Titans 10 (which I'm working on right now!)  Dinosaurs are peppered all through the issue so it should be fun:)

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.

Unused cover for G.I. Combat 2

My last cover for G.I. Combat. Rather than bitch and moan about this I'll just say creative differences and move on. Oh, and I hate tanks!

Best,

Brett

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!

Best,

Brett

Torvosaurus

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

Best!

Brett

A dinobot!

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