Hatzegopteryx (Simple Background)

I’ve had this idea for an azhdarchid with a fuffy “hair do” for some time now And just had to draw it. I like to give the long necked Azhdarchid rectangular pupils for some reason I think it looks good on them, and I feel like it would help them keep an eye on predators and pray. Tough if some one thinks this is stupid I can change it.

Hatzegopteryx In The Rain

I’m so proud of this one, I can believe that this came out of my hand!

I’ve had this idea for an azhdarchid with a fuffy “hair do” for some time now And just had to draw it. I couldn’t find any thing about the trees on Hațeg island so these are just random made up araucaria trees. I used Mark Witton’s skeletal reconstruction of Hatzegopteryx to get the proportions kind of right.

Remember the solar/umbral drakes? Well, I needed something to test my tablet with now that I FINALLY have it working, so I took the lineart I photographed on the solar drake and colored it digitally.
This is the first thing I've painted digitally in years. And it was a lot of fun!

For my first act here is a.....
Incoming Citipati
Shes on the prowl for pumpkins to “hatch”.

I’m a way from the tablet so to make my self feel productive I’ve made this little animation with a mouse.

Oviraptorids are becoming my favorite kind of theropod I love they’re doofy faces.

for my next act a ....
Fancy Kelenken

This particular Kelenken comes from an alternate history idea I had a long time ago where humans domesticated terror birds. This guy is a domestic terror bird and that is why he has cape of black iridescent feathers on his back. the idea hasn't gone to far though and this guy is the only character, but I love him and try to squeeze him in to other projects.

Last but not least a ...
Centrosaurus by a River

I gave this guy some wrinkly red skin on his nose and frill, I think it looks good but is probably not that accurate, and the nose horn is that way just cause it looked cool. I don't know why it gave it a main. be sides all my weird speculative stuff I think the anatomy is good. the back ground is a mess though I don't know how to draw plants.

I'm no expert I just like drawing long old dead stuff.
