I love that picture of the triceratops. And Itzpapoltl? Yay for South American mythology. (Had to go look her up, but it's soooo nice to see non-Greek/Roman/European-in-general mythos). The way the sauropod is looming over the theropod is almost like he's lecturing the little guy. It's so cute.
Don't normally draw the popular dinosaurs, if only because I like working with others that don't get a lot of attention. But this one begged to be drawn.
Itzpapoltl is Mesoamerican though, but I completely agree with you. There's too much of a Greek/Roman/Norse focus out there. And that reminds me, forgot to put my myth tag up. (I've got lots of non-European focused stuff) Also, you had to look her up? Did the link I put up not work? *is now paranoid about LJ*
It does look like it's lecturing the theropod doesn't it. When I work on it again I'll have to make sure that the friendly debate/arguing I was going for comes off more clearly. Or at least make the smile easier to see.
I like seeing attention paid to the unknown and rarely seen things. Mythology, Paleontology, Zoology. (I was ecstatic when I first found an artist handling aye-ayes).
The link might have been there and I could have totally missed it. definitely see it now! it would so be a me thing to do. I'm gonna go search your tag now, cause I luz the mythologies. (Even though I'm hardly an expert in them)
I thought it worked between the theropod and camarasaurus. Though I a curious about what theropod you had in mind....
An artist actually got to handle some aye-ayes? *is jealous* Those things are awesome. But yeah, it's sort of my standing policy to give attention to things that don't get a whole lot of love. ...and I now have the urge to draw an aye-aye and an Epidendrosaurus meeting each other.
Ah okay, was a bit concerned seeing as LJ is giving me problems now in posting. Somewhere way back when, I posted a list of mythological critters that I planned on drawing. It's nowhere near finished, at all, but I'm thinking of polishing it off to get back in the swing of things.
It was going to be a dromeosaur of some kind, but I just might make it a Herrerasaurus instead. They're another one of my favorites. (And yet, over two decades of dinosaur love has not been able to whittle down all the species into a favorite favorite of mine. They're all too awesome for me to pick just one.)
