Your art is amazing! How big is the original of the Para? How much does it cost to buy your art? You should definitely sell your masterpieces.

I'll say again what I said on Facebook: this is wonderful. You know, you're getting far too predictable in being always excellent. Produce something bad already!

You always seem to strike a good balance in not making the animals too fat, but not making them look like supermodels either. Too often have I seen Parasaurolophus with a sad-looking, skeletal face...

Thank you so much, everyone.

The original is quite small: 21 x 13cm. I took a picture with a penny again. I urge you to see the larger version if you'd like to see the finer details.

You can also buy a print of it if you like directly from dA. If you visit its page, there is a 'buy this print' button on the top right.

I must have missed your comment, but thank you, Chris! I don't think you do skeletal faces either!

If someone buys a print, do you get paid?

I get a tiny percentage. I'm afraid I don't remember the exact figure and can't seem to find it on dA. But it's not much. The prints will have to be bought in huge numbers for the profits to be at all noticeable. So far, not many have sold.

I think I once used the example that the profits from the sale of a dozen 5 x 7" prints won't yet be enough to get me a dinosaur figure.

Perhaps a number of you can buy the holiday hadrosaur as sets of greetings cards in readiness for next year.

You can get a set of 25 cards for $29.99.

Oh, how stunningly beautiful! Thank you, thank you, Niroot, for taking the time and creating this gorgeous work of art for us!

One of these days, this struggling musician would also love to own one of your masterpieces. 8-)

We posted at the same time! Thank you so much, Chuck and Dyscrasia. It's not too late, I think, it's still the Christmas season even if the day itself has passed!
