Really nice. I like the T. rex.
If I were to be nitpicky...there are a few things wrong with the Triceratops. It's missing a toe on the feet (there should be a fourth, reduced toe, although it's actually the first (inside) toe), and the hands are also missing a digit each. Regarding the hands, Triceratops retained a relatively primitive hand, with the palms turned strongly inwards and five digits (only three of which had claws and were walked on; the other two were reduced and basically vestigial). It looks like you based it on a photo of an old skeletal mount, though.
With the Ankylosaurus, the armour is just a little out of date.
Still, like you said, you produced this a while back, and overall I really like the visual style. Looking forward to seeing more.
EDIT: Aha, you posted more! Really like that Styracosaurus. I'm also really enjoying the bright colours as it happens.
EDIT 2: Reading that back, I said 'really' a lot.

Bad pics sorry, on the iPod. I'm looking into a new camera right now. Here are some pics from the trading card sets I have from Diamondback. Top notch quality, I hope to see it again in the future. I have their complete Reptiles, Reptiles 2, Amphibians, Invertebrates, and promo, signed, and special foil cards. There was going to be my dinosaur set, Jackson Shedd shark set, a future dinosaur 2 and prehistroic marine life, and another amphibian set.

Hey Horridus. ;D Yeah I haven't looked at the art for a while and there are problems I see with just about every one of them. I had used old skeletons for some of the reference as this is what the client liked. Ugh now I'm really bugged by them now..

Gorgeous! I hope these do eventually get produced, it would be such a shame for them not to.

I love the detailing and color work on just about all of them...I also like how a few of them have the leg lifted like they are coming out of the cards..;D

Nice stuff. I like the texture of their skins a lot. Hope these get turned into cards.

Thanks for the compliments and comments. I do hope that there is a card set in the future. Of course now I feel like redoing the whole bunch.

Nah I wouldn't feel bad about it. Its all a part of paleoart. Just when you got it perfectly accurate some new discovery sets you back again. Doesn't chance the fact that its nice art thats accurate for when it was made.

Those are really nice! I specially like the kentrosaurus, very creative marking and scheme. You do all this scales on freehand or using some photohosp brush or texture? if its the first...wow. (IsnĀ“t that Ceratosaurus slightly inspired by the Papo Allosaurus?

Copper - Unfortunately the Diamondback site is down at the moment. I'll contact the owner and see if he still has sets. Arioch - Actually I do draw out the scales. I seem to enjoy tedious and detail. LOL I really wasn't trying to copy the Papo allosaurus, but I can see the similarity. If anyone is interested in Diamondback card sets, let me know. I'll contact the owner about availability. Edit- The sets that were made: Reptiles, Amphibians, Invertebrates, Special Edition Ball Pythons, Special Edition Horned Lizards, Promo Dinosaur, Promo Sharks, Foil Kingsnakes, Foil Tarantulas

Do they sell the reptile cards at reptile shows? I feel like I've seen them there before.

Very nice. The Kentro and the Pachyrhino are the best for me. Hopefully we can buy them some day.
