Cool, these early sketches are a lot of fun to look at! I like the top view of the coelophysis-like dinos. Must be nice to pop those out in a couple minutes. So many talented people here.

Are those pronated wrists in the last few I see? Pretty nice sketches though. Is the first one an Andean condor or something like that?

No. The Struthiomimus with feathers is turned with its back at a 45 degree angle. The head is twisted around to the side. Or at least its supposed to be lol The bottom (less detailed) one is at a complete lateral view. Yes its an andean condor. |

I love seeing sketches drawn from life (well, sketches of any kind, really)! These are beautiful.

Girraffititan and Pterodactylus Love this one  Hmmm. wonder if there is a small enough pterosaur to use and customize a Girrafititan to look like this ;D |

Great painting! Kind of reminds me of that scene from Jurassic Park. Except without incorrectly placed nostrils. And the bratty kid.

Cool. I like the fleshy nostrils, and the pterosaurs are really nice.

Very cool. I like the detail of the spider I The iguana feel is a nice touch. This ornithopod is interesting enough for being more than just Deinonychus fodder. |

Thanks Arioch. I was tired of seeing it constantly being hunted too. Aaand Dimorphodon.  |

Love both of these -- particularly the Tenontosaurus, of course. |

Chris, this Dimorphodon is awesome! I really like the tailfins you added to the hind legs.

Thanks guys. Yeah dimorphodon had a really long fifth toe and I have seen multiple different ideas for how it was used. I decided to attach them to the wing membranes.
