I don't like to see such mistreatment of bulls either. But your desire to see humans being horribly killed is also a little disturbing  |

Blade got it right. I personally have a deep dislike for bull running, bull fighting and wathever other practices involving bulls being bullied or forced to do that kind of stuff. So whenever I see in TV how things gone bad for the humans, a wicked and satisfied grin appears in my face.  Now imagine how bad could things gone for the humans if those running barely half ton bulls "magically" transform in an angry herd of 8 Ton triceratops. ;D I´ve been fantasizing with this since I was a kid. Revenge of the nature! Yay I was thinking of the San Fermin festival, which has worldwide renown and a significative participation of tourists and people around the world (not only the spanish locals) Couple of pics for inspiration and show you the tipical runner outfit (though they´re not usually very homogenous) funster.us/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/san-fermin.jpgwww.blogseitb.com/pamplona/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/encierro1.jpgAnd another piece with a different dinosaur, but same situation: durbed.deviantart.com/favourites/#/d3j1yw2 So, if you accept to do this, gory wouldn´t be exactly necessary but it would help if a couple of humans get stomped (for example, crushed under ceratopsians feet. Maybe someone getting impaled too but that´s really up to you.) It should have the impression that humans have very very low possibilities to walk away unscathed or even survive. And still with a humorous feel more than sinister, like, well your previous pieces. So, what do you say? Why not a "Running with the Rhinos"? Maybe if we find a domestic use for them, they won't be driven to extinction...and at least they are actually alive right now. Hippos could work too. |

Well, sometimes shock therapy is needed to cure some illness ;D. Unfortunately doesnt seem like this kind of "festivals" are going to be forbidden anytime soon, so we can only hope that people eventually learns that these are sentient animals and not toys. Even with said shock therapies. Hell, they started it! This is something that I´ve been thking of drawing myself, but sadly I have quite a poor human anatomy knowledge. But in the hands of someone like Himmapan it could turn in an epic piece!  (if he refuse I would understand it though) sbell, it seems interesting to use other animals but then it would lose the symbolism of bull like animals taking their revenge. Other option could be using Nasutuceratops instead of trikes, since its horns are actually arranged like those of modern bulls. |

Domesticating rhinos and hippos?  No but seriously, they are very dangerous animals that must be respected. If they could be domesticated, don't you think it would have been done already? But such a piece by Niroot would be pretty awesome. Of course, the impending gore would only be implied. Perhaps several ceratiosians in a pen or something that is breaking? |

I think it would be fine showing people running, scrambling to escape, even ones just about to get the " point " if you will..lol I'm not so skilled at drawing people myself..unless you want anime styled ones.. lol |

Hmm... This begins to sound increasingly tempting. Not that I relish seeing humans suffering either, but... The real snag (and it's a pretty stupid one) is that I have difficulty drawing modern people.  It's bizarre, I just come up against this barrier that makes me strain to depict people once we get past the early twentieth century -- unless I heavily stylise them. I don't know how to explain it. It isn't always just about the clothes (although that counts too). But, without promising yet, I think perhaps I should like to give this idea a try. ;D It's going to be a while though. I'm afraid I am just becoming busy with real work again. |

Heavily stylized you say? Easy, just set your drawing in the 90's! ;D

Hooray! ;D Looking forward to see your approach on this.
About the cloth issue, keep in mind that the San fermin runners outfit is very simple, similar to the kids of your Tyrannosaurus loving piece: a simple shirt and pants with a red scarf. Dressing them with victorian clothes would be a funny addition though (and hey, the bull running tradition started at least in the XVII century, so that wouldn´t that unrealistic...)

... Or myself, indeed, instead of a real person.  Better yet, why not I draw you, Mr Stoneage? ;D I beg your pardon a thousand times for such an impertinent suggestion. ;D Arioch, Victorians hadn't occurred to me for that actually; but if you allow me to set it in the XVIIth century, on the other hand... ;D |

I believe you've seen my picture. Just be kind. ;D |

But of course. I am always kind. ;D Perhaps I will include you in a drawing one day.  But not in this one. I don't think any of us could ever be counted among the people who deserve to be gored by rampaging ceratopsians. |

Perhaps not....but perhaps they could be mounts ? Something in the vein of save-the-earth radicalists..who have just freed them prematurely ? ;D

I'm having internet problems. Again.  I'm borrowing my sister's old and occasionally temperamental laptop to quickly post these. Two more head studies.    See the full page here. Roughs for Scott Person's request.  I'm working on the third image for my submission. I only have one day left and a sporadic internet connection. Wish me luck, please. -_- Oh, and whilst I'm here and we have a hadrosaur, here is another whose ghost you can faintly see beneath the page above, since I have Angie's approval that I might 'show it off'.  |

The Tarbos are getting better and better! be careful you dont make those eyebrows too JP like though...anyway, neat drawings. See how cool can tyrannosaurs look with feathers a big jowls, people? better than the "naked" ones. I like the race sketches. The sort of joy/exhausted expression in the Oloro and the frustration in the Tarbo are quite epic. ;D And nice saurolophus too! |

Bwahaha! I love the feather-fur and the 'race' is simply fantastic. Poor Tarbo just can't keep up with the Oloro. Teehee, kinda reminds me of the 'Tortoise and the Hare' tale except... well, dinosaurs.
More please!

What do you call the last one, Dancing with the Hadrosaurs?! If I can refer you to the link in my last post, John, where I mentioned Angie's approval. You'll see the context for the Saurolophus in her thread. Of course, this now means I'm never going to stop pointing out to everyone who buys the Saurolophus model (if and when it comes into being) that Angie actually accepted my suggestion. ;D Oh, and I also want to thank Melissa (rather belatedly) for her kind comment about my drawing. I didn't reply back then as I didn't want to encroach further on Angie's thread. But thank you! The comment about it reminding you of a Leonardo drawing totally made my day. By the by, folks, hadrosaurs do have claws on their hands!  Observe those unguals! |

Still no consensus on the orientation of the hands of hadrosaurs though I suppose ?
