Love your illustrations Sergey. I´ve been watching your work in Da since quite a long time.

You are very talented! Do you do this for a living? This is my hobby. I dream of becoming a professional paleo artist. |

Obviously your work is stunning. Up there with the best Raul Martin and John Sibbick in terms of artistry and ridiculous hyper-realism.
But...a-HEM...well, I think everyone here will know what I'm going to say next...there are a few flaws in your dinosaurs. So to speak. For example, in your gorgeous rendition of two Concavenators, the individual on the right has its arms in a position that it couldn't adopt in life. Theropods were simply incapable of rotating their forearm so that their palms faced downwards.
In the above image the hadrosaurs shouldn't have claws/nails on their hands. Also, their necks could probably do with bulking up (although I'm not familiar with the particular animal shown).
With ceratopsians, only three of the fingers on the hand should have claws (the innermost ones). The outer two should be reduced and clawless (they weren't walked on).
Nitpicking though. Keep up the good work.

I think digits 4 and 5 on ceratopsids were walked on at least sometimes according to tracks.
I think the necks on the lambeosaurs can be considered okay. Its the hadrosaurs like anatotitan and edmontosaurus that would have had shorter thicker necks. The lambeosaurs didnt dont have neural arches on their neck vertebrae that would really be able to support such a thick neck. The super thick necks depicted by Greg Paul, based on the corythosaurus mummy is not really credible. The skin on a mummy post mortem moves around and shifts and thats is what is more likely seen on that specimen.

I think digits 4 and 5 on ceratopsids were walked on at least sometimes according to tracks. It's probably more of a case that they sunk into the ground when the animal was walking on mud or sand. The hallux is sometimes present in theropod tracks, but they weren't walking on it. (Er, unless they were therizinosaurs. Obviously.) I do feel bad about criticising this stuff. I mentioned it on Twitter and someone replied "dear god". ;D But I wouldn't if I didn't think it was world class. Which it is. (Oh, and Griffin's probably right about lamebosaurine necks. Although I never suggested a Greg Paul extreme!) |

It's just amazing how many talented artists have gathered here to share their work and learn from each other. Marc, it seems to me that you are being constructively critical, and gracious about it, so I don't think you should apologize or feel bad about anything. If I had Sergey's talent, I would very much want to hear about how I could make my work better and more accurate.
Sergey, I wasn't aware of your work, but certainly am enjoying it now! Thanks for bringing it to the forum.

Don´t forget about the quills and belly plates on Concavenator. |
