bone digger Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 (edited) Well I'm almost finished my first paleo related painting, just a few touch ups and I'll call it good. It is a skull of a Gorgosaurus libratus from Alberta. The canvas is 24" x 30", medium is acrylic on the background and oil for the skull. Hope you like it as much as I enjoyed painting it.

JohnJ Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Bone digger, it's reminiscent of the style of early paleo illustrations...the good ones. The human mind has the ability to believe anything is true. - JJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJB Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Hey Bonedigger... looks to me like that one tooth needs a little touchup of raw sienna. Better get on that and get it fixed. :lol: RB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dinodigger Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 This looks great! If you haven't submitted your drawings to Paleo publications you definitely should. There is a lack of good anatomical drawings out there. I put up a Gorgo here in Houston; what a cool critter. The tyrannosaurs were such awesome animals. The one we put up had some interesting pathologies like two broken legs, a broken shoulder, and a broken neck. And he survived all that and lived a long life. You should check him out and so some full body drawings. Chris Flis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tracer Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 don't shake it while you're framing or hanging it cuz you don't want the teeth to tear the canvas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicholas Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 That is a beautiful piece. You should get it digitized and made into prints, I'm sure one of the many print selling companies would buy that beauty to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bone digger Posted January 24, 2010 Author Share Posted January 24, 2010 Thanks again for all the great comments! Here is a picture of it framed on the wall.

bigade Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 Hi Bone digger, that's one hell of a painting, wow. I've just started getting back into drawing after a good few years. I used to be a tattoo artist for over 20 years but I could never do a painting like that. I'm just amazed. all the best Ade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
