Diplotomodon Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 Must steal back the spotlight Anyways this piece is done in an unusual medium...scratch art. It's based off of Luis Rey's illustration of a Sinornithosaurus standing over a dead Confuciusornis. I did not trace this...done entirely freehand. I also did the border of vines, complete with exotic flowers, insects, and even an Epidendrosaurus (or Scansoriopteryx, depending on whom you believe), which you can see on the bottom right (click the pic to enlarge). I consider this to be one of my best pieces. What a wonderful menagerie! Who would believe that such as register lay buried in the strata? To open the leaves, to unroll the papyrus, has been an intensely interesting though difficult work, having all the excitement and marvelous development of a romance. And yet the volume is only partly read. Many a new page I fancy will yet be opened. -- Edward Hitchcock, 1858 Formerly known on the forum as Crimsonraptor @Diplotomodon on Twitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diplotomodon Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 I present to you all my new work... You are the first to see this masterpiece... Voila. I expect the publishing in July. What a wonderful menagerie! Who would believe that such as register lay buried in the strata? To open the leaves, to unroll the papyrus, has been an intensely interesting though difficult work, having all the excitement and marvelous development of a romance. And yet the volume is only partly read.
