Fossildude19 Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 A doodle done at work. I was visualizing the quarry as it was in the Upper Mississippian. This is mostly stuff Ive found there. A quick doodle and simple paint with paint.net. Too cool, Jim! I like that one alot!

Sinopaleus Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 i wonder what would happen if i published this... this is a redliichid trilobite tessellation, possibly paradoxidae, or trilos similar to redlichia. worked on this for 7 hours. the photo seems to make the drawing look lighter than usual... btw, it has a screwed up axial lobe the green cheeked trilos are males, the females have red cheeks...

Auspex Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 ...this is a redliichid trilobite tessellation, possibly paradoxidae, or trilos similar to redlichia... Print that vertically in a small pattern on silk, and make neckties out of it! I'd buy one, and I haven't worn a tie in over 12 years.

xonenine Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 very nice Anthony, the large one is crisp too, did you do it in Gimp? "Your serpent of Egypt is bred now of your mud by the operation of your sun; so is your crocodile." Lepidus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darwin Ahoy Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Yea...just freehanded half of it on a sketch pad, scanned it, traced over it in GIMP, cleaned it up, and then flipped it to get the other half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwigia Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Hi. This isn't exactly a sketch, but I thought it might fit in here anyhow. A while back an aquaintance of mine purchased an Ammonite from me and made a gift of it to his wife. As it turns out, she is an artist and she liked it so much that she was inspired to make this painting which she just presented to me today. Needless to say, I was more than pleasantly surprised to recieve such a gift. Roger Greetings from the Lake of Constance.

piranha Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 All of the amazing artists here at TFF deserve another round of applause! :bow: I was glad to see that Roger posted a beautiful ammonite-themed painting given to him as a gift. Years ago I purchased this woodcut print by an obscure artist from the UK. It is pencil signed and entitled "Fossil World" and hangs proudly over the bookshelves in the library section of the fossil room. At least I can finally contribute to this thread even if it was store bought. Haha..... if you gave me a paint by numbers coloring book I would still mess it up!

Tyrannoraptor Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 (edited) I've only recently started drawing. I didn't draw much ever since I was a Kid, so I had no idea I could draw anything more than just crude pictures, until I started drawing dino head reconstructions. Here are the 3 pencil drawings of the sort that I did so far: - Carcharodontosaurus head, my first drawing of the sort. It looks pretty amateur-ish, almost childish now, but it was a start. - Allosaurus head. The improvement is quite easy to notice - Tyrannosaurus rex skull. I took a photo of Samson's skull as the base for my drawing, but it's not meant to be a drawing of this very specimen, it's meant to be a somewhat general reconstruction, so I took a few liberties with it. Now I'm using it as the base for my in-flesh reconstruction I hope you like the drawings, I'm only a beginner... edit: I re-uploaded the pics, I added my signature to them, which I forgot beforehand. You can use them if you like, just ask me first Edited July 28, 2012 by Tyrannoraptor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missourian Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 (edited) I figure this belongs here: One day, years ago, I got tired of my crinoid references being scattered all over heck, so I drew them on a sheet of paper with a felt-tipped pen in one sitting. It's a miracle I didn't mess up and have to get the white-out.... Later I scanned the images and rearranged and cleaned up the individual crinoid drawings and digitally added the names.
