Thank you! Usually the older bigger animals are beat up and scarred. I prefer them too, they always have lots of character. ~Charlie~ "There are those that look at things the way they are, and ask why.....i dream of things that never were, and ask why not?" ~RFK ->Get your Mosasaur print ->How to spot a fake Trilobite ->How to identify a CONCRETION from a DINOSAUR EGG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor Mud Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Thank you sir! It would be a neat picture. But the problem of drawing such creatures like scaled up versions of modern day creatures is incorporating size into the drawing. Unless there is a 5'10" human standing next to it, the massive proportions get lost in translation. So most viewers would see this as a drawing of a modern day Eagle attacking a weird chicken. Does that make any sense? Hahaha I hear you and had thought that might be the case that it would be difficult to give the impression of size unless something like a person could be included. If it was any help, Haasts Eagle is thought by some to be the Pouakai of Maori legend which did attack people! Here's a link to a newspaper article about a journal article on the subject - even talks about colour patterning. I'm off to look for the journal article now. http://www.independent.ie/world-news/asia-pacific/maori-legend-of-maneating-bird-is-true-26566198.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stocksdale Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 (edited) Can we have a post-storm Mazon creek scene with debris of alethopteris and macroneuropteris branches floating out into a shallow sea. Some jellyfish and tullies moving below the debris and an arthopleura scampering over a fallen lepidodendron branch chewing on a bit of Lepidostrobus. And throw a shrimp in there somewhere, going after some cyclus. Oh, and don't forget.... a baby Mazon Creek shark emerging from its egg case. :) Edited February 18, 2015 by Stocksdale Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.–Carl Sagan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fossilized6s Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 Haha, you forgot the kitchen sink! I see that happening in my retirement or if someone really wants to pay for it. Or if i win the lottery! I work a full time job, do side work, im starting my own company, have a 16month old and have many hobbies that are very time consuming.... if i get spread anymore thin i would be butter. That's why i enjoy the art of the quick lunch break sketch. ~Charlie~ "There are those that look at things the way they are, and ask why.....i dream of things that never were, and ask why not?" ~RFK ->Get your Mosasaur print ->How to spot a fake Trilobite ->How to identify a CONCRETION from a DINOSAUR EGG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fossilized6s Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 I like your idea of sketching a baby shark hatching from an egg case.

You just missed the auction for this bad boy. I just went to Daves Rock shop in Evanston while on my way to the Field museum. What an awesome shop!!! But i guess they're moving to a bigger place and they may let me sell some artwork from there. I still have to speak with the owner though. Fingers crossed. ~Charlie~ "There are those that look at things the way they are, and ask why.....i dream of things that never were, and ask why not?" ~RFK ->Get your Mosasaur print ->How to spot a fake Trilobite ->How to identify a CONCRETION from a DINOSAUR EGG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
