Looks great! If you're looking for even more pictures to draw from. The new museum sub forum might have some nice photos.

Looks great, might want to show a portion of the tail with its spikes

Great idea! How could I leave out one its coolest features??

I really like the 3D aspect as you look through the rib cage.

Well done.

Thanks, Darren! :)

Thank you fredalexander!!

My question to you: how the heck do you get your dinosaurs in such cool looking poses and so real looking? I don't have much trouble sketching what's right in front of me, but it's tougher to fabricate something and make it realistic.

Beautiful work. You almost make it look simple. I'm envious.

More progress... Decided to make stego a bit more colorful and dynamic!

Not really sure where I'm going with it, but trying to steer away from making it look like a Lisa Frank notebook. :)

The first thought that entered my head was a thermal image photo. Still in shades of green as the beast awakes from a slumber.In readiness for the warming sun.

The only certainty with fossil hunting is the uncertainty.

Can you provide the background for all of my drawings? ...haha I love that description.

that... is a very tough question honestly. poses are often thought up in my head and are constructed using basic shapes. i do admit i do read allot of books relating to birds and other reptiles, most of my drawings and sketches are made without references other then the the specifics animal profile view and some anatomical knowledge on how things work for non-avian theropods.. as for how i usually construct my drawings, i'm pretty sure that calls for a thread of it's own. ;)
