njcreekhunter Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Hey everyone, Here is an illustration of an Allosaurus I just finished. I used ink on Bristol board. I plan on doing many more illustrations of other prehistoric animals similar to this and I'll be sure to post those on here too. My two passions are paleontology and art and I strive to learn as much as I can about both. If you want to see some of my other work in the meantime you can visit my website www.mikeosheaart.com. Thanks for looking! -Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macrophyseter Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Beautiful drawing, the reflective eyes make the allosaurus look almost cute Good job!

Ludwigia Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Very nice! Did you research the form of the plants on the ground, or is that of your own invention? Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njcreekhunter Posted September 15, 2017 Author Share Posted September 15, 2017 @Ludwigia Thanks! For the plants I based them off of what I've seen in documentaries and I looked at what other artists have done and then I took my own liberties with them.
