These days we are beginning to muse about an own #SpreamCon, try to help young artists and are still building on our international community. It's far from perfect but I'm happy for everyone who joined me and stayed along for the ride!
Here the first and latest sketch.
Last but not least, you have already seen it: Triceratops. A certainly fascinating animal, even after all these years. Here I based it on Yoshi's Trike, a specimen with particular long horns. I could have made them even longer.
Kulindadromeus is everything the proponents of the idea that filamentous structures where common in dinosaurs ever hoped for. Not only that, it brought some interesting structures on it's own to the table!
Back to armored creatures! Scelidosaurus has become much better understood thanks to recent publications. It's impressive armor is complimented by a pair of goat horns on it's skull. What's not to like here?
Everyone will complain: But where is Brachiosaurus? And I'm telling you: 90% of you wouldn't even notice if I relabeled this animal! So shush, the Tendaguru fauna needs some more love!
Silesaurus might be an odd choice. Silesaurids are not universally accepted as dinosaurs but I'm taking a risk here and will include it anyway. A beaked, reptilian horse from the Triassic is a wonderfully bizarre thing to behold.
Sinosauropteryx is our first compsognathid and probably best known for being the first non-avian dinosaur described with feathers. It's a quite cute, slender creature that is so well known that even the stripy pattern in it's plumage is preserved.
Sinoceratops is another dinosaur done dirty by JW, the actual animal is quite fascinating as it is the currently only derived ceratopsid outside of North America and has some unique nasal bosses and frill ornaments.
Herrerasaurus might be one of the first experiments with large predators among dinosaurs. It's iconic, rectangular skull is easy to recognize and with it's weird hands and stocky build it's certainly among the more interesting Triassic dinosaurs.
Tenontosaurus is more than just Deinonychus fodder, the long tail, the very wide cheeks and some interesting details on the forelimbs make it worthy of a place in these ranks.
