Brett, Vidal’s discovery might be my favorite dino story of the past several years! Kink in the sacral vertebrae, flatter hind feet, more ventral shoulder girdle, giving all sauropods more vertical necks. They make more sense now!

I knew there had to be a reason why did I find the general look of Primal's Sauropods familiar.
From: The Magic School Bus

Of course, this could be just a coincidence, regardless of how familiar those similarities were to my stupid brain.

I mocked up this comp in Maya to get an idea of lighting, and Tim chose the colour warmth he liked. Cooler colours are emphasized in the plants, sky, and parts of the sauropods, while bright warm colouration marks each species as unique and highlights them against the cool

A discussion about tail dragging sauropods reminded me of this painting of "Rutellum" from 2016. Rutellum was a pre-Linnaean dinosaur named after a tooth that is now lost. I basically just drew Cetiosaurus, so when I remake this eventually, I'll make it Cetiosaurus proper.

As pointed out by my friend , sort of looks like the 90s Godzilla, so here it is terrorizing tiny sauropods and making a Cretaceous city look small :B

Wow! New sauropod paper! The full description of appendicular skeleton! by Otero et al. (2020) =)

YEAH!!

Very recognisable sauropods & theropods, especially with their expressive faces and somewhat exaggerated proportions.
Spectacular environments & clouds/skies, you've got a great understanding of composition, light and colour and know exactly where each brush stroke should go.

day 12: today’s is a saltasaur adapted to live like an ankylosaur, even more heavily armored than related sauropods. Pictured here with a very confused abelisaur

Results from the first regular in weeks!
Piscogavialis, Concavenator (an experiment), Volgatitan, Pruemopterus...

One more thing that I literally just noticed. Almost all of DK's sauropods have accurate claw anatomy and count, instead of the elephantine feet you usually see sauropods depicted with. That's some crazy attention to detail.

Allosaurus was a large theropod native to north America during the late Jurassic Era. They would eat anything smaller then em and the only thing they had to fear was bigger theropods. They would hunt in packs to take down larger prey like sauropods and other large herbivores.

It also lived alongside alongside similarly large dinosaurian predators Bahariasaurus and Carcharodontosaurus, the titanosaur sauropods Paralititan and Aegyptosaurus, crocodylomorphs, bony and cartilaginous fish, turtles, lizards, and plesiosaurs. Artwork by Davide Bonadonna.

keeping this inspired thread going, as you can see I like my sauropods served with mostly landscape https://t.co/U9zuTyhgg1

Baryonyx may have lived in a semiaquatic environment with shallow water, lagoons, and marshes. It also lived and coexisted with other theropods, ornithopods, and sauropods, as well as pterosaurs, crocodiles, turtles and fishes. Art by John Sibbick.

If Flippy had existed in the Jurassic era n ate sauropods instead 🤔

Giant azhdarchids were seriously huge - giraffe-sized animals with wingspans comparable to small aircraft. Baby sauropods were pretty small - maybe a metre long, at most?

Eodromaeus is regarded as one of the earliest members of Theropoda, the group that includes the carnivorous dinosaurs, along with Eoraptor likely representing one of the most basal sauropodomorphs, the group that includes sauropods. Art by Todd Marshall.

Guided by Henry's illustrations, the morphology, along with phylogenetic analysis shows that sauropods evolved giant articular cartilage caps good at resisting compression; while theropods expanded the femoral 'head' to deal with compression and shear.

crenatissimus was a Abelisauridae from Madagascar, in life he was 2 meters tall and have 7 meters in length. It was the apex predator of his ecosystem, preying on sauropods like Rapetosaurus.
