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.

Donc sans ces sacs aeriens, pas de sauropode geant, et pas d'oiseau! Je sais pas vous, mais je trouve ça hyper cool! Et le plus cool, c'est que vous aussi vous avez des os pneumatisés! Pas autant que les dinos, mais quand même: ils sont dans votre tête et on appelle ça des sinus!

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

Look what we have! The next four Paleontology Fancier shirts are back in stock. Choose from teams theropod, sauropod, hadrosaur and stegosaur. What team are you on?

Behemolux:

Description: This creature is a voracious omnivore. It holds bioluminescent bacteria within special vein-like growths. Researchers find this sauropod to be temperamental and territorial. It will try to consume anything that strays too close.

I always thought these by Ely Kish were MEANT to depict ill or starving dinos, especially the 2nd pic - I guess they reminded me of the ones in Fantasia trooping across the desert? And the sauropod's pose looks ill and droopy.

Results from the first regular in weeks!

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.

yimenensis: un dinosaurio sauropodomorfo de principios del Jurásico (hace unos 200 Maños). Los restos de este dinosaurio, descubiertos en el sur de China, consisten sobre todo en fragmentos de la parte delantera del animal (📷Lugar donde se hallaron los fósiles)

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

This is a rough design for a poster of a Dinosaur movie that I would like to propose to Disney, called "Sauropod".

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.

The idea of a mobile fortress on the back of a giant sauropod is also just badass.

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?

AZHDARCHID EATS SMALL SAUROPOD became a meme thanks to our 2008 paper, but - as with all memes - its popularity was accidental. In the Before Times (2005 - 2007) I was drawing azhdarchids eating all sorts of stuff: fish, crocs, baby tyrannosaurs etc. (See archaic art below) https://t.co/ZACkIzKjsn

For prompt 32, “Tail”, I did a species of Sauropod called Shunosaurus, a medium-sized mid Jurassic sauropod from what is now China that possesses a club tail, similar to Ankylosaurus.
