“Sauropods have been dealing with their carnivorous cousins from almost the beginning. But there’s never been a theropod quite like Tyrannosaurus rex.”

Day 2:
"In another time, at another place, it's the early jurassic in what is now South Africa. A pair of heterodontosaurs keep close to the shadows of the local giant herbivores. But these are not the early sauropods of our planet."

Dino Fact!

Yunnanosaurus (Yunnan Lizard) is a sauropodomorph from Early-Mid Jurassic China! It was one of the last "prosauropods" to ever live! It's believed to primarily be quadrupedal, but like other prosauropods, could also stand on two legs!

Last time of me posting Francesco before rigging and animating, but apparently he is a favourite of y'alls so far? I don't mind, sauropods are great. And this guy is absolutely MASSIVE. I really can't wait to begin bringing him to life in motion!

I don't know, guys, gals and nonbinary pals. Sauropods are weird as they are, but Giraffatitan (or brachiosaurs in general)? Even weirder. However, I find their slim limbs and long proportions to be en par in gracefulness to Lambeosaurus, Corythosaurus, Parasaurolophus & Co. Yes.

Dino Fact!

Eoraptor (Dawn Thief) is a eusaurischid from Late Triassic Argentina! It was among the first dinosaurs to ever live! Since it resembled both theropods and prosauropods, it was put in Eusaurischia, the group the other two diverged from!

Datousaurus; painted by Kirk. This was one of my favorite Sauropods in the book. The colors stood out so well to me, that they inspired my interpretation of the same animal over two decades later. Mine on the right for comparison; not exact, but very inspired.

Dino Fact!

Fukuititan (Fukui Titan) is a sauropod from Early Cretaceous Japan! It's the first sauropod to be found there! It became smaller than most other sauropods as a result of living on an island, though not to the extent of Magyarosaurus!

This one was a long time in the making, as I wasn’t quite sure what I wanted. Here’s the finished piece along with the dinosaur study and the original sketch. The human figures in the early stages are way out of scale - the final creature has ended up much bigger!

A lot of theropods were fluffy and sauropods were scaly so I guess it makes sense that Palkia would be fluffy and Dialga would be scaly.
