New blog post! Can studies of living animal colour constrain the colours of Stars big theropods, because that's all my life is now. Lots of relevance to of course. https://t.co/S6Ucmsl7id

Sister Earth's giant apex predator abelisaur of Africa. Roughly the size of T. rex, but with a bite outclassing the tyrant lizard.
They, along with three other giant theropods, form a quartet of giant theropods iconic of this timeline.

Disappointing, when one searches for "paleontologist" in stock images, you largely get pictures of men in cowboy hats or colonial pith helmets, searching for theropods, in a desert.

(disclaimer, very small portion of palaeontologists actually do that)

bicentisimus, the forgotten theropod of the Morrison Formation! The Morrison has multiple large theropods, but we also have a more slender, mid-size predator in there that doesn't get a lot of love!

-and elongated metatarsals (middle foot bones), it had long legs that were well-adapted for running! It would've used its speed to hunt small and nimble animals, as well as avoid most of its fellow Morrison Formation theropods, who likely saw it as prey! (2/2)

reconstruction of one of the first large-ish carniovorous dinosaurs! Herrerasaurs sit very near the base of the dinosaur tree, and there has been much debate over whether they're early theropods, basal saurischians, or something else entirely!

Day 6: Bouquet. Protarchaeopteryx, unlike most feathered theropods, actually feasted on plant matter and was at least an omnivore if not a complete herbivore!

I will never stop loving the fact that Speen snoots curved downwards, in a different direction from the back-half of the head. In normie theropods, the snouts simply continue forwards horizontally.

According to a 2020 study on Irritator: "downward angling of approximately 45° of

However, further up the snout, we see something peculiar. Well fit, interlocking teeth as well as a lining of foramina similar to conventional theropods, and reptiles in general. Are there any examples of this that we can see in the modern day? (13/20)

Many theropods, such as Allosaurus here, are in dire need of revamps! One skin also has been converted to a feathered variant, if you want a fuzzy Allosaurus (bottom skin).

At your service, James!
My commissions are open! Though I do a lot of theropods, I can adapt to any species you need. Posing is my strength, I love making my pieces feel alive. I can also do 2D animation in case you need it!

PM me if you are interested! 😁😁

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.
