Pachyrhinosaurus lakustai

This is a collaboration with ~RobbieSKatz; the original drawing can be seen at his gallery. Credit goes to him for the idea, the pose and the choice of colors and pattern (that ended up being slightly modified).
This was done as a contribution to The Paleo Handbook, a very cool project for a prehistoric field guide. If you are interested in extinct critters, go check it out!

This thing here is probably one of the most detailed painting I've ever done, especially because for the first time I actually drew most of the scales individually as opposed to using noisy brushes to get a rough texture. Some areas, like the legs and feet, are a bit sloppier because at one time I was just so tired I kinda gave up on retouching. But I'm very proud of the head. I guess I have to thank Robbie for making me do this, it was a nice challenge.

Now excuse me while I go to sleep in a corner after that hard work. zzz
