IF: Book

Nothing too clever here just a rather wobbly stack of books :)

IF: Tall

Well after another long break form illustration Friday Seeing the topic I thought I’d get back into it with this image I’ve just completed as it seemed appropriate.

Yes back to the dinosaurs.

This is a Jobaria a sauropod dinosaur discovered in the Sahara Desert in 1997. It is thought to have been about 18 metres long. Not the largest of the sauropods but still pretty tall:)

Torvosaurus

Here’s my latest Dinosaur image. This is a Torvosaurus on the prowl with a group of Ornitholestes in the foreground.

The Torvosaurus tanneri was a large theropod dinosaur that lived during the late Jurassic period, about 145 million years ago, in North America and Portugal.

It lived alongside the more famous Allosaurus which it equalled and even exceeded in size at up to 11 meters (36ft) in length.

It was related to the earlier Megalosaurus but was more advanced.

The Ornitholestes was a small theropod of the same period and location. It was about 2 meters (6.5 feet) long.

IF: Grounded

I saw a program a while ago part of which featured an inland sea (can't remember where it was) that had dried up leaving behind the boats and ships stranded in the desert. It was all very surreal. This also gave me an excuse to illustrate one of my favorite things,old abandoned and rusty stuff.
