To celebrate the announcement of my #specevo #dinosaur book this #FossilFriday, here's my giant Olymposaurus, a modern-day abelisaur. The proportions were predicted using real abelisaur scaling regimes: that short, upturned face, enormous thigh etc. are expected features of a 13 m abelisaur. #sciart

A Lost World adaptation where every single creature has to be an animal actually native to Brazil.
So the "Allosaurus" is an abelisaur, the "Brontosaurus" is a titanosaur, the pterodactyl is a tapejarid, and most importantly, the "ape-men" convergently evolved from New World monkeys.

I've been both incredibly ill and incredibly busy this month, so have barely had any time to do non-work art! Hopefully I'll be able to get back to it soon - in the mean time, here's an abelisaur bust I sculpted last month that I haven't gotten around to painting yet.

Can’t forget about the V. Rex. I made my version a abelisaur rather than a tyrannosaur.

Second to last batch of creatures. The small abelisaur Guemesia, Bonatitan, the bird Lamarqueavis, and Menucocelsior

I definitely have to draw the other pterosaurs airborne though - would hugely help with the composition!

Day 6. Rugops carnegiea
This abelisaur has adapted well to life in the desert. Its body can store massive quantities of rainwater, allowing it to survive (and hunt) even during times of drought.

And with that, the size chart enters a new frontier! It will likely keep stretching out to the sides, as well as further down - but I think we've hit the upper limit with that titanosaur.

Known only from a beak (like many of the pterosaurs here), Leptostomia is the tiniest of our animals so far, with a wingspan barely breaking one metre.

This is such a poorly known animal, and so I've based my reconstruction entirely on the description of it being 'deinonychosaurian' in nature. Adding it to the lineup, we've got our smallest critter so far - again eyeballing the size to some extent.

Inabtanin, an azhdarchoid pterosaur and a Cretaceous fish, Enchodus, both want a baby abelisaur that strayed too close to the water

The file size for this size comparison image keeps getting bigger - will have to do something about that! Anyways, Elosuchus is a large animal, attaining lengths of over 7m, a full metre longer than any living crocodile.

It's nice to start filling out the skies again! There are quite a few similar looking toothed pterosaurs, so Anhanguera won't be alone for long!

Alanqa is a very interesting animal, with a slender beak that is 'pinched' at the apex, alongside protrusions that suggest a shellfish-crunching lifestyle. It may also be part of a lineage that led to the giant azhdarchids, and so I reconstructed it as a sort of proto-azhdarch.
