Digital painting for my 3D animation class at USC. We're supposed to illustrate an environment. I chose an ancient beach with a Gorgonopsid meandering across it (one of my favorite Permian-era beasties). I thought stromatolites would be a nice touch as they add some variety to the geography and also represent the truely ancient for paleo-fans.
Speed-painting, 4 or 6 hours (I forget), Corel Painter using artists oils, pastels, conte, charcoal, and oil pastel
god damn, i adore prehistoric creatures!
this one almost looks like the earliest canine ancestor even! i forget what the name is.. like.. cyon something.. Eucyon.. too small... Anyways!
Very magnificent grasp on the ocean tide foam, even though it was speed painted, it's very realistic, which is an unarguable mark of talent.
You captured the prehistoric feel of the animal as well, which i've only seen in a very few (or maybe cuz no one ever draws them heh( the other guy i adore for his animals =Norke his buckram
and the interesting rocks are like a playground to the eyes.

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article.
In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
Have a great time everyone and please fav this article so as many people can see the featured works. I would recommend seeing each one and faving them too.
I'd like to show you some awesome nature related work from more or less unknown artists which deserve more attention - this is a must see, you won't regret it!!!

Actually, I think they're thrombolites. But I think the two are relatively similar.
