I Deeded Theses

Again, for no really good reason, other than I'm procrastinating. DELAYING the INEVITABLE.

You might say.

...

I kind of like how the Stegosaurus is sort of floating in space. Like a milk dud!

For no reason, really.

_Euparkeria_ study: 2

So how is the first member of the upcoming show coming?

Source material for Euparkeria is rather thin on the ground; my primary source of anatomic information comes from Robert L. Carroll's book, Vertebrate Paleontology and Evolution (1997). And it does feature some nice views of Euparkeria's skull (p 270).

Only...

The views presented are only in plan and elevation views. A section view of the skull is missing, so I derived this from the two existing views:



Note that it is orthographically rendered, and I have no idea if the eyes pointed quite that far forward. But from the three drawings I was able to sketch this pretty quickly:



Hang on, I think this would make a fine logo for the show! It just needs a bit of tweaking. Watch this blog for further updates.

And not a particularly satisfying one, either. It's been suggested that I look at turtles and tortoises for skin ideas. This croc stuff may not be the best route to go.

Pharoid vs. Acrolady

Both LTR size, pencil.

This can't be good... This Acrolady looks pretty badass right now. Normally, she looks fairly dainty, but it was this pose which suggested her expression:



LTR, pencil.

Standing on the Pharoid's timechamber suggests something has gone horribly awry for our seventies-haired hero. Or has it? She's on the hunt. Perhaps her prey has escaped.

At the very least, he'll need a new apartment, from the looks of it.

Microlady and Acrolady

Both LTR/pencil, done 30 Aug 2007.

All on LTR paper, pencil, from 8 April through 11 April. There's more, but I have no time to scan and upload more than this at the moment.
