Yangchuanosaurus zigongensis portrait

In accordance with the renovations I am doing for all my blogs, I have changed the purpose of this one as a showcase for my art. This is a portrait I completed over the holidays of Yangchuanosaurus zigongensis, a three-and-a-half tonne theropod that has been uncovered in China. Like an Allosaurus of the orient, it would have been the top predator of its ecosystem. I used the colours of a beautiful agamid lizard as a model for what I've produced here. It probably wasn't as brilliant as this in life, but it looked good to me.
