He obviously was abducted by the Nazi Mammoth People that control our governments for knowing too much about the anatomy of Pleistocene mammals.

Oh. I had no idea I was being addressed until now. I guess it would be better to mention me or reply to my comment.
So, THAT'S what happened to him... very unfortunate, I joined DA long after his abduction, it would have been nice to interact with him.

Most of my artwork will be available for print now! If there is anything in my scraps that you would like printed let me know, I only went through my main gallery to make submissions.

You should do a Desmodus draculae. It's an awesome species.

I will consider it, I've never done a bat before!

Wow, this work is drop-jaw gorgeous! I write a series of novels based on prehistoric cats, and I sketch to try and visualize my characters.

Thank you so much, I appreciate the kind words! I'm going to have to check out your gallery, prehistoric cats are awesome!

I could not stop staring at your gallery- your work is amazing. As a huge lover of paleontology myself, I adore your art!

Thank you so much, kind words like yours keeps me encouraged to produce more restorations. I'm still improving my techniques so I've got a long way to go, hopefully they will just get better! Thank you again!

Amazing work and detail, have you ever thought of doing living big cat drawings like these in pphotoshop. I'm just so sad there is only one page of your work, its all so amazing!

Awww shucks, I get into slumps a lot I truly apologize, - and thank you for the compliment! I try my hardest to keep coming back after I get into a slump, I swear. I am working on some renderings for a museum right now, hopefully this will result in several new submissions for you to enjoy!

As a fellow Pleistocene Fauna fan and an admirer of of your work, I have the perfect online book for you...

That IS the book that inspired me to start paleo-art when I read it in 2006 ...and is exactly why I do mostly Ice-age North America, I'm trying to bring to life, and understand everything that was a part of the last "Super-Serengeti". It's probably no coincidence that it appears to be the "perfect book" for me. lol

See if you can contact the author to see your work! I'm sure he would be stunned by your talent!

I'm a big fan of serchio, he's very talented! - Our techniques and content are admittedly similar but I've never seen that as a bad thing

My techniques are more complex nowadays but the basic concepts are summarized with this image I made a few years ago, it's a good starting point

Hey boy now that you're back you get to work on that big poster, ya hear!

Dear sir,
How dare you go so long without informing me of your existence. As a huge fan of prehistoric mammals, I am infuriated that your gallery has taken so long for me to find. Why the heck have you not read my mind and come to me to introduce yourself?
WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL MY LIFE????????
*ahem* 'Scuse me...
But I freakin' LOVE your gallery!! You are so awesome! (hug attack)

Haha thank you, prehistoric mammals are awesome

I'm sifting through over 1700 "updates" right now and I am moved at the amount of positive feedback from everyone. I cannot address every message one by one so let me first thank everyone who has given me any kind of feed back at all - I must apologize to anyone I have disappointed due to my lack of activity. I can't guarantee more projects in the near future but I will say that the enthusiasm I've received is contagious. I'm re-evaluating some free-time to see if I can re-visit this interest of mine. My lifestyle went through many changes the past few years and as I've gotten older my time has gotten more valuable (and harder to manage). These were all time consuming projects done in nothing but my own free time. I had (and still have) no idea how to translate this type of work into sustenance, otherwise rest assured I wouldn't need to be dusting any cobwebs off of my deviantart profile... Once again, thank you everyone for the support and enthusiasm I truly appreciate it, I'll see what I can do to add some new work.

I've had you in my watch for a quite a while now, but sadly I had never truly browsed your gallery more throughly before. Must say, that besides having a great talent of making prehistoric animal photomanipulations which look much more realistic than most in dA, you also have a great talent of inspiring. No, I'm not switching into photomanipulation myself, but your gallery makes me want to illustrate some Cenozoic mammals.
Hope to see more artwork from you. It's about time, looks like you haven't really been hanging out here lately?

I know. Shame. I remained hopeful that he'd return because he had a long absence before.

Too bad. I really would like to see that Pleistocene north America poster finished, it was looking awesome.
I also read the megafauna, 1st victims series and it was really good as well.

Probably getting on with his life, I suggest you do the same.
π: 0 β©: 0
He started it 3 years ago. You would've thought it was finished by now. But he was busy with other stuff and now he hasn't been seen for ages.
Where are you, Dan?

I had to take a really long dump.

Oh, lol. Glad you're back. Your work is inspirational and I've thought of trying out paleo-reconstructions myself, so I just installed photoshop today.
π: 0 β©: 1
Go for it! Send me a message if you need any starting tips, Photoshop has a heavy learning curve but once you start to "get it" you can really have fun with it

I know. He needs to return and make progress with the poster.
π: 0 β©: 0
Eh I doubt we can expect anything from him seeing the last time we heard from him was November 2009
π: 0 β©: 0
You see, loads of people expect you to finish it and sell it. Please don't disappoint us.

π: 0 β©: 0
And that you make it available as a print after it's finished. Your work is awesome.
π: 0 β©: 0
Your work is definitely inspiring. Your poster on the Pleistocene North American Megafauna is already my favourite piece of art on the site. I hope you finish it.
