Description A "sauropod mimic" stegosaur, called Miragaia Longicollum. It's from the mid jurassic.

I chose an Okapi-ish color scheme, as it lived in deep forest, and plus I like the look. This sketch was one I screwed up during the inking process, but I did my best with the coloring.

The mimicry works- I thought this was Agustinia when I was flipping through the thumbnails.

Nice work! It sure is an odd dinosaur. I was thinking about illustrate it too.
I like that coloring patern. What did you use for painting it?

Photoshop 4: it's all I have, but I can get good results from it sometimes.

It was named after the parish it was discovered at which was called Miragaia.
