An amazing piece of art.
Quick nitpick, though, Quinkana fortirostrum never grew to the size of MegalaniaΒ and Pallimnarchus.Β You're thinking of Quinkana spp.

That's true. Β I should redraw this piece eventually.

Eventually, I need to redraw the picture, as Quinkana's tail should be more rounder, and not flattened.

There might've been some form of competition, huh? With Wonambi and all mixed in....!

I noticed your gallery is packed with em. These drawings for a book or you just like prehistoric creatures?

Both, actually. My prehistoric critters are going into a book I'm working with *NTamura , currently titled "Fink's and Tamura's Big Book of Dead Animals"

To put it in a nutshell, it's going to be an encyclopedia of prehistoric animals to put all other prehistoric animal encyclopedias to shame, especially since the quality of a lot of our competitions is, quite frankly, very shameful.

Buy four copies, and I'll autograph all of them: keep the one you want, and sell the extras on eBay.
