Description During one of my many mental ramblings and rants (mostly about me being a creepy daydreamer), I had this weird story idea. It occurred to me that everybody makes a big deal out of dinosaurs, you mention the name in a crowded room you’ll get a few people to turn there heads. But mention a prehistoric that isn’t a dinosaur (or in some cases from the Ice Age) and 9 times out of 10 people will give you a funny look and will even go as far as to ignore you. I really peeves me as there as there are many interesting prehistoric animals outside of dinosaurs that no one cares about.
So my mind immediately began imagining the idea that some one did a tv series about gorganopsids, a therapsid or mammal like reptile from the late Permian that was the first animal to evolve sabor teeth and the largest land animal to evolve thus far till the dinosaurs came around. Here is not only a large and major predators of the time but it also lived during one of the worst mass extinctions to ever take place where 90% of life died off. Tell me that wouldn’t make fore an interesting drama.
But then it occurred that this could be an interesting idea and decided that some day I’ll write such a story focusing on a gorganosid taking on the trails and strife during a major mass extinction. However, rather then make them simple dumb animals, I’d thought it be cool to have them be like Warrior cat style, with personalities, codes and honor. Hence why I came up with the title: Law by Fang. I don’t know if and when I’ll get around to this idea but hey enjoy the image.
So this was a bit of fun to draw, those stripes turned out really cool and the green of her eye really contrasts with the browns of her pelt.
Note that the background is not my own work but something I got online, I didn’t want to draw up the background because I was feeling lazy.
Enjoy folks!

cool art, i seen this animal in walking with monsters it is one of our Mammal like reptile ancestors, that lived in the Permian Period, the period that ended with the most terrifying extinction of all, and it was worse than the one that ended the dinosaur age

VioletWhirlwind [2013-10-14 02:09:44 +0000 UTC]

Gorgonopsiiiiid! Nobody seems to remember them...or even know about them at all. (The only reason I knew what this was was I saw a documentary on Animal Planet about them...one of those CG-brings-them-back-to-life things)

Devinital In reply to VioletWhirlwind [2013-10-14 15:10:54 +0000 UTC]

Was it called Walking with Monsters? That was what introduced me to these beasties. They are pretty cool looking beasts, I'd love to see more love given to them.


FYI, check out a tv series called Primeval, its from BBC network and it has a Gorganopsid in it (along with other prehistoric animals).

That would be way cool to read!  I do hope you do do it sometime, I'd be on board


This turned out great, I love the emotion you can sense from her, specifically from the eyes.  Very nice!


I have some videos that are somewhat related to this, when you have the time, you'll get a kick out of these (watch in link order):

www.youtube.com/watch?v=MrKKS5...


I just want to say, the fact that 2/3 of these videos are dedicated to prehistoric mammals instead of dinosaurs might interest you  Plus. Andrew Volpe is freaking ADD and that, I think, can be appreciated by you as well XD

Devinital In reply to YankeyDoodles [2013-07-16 23:48:02 +0000 UTC]

I'm heavily considering it now considering the massive interest I've gotten from people.


Those videos were great, that guy needs a TV show or something. Thanks for that.


Also, I'm thinking of having a little friendly get together with some friends this Saturday if your interested. Nothing too complicated just ordering pizza or something and watching a movie. Your free to bring a friend if you like.

YankeyDoodles In reply to Devinital [2013-07-17 04:58:28 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, well I want to see it.  It would be nice to see something other than dinosaurs because I admit, I'm one of those people who forgets about other prehistoric things.  Outside of Ice Age and Andrew Volpe's videos, I'm ignorant on the subject lol


Yeah, he's actually the lead singer of a band I follow lol  He's a dork and therefor just awesome.


Yeah, I'll note you for the details It sounds fun

Hey, I recognize you. Hiddenlions has mentioned you a few times in journals, glad to finally meet you in person.

Anyway thanks. Technically this isn't a dinosaur, its actually closer related to us then dinosaurs (though not directly). But close enough.

Devinital In reply to Nemui-Akuma [2013-07-16 23:06:50 +0000 UTC]

True, I think most people who think of dinosaur actually mean "badass prehistoric creature" and not the literal term.

I am a fan of dinosaurs.


I like this, it's really nice and matches the prehistoric concept. I enjoy the way you colored everything, the creature has a nice touch to it. The entire concept is really awesome! Great job!!

Thank you.


I honestly think every one likes dinosaurs. I have yet to meet some one that doesn't at least think there cool. I may have to post more prehistoric based work in the future just for the fun of it: I do have loads of it sitting around collecting dust.
