I wonder why they have to call that as Deinotherium Gigantissimum instead of Deinotherium Giganteum.Both of them seem to be same.

Brilliant - I love the wrinkles, how did you do that? Did you draw in coloured pencils and then etch into the paper?

It's colored pencils, also sratches in paper by old (non-working) ball-pen. And Photoshop with GIMP.

Super giant. Species was named by S. Stefanescu in 1892. Animal can be about 4,5 m high. May be the same as D. proavum, named by Eichwald in 1835.

Imagine how big your typical D. giganteum would be if it wore custom-made platform shoes.

Really nice job on the anatomy & texture. Did you use colored pencils?

nice drawing really odd that those teeth are so close to each other, wonder what was the use of having them side by side..
