Description
I couldn't make up my mind what to call this, Stalker or Swamp Thing. I settled on Stalker so no one would wonder why the Marvel character isn't in the painting.This was a lot of fun to do, I think my best dinosaur painting and I had fun doing the trees.
Transparent and opaque watercolors on 100% rag board.

How does this not have a DD yet? Brilliant work, that tree has an intimidating amount of detail happening in there.

Thank you. I have been feeling awkward about the dino work I've been doing. Though I love drawing dinosaurs I am no expert, so I really appreciate when someone takes the time to point out where I fall short. I try to learn from videos, literature and looking at other artist. Here I should have refered to a model skeleton I had.

awesome, id imagine feathers would be hard to do with watercolors

Actually the feathers wouldn't have been too hard, I just thought that there was evidence that although they hatched with feathers like a chick, the skin of an adult Tyranosaurus was bumpy and leathery. Is this a case where there are different beliefs in what they looked like?
I am not an expert but I do love to learn about dinosaurs and I appreciate being able to add to what I know.

no its based on the fact that no bird completely loses its feathers. The chicks would have likely grown with receded integuments, possibly reverting to a display symbol like in the modern variety. If you ask whether a tyrannosaur would overheat with all those feathers the answer is no because feathers (unlike fur) act like a natural air conditioner on the body, they can both warm and cool the body. If one tries to argue about the tail scales I am shoving that aside because one it was found at the base of the tail and two no official paper was published on it making it invalid especially as many modern birds still have their scales. The bumpy idea is more of a bias towards Jurassic park and against commonly accepted science. Look at my gallery for my feathered tyrannosaurs for the most likely scenario for feathered tyrannosaurs and glad I could add to what you know.

That is terrifying, sir! What a foreboding presence he has! I did not expect a T-Rex. Those trees are gorgeous, as is your color palette.
