I love the sunset touch to this pic, it reminds me of an African sunset with lions and giraffes.

Easily my favorite piece of yours yet! Keep up the amazing work! (The bristles on those Ojoceratops! The immensity of the Alamosaurus! <3!)

Imagine Richard Attenborough saying in the background somewhere as the first soulful notes of the main musical theme from the movie begins to build: "Welcome... to Jurassic Park."
(I know this is the cretaceous, still love the name though.)

I'm confused. It's a great and interesting work but birds and dinosaurs in the same time interval? Is it possible?

Of course, birds evolved in the later part of the jurassic some 160 million years ago and where contemporaneous with dinosaurs up until their extinction 65 million years ago, although the birds featured in this picture are unnamed by the artiest they could be some species, although no flying bird fossils have been found in the Ojo Alamo formation to my knowledge. Many other birds are known from this era such as Vegavis Avisaurus and Canadaga

It's gorgeous!
I really like the lighting and the silhouettes!
Also, I have to say that everything you draw is wonderful!
You're an amazing artist!

Are these animals indigenous to North or South America, or some other country entirely? As far as I understand, in the cretacious there were no sauropods in North America, correct?

There was a decrease in sauropod diversity in north america during the late cretaceous, but apparently they never truly disappeared. Early cretaceous sauropods included Astrodon, Pleurocoelus, and Sauroposeidon, while Alamosaurus lived towards the end of the period in what is now New Mexico.

Cool. I'll have to look them up.

Ok ,I have been seeing the porcupine quills on the Ceratopsians a lot lately. Do we know that they had those for sure?

Apart from the quills in Psittacosaurus, there are skin impressions of Triceratops showing nipple-like scales with holes in their center, which may indicate an attachment point for stiff quills.

"showing nipple-like scales" ...

I was listening to the Walking with Beasts soundtrack when I looked at this picture, specifically the track used in the episode "Land of Giants", and the combination of the music and artwork really gave a sense of wonder and awe at the immensity of these animals. It immersed me in the picture, and it almost made me feel like I was there.
Wonderful, absolutely wonderful.

The word awesome will have to do

And then, a t-rex suddenly pops up from the bushes and ruin the serene scene

So suggestive...
Thank God this is a "quick one", I can't imagine a "longer" version of this work.
Bravo!

I think it is still considered a separate genus for now, although some believe it is synonymous with either Triceratops or Eotriceratops.

Wonderful work, Alamosaurus it's one of my favorite dinosaurs, and certainly Ojoceratops is rarely used, although maybe because it is involved in the synonyms debate of the Triceratops-related chasmosaurines?
