The whole G.P. suing people over pretty much nothing( i know some people really do rip off his work but most do not) makes me nervous to even put my art out there. Granted i dont make skeletal reconstructions because i dont have the patients BUT i would like to start sculpting more and make my own models. so if i made a dino in a certain running pose or threat pose even remotely close to a G.P. Reconstruction it makes me worried someone may get a wild hair!

This reminds me of a painting by Douglas Henderson recently featured in the book 'Dinosaur Art: The Worldβs Greatest Paleoart'. You can see it here [link]
Although similar I think they are both awesome compositions in their own way

So it will the end all subjects and will be nothing to paint anymore ))). "There are only seven notes in the melody" - we say. Greg Paul should live in Russia, so he really understands how hard it is to work as paleo-artist. And then he will realize that the poses, subjects, ideas and scenes are not subject to copyrights, copyrights extend only to the product per se.
p.s. GP painted pterodactyls and waves? I'd like to see it. Could you please give me the link?

Here's at least one link to the painting: [link]
Here I found another: [link] Pterodactylus squares off against two Archaeopteryx.
Good point about the seven notes in a melody. If every post and scene were to be copyrighted then quickly artists would be unable to paint anything without ending up in court. Of course I doubt Greg Paul will ever sue people just for similar scenes, there are too many people doing it and it's impossible for him to even have a case when it's NOT his own work being sold under another name. And honestly there are not that many people who make a living from ripping off Greg Paul's work. The vast majority of dinosaur books I see have FAR inferior art when compared to GP, most of them are copied from Jurassic Park's awful hollywood dinosaurs rather than anything approaching GP's paintings.

Very cool. I like the scheme on the pterosaurs, and the beautiful background.
