Description This is a birthday gift for a dear friend of mine, , who if you remember, made this drawing for me for my birthday: www.deviantart.com/duskyvel/ar…
     
     Well, this drawing was part of the plan too, and was conceived around late June, and was pretty easy to draw, but the problem was, I did it too early. But the good thing was that this gave me time to revise it, and revise I did. I originally based the skull off of Tracy Ford's reconstruction of PMU.R 1250, the holotype of Parasaurolophus tubicen: www.paleofile.com/imges/Dinosa…

     But I wasn't satisfied with the look of it, the crest seemed too short and narrow, so I instead chose to base the skull off of NMMNH P-25100, which I had seen a cast of at this year's Dino Fest (at the Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History) with  sta.sh/0r2q9d37clh sta.sh/021iz0ewrgu3 Honestly, I was much more satisfied with choosing this specimen, it was quite enormous and complete, and I'm still at awe at how enormous this thing was! But aside from the skull, the rest of the drawing was a piece of cake (no pun intended).
   
     And with that, I hope you all enjoy this drawing, especially you, Isabelle, and I hope you enjoy your special day!

I actually absolutely love the artwork but I'm hung up on how much hadrosaur bites must have hurt

I bet that Parasaurolophus tubicen is saying "Notice Me. Notice me Senpi"

Nah, he's just eaten too many psychedelic mushrooms and is wondering what the hell is in front of it!

Damn, that's a pretty epic looking picture. Not only is the anatomy spot on, but the shading and feeling of the mass is visually present.
