Description
Germany, 165 million years ago: The infamous "Monster von Minden", Wiehenvenator, scouting along the shoreline of one of the (ger)many islands.Rather fast reconstruction of this new theropod, I'm currently working on another piece for some time but I just had to squeeze this guy inΒ as soon as I heard that he's finally been described, since he was found in my state
The background is a composite of some pics I took in San Francisco 2014 because I wanted to focus on the animal and not spend too much time on the background.

Interesting - I had not heard of this dinosaur, but if it is newly described that would make sense. It's good to hear that these remains have been described and named after so long.
Anyway, as to the picture itself it is very eye-catching and natural looking. The muted colours remind me of walks on the beach in winter, so an appropriate feel. The head of the main dinosaur seems to be very accurate based on pictures of the skull material, but I would say that the eye seems very superficial, with no obvious lid or skin folds around it - that could just be the distance though. The colours seems a little dull to me, but obviously this is subjective and they are perfectly plausible.
The photographic background is very well put together, and I'd like to say that the footprints in the sand look very natural. The rightmost pterosaur looks artifical somehow, but the rest of the blending of photographs and drawings is extremely well done.
On the whole, I really like this picture and I'm looking forward to seeing more like it.

Thanks a bunch!
You got a point with the eyes, I didn't want to go that into detail due to the distance.
Also thanks for the praise on the footprints, they took me quite some time :'DΒ

On first sight I wouldn't actually the background are just photos. Looks nice, but I don't see Pamela.
