This such a great work that you should give most of your art to most of Natural History Museums around the world so they can desply it for everyone to see.

looks like this is the final. Ankylosaurus defeated T. rex in the semi-final and Triceratops had a win against Tyrannotitan (yes I know T-titan lived earlier and in Argentina but it's just playing in my head right now, something like a "Dino Cup" tournament, the best 128 dinos in 7 rounds 1 vs 1). And to make it that even raptors or smaller triassic dinosaurs have a chance to win some fights, the fights would be in a small circular ring (without ropes or else, just a ring on the ground), so a KO or leaving the ring counts as a loss / win.
I think (and hope) Ankylosaurus will win here.

I do not believe they would likely fight each other often, as for both are herbivores. But part of me speculate if triceratops was actually more aggressive at times, sort of like a modern cape-buffalo or even a hippopotamus. At the same time, I question if ankylosaurus was aggressively defensive like a rhino and would threaten things around it quite often; generally a defensive loner that prefer to be alone.Β
If my speculations are correct, a fight between them would likely be the intentional or unintentional result of the triceratops getting too close.
However, if they fought (which they likely would not, due to injuries), the ankylosaurus would have the edge with its taught body armor and smashing clubbed tail (which would shatter bones) while triceratops had size and a head of massive robust horns (that could supposedly even pierce through a car) with a thick frill.Β

Only just stumbled across your work. It's gorgeous! The composition is incredible, and the entire piece has an atmosphere I can't quite put my finger on. Love it!

I hadn't seen any of your art lately, and it's great to see so much of your new work at once.
I love this painting, not only because it's very good at the technical level and because I love the subjects, but because it feels natural, it's not just the two herbivores , but the small details that let the viewer know that they are part of a much larger environment, with a lot of other animals just as amazing and bizarre as these two.

Thanks for praises. It's hard to find time for painting these days, so I tend to do something little by little and them submit them at once. That's actually a bad strategy if you want people to actually look at your work though.

Considering how we have games likes Dinosaur Battlegrounds and Saurian around the corner, it'll be fantastic to actually live/recreate this moment and several others!

I had forgotten all about DB, any idea what's going on with that? Saurian is sort of "on the wall" at the moment, everybody's talking about it.Β

They're still working and most of the discussions are mainly going on their Forum Page. Β Other than that they recently made a post on facebook:Β www.palaeontologyonline.com/arβ¦

You've made a wonderful (even more than usual) job here. This is the best thing I've seen in dA in a long time.

Wow - great stuff - your forest scenes are always great! Β Love the angle and muted blues, which contrast well with the reflection.

The mood of this one is so cool! Looks like footage from a time-traveler's trailcam.

I like the angle you choose, and the sky reflecting in those puddles.
