Description "Final Moment"

Sarcosuchus imperator, Mawsonia gigas. An acrylic painting of an immature Mawsonia that is about to get snapped up in the jaws of a hunting Sarcosuchus. I did this on my birthday to pass the time before and after acting class.

This was namely inspired by the little Kaiyodo coelacanth figurine I have on my desk. It looked great and I got the idea of using it in a painting. 

Completed on the 26th of February 2015.

Done using acrylics and color pencils.

Excellent work and this would more likely than Sarcosuchus ambushing large dinosaurs giving its gharial like snout.

Very nice.  I like how you paid attention to the shape of Mawsonia fins and the front of the Sarcosuchus jaws, helps distinguish them from a modern day pair.

I like how you conveyed the murk but since you asked for a critique I would offer that you should add a third element for scale to let the uninformed viewer know how big the players are. Some might just assume Mawsonia is a couple feet long and the croc comparable to present day ones.

Is it wrong to have the Jaws theme going through my head?

An excellent paining and I can't wait for more! Thank you!
