Description
"When the Meat Strikes Back"
Protoceratops hellenikorhinus, generic tyrannosaurid. A graphite sketch I did of a mated pair of Protoceratops trying to dispatch a juvenile tyrannosaurid (based on the Raptorex specimen).
I've had this idea for a few months now and I just decided to sketch it out again, maybe to paint digitally. I've been reading about all the ideas of ceratopsians perhaps being omnivorous, so I thought why not illustrate something along the lines of a ceratopsian hunting another animal, perhaps in a state of desperation?
I just happened to be sitting in my anthropology of religion class with a copy of All Yesterdays with me and I decided to elaborate a bit more on this idea. It did seem appropriate to the theme of All Yesterdays.
I might work on this one a bit more for a future painting.
Complete on the 10th of March 2017.
Done using pencils and graphite dust.

Ceratopsians being omnivores, could be a very interesting idea, especially since their beaks have later been used by the goddamned terror birds, especially the early depictions of gastornis

Gastornis was not a terror bird.
And terror bird beaks don't resemble ceratopsian beaks. They are laterally flattened, with a massive gape, and equipped with razor-sharp cutting edges.

One wonders how the raptors took these guys down...
