Description
For this render I had to keep in mind that near trees are casting shadows on the Acrocanthosaurus, so it was necessary to model some very basic looking trees to achieve the effect, which got finalized in Gimp.Here, my Acrocanthosaurus is taking a relaxed stroll around a pond, while watching what's happening above the water's surface or maybe there is another Acrocanthosaur walking around. (Hmm, perhaps a female, because I like the thought of dinos, who find their significant other
Thank you for spending time with the picture, writing a comment or just for faving

Naturally, I adore this one a lot, especially the colors! The background looks very natural and like it could be part of an early Cretaceous landscape...well, with the exception of the large grasses. There probably was some grass in the Cretaceous but not that advanced. I remember them studying the coprolites of sauropods (I think?) and they found evidence for Cretaceous grasses...

Thank you and I appreciate your opinion on this render. Yes, the modern grasses are often the problem for scenes with dinosaurs, if I want to take the photos of my home, but I took the photo at a time, when most of the grass was still dried up and brown.
Now, the grasses are green and you see how nature is coming to life after the winter.
I love this place so much, because of the nature and there are also few "romantic" spots, where I like to spent some time.
Some paleontologists assume, that grasses were existing in the late Cretaceous. I think I read something about that in an article about botany for paleoartists.

Like the idea of this one, good photo for background and somehow you managed to fit this one to fit perfectly into the picture and isnt standing out

Thank you. When I'm preparing such a render I just move the virtual camera around until the model matches the perspective of the background image.
