Description

Note: this chart was done in a moment of time when my focus and research on animals was superficial and the knowledge I got was really simple so the result of the sample here are very rushed and not as good as I would have though to be for a goodor decent animal size chart, in one point I will do a better version.

I think that as a good way to finish the year and is to show a last and good amount of WIP, in this case about thee species that exist and that existed for the spec size chart, since, from the beginning, one of the original ideas for the first version was to expose several of the real giants of our world, but, because I was using silhouettes made by other people, I felt that they would contrast the art styles too much, so I decided to take my time to create each animals too, and now at the end, here they are.

It has been somewhat complicated, since as many know, there is always one or another exaggeration, speculation or even misinformation about the maximum size reached by certain species, especially extinct species. So I have taken some precautions about it to avoid forming some kind of discussion about "this should be bigger". As, because this is still a WIP, there are still some missing species which I probably would add in the future.

Another thing, being honest, my skills to draw real animals as extinct are a bit rusty (or rather much) so sorry for some poor and deformed animal

Update: All species painted, in addition to slight changes and some new species added.
This is going to stay like this for now, so I will no longer accept suggestions about what other animals I should add, remember that these will only be a reference for the SE size chart so I will not delve into making the longest species of all animal groups.
