Description
2/5 fleshed Royal Ontario Museum fossils
Chasmosaurus was a late Cretaceous ceratopsid with a tremendous frill. The two wide openings made the frill less useful as defence - current speculation is that it may have held bold patterns, functioning as a threat display. I went for mimicry, with giant false eyes.
This is printed using risograph (hence the limited colours).

It's my first ceratopsian illustration, so I've DEFINITELY made some mistakes. Please don't be shy in pointing them out

I'm pretty sure the scream is a little older than Voldemort
"The Scream (Norwegian: Skrik) is the popular name given to each of four versions of a composition, created as both paintings and pastels, by the Expressionist artist Edvard Munch between 1893 and 1910"

Not to worry, I'm not implying Munch ripped off JK Rowling
