MAGNIFY THIS FOR THE DETAILS, TO SEE THE FULL EFFECT FROM THE EYES OF THE ADULT REX TO THE EYES OF DODGSON trust me i spared no expense hehe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Description of Entry: I have drawn Dodgson’s last moments as he becomes the baby rexes’ first hunted meal as the mother watches overhead, I’ve drawn to the fullest of my capabilities the descriptions Crichton wrote of this dreadful but well deserved death scene, like Malcolm said in the book “There is a God’ referring to Dodgson getting what he deserves, The scene is becoming alive through the very page from the book that describes it, and then I added a border with the simple TREX skeleton from the book cover I didn’t want to add any reference to the movies so I kept it just as the books would be…I hope you enjoy this as much I did making It…

This overall took about 10hrs+and maybe more because I’ve been working on it since the contest was announced the amount of detail I’ve put in counts for the amount of time

The scene in the book that I picked: pages 387-388 Titled EXIT

Lewis Dodgson fell.
Tumbling through the air he dropped from the mouth of the tyrannosaur, and landed hard on an earthen
slope. The breath was knocked out of him, his head slammed down, and he was dizzy for a moment. He
opened his eyes, and saw a sloping bank of dried mud. He smelled a sour odor of decay. And then he heard
a sound that chilled him: it was a high-pitched squeaking.
He got up on one elbow, and saw he was in the tyrannosaur nest. The sloping mound of dried mud was
all around him. Now there were three infants here, including one with a piece of aluminum wrapped
around its leg. The infants were squeaking with excitement as they toddled to-ward him.
Dodgson scrambled to his feet, unsure of what to do. The other adult tyrannosaur was on the far side of
the nest, purring and snorting. The one that had brought him was standing over him.
Dodgson watched the babies moving toward him, with their downy necks and their sharp little jaws.
And then he turned to run. In an instant, the big adult brought his head down, knocking Dodgson over.
Then the tyrannosaur raised its head again, and waited. Watching.
What the hell is going on? Dodgson thought. Cautiously, he got to his feet again. And again, he was
knocked down. The infants squeaked and came closer. He saw that their bodies were covered in bits of
flesh and excrement. He could smell them. He got up on all fours, and began crawling away.
Something grabbed his leg, holding him. He looked back and saw that his leg was in the jaws of the
tyrannosaur. The big animal held it gently for a moment. Then it bit down decisively. The bones snapped
and crunched.
Dodgson screamed in pain. He could no longer move. He could no longer do anything but scream. The
babies toddled forward eagerly. For a few seconds they kept their distance, heads darting forward to take
quick bites. But then, when Dodgson did not move away, one hopped up on his leg, and began to bite at
the bleeding flesh. The second jumped on his crotch, and pecked with razor-sharp jaws at his waist.
The third came right alongside his face, and with a single snap bit into his cheek. Dodgson howled. He
saw the baby eating the flesh of his own face. His blood was dripping down its jaws. The baby threw its
head back and swallowed the cheek, and then turned, opened its jaws again, and closed over Dodgson's
neck.
