Description
Aucasaurus garridoi (or Abelisaurus garridoi sensu Gregory Paul), medium sized theropod from Patagonia.Since I had scanned several steps of the drawing, I merged them in a single file...
From top to bottom... sketch, ink, shades (markers) and very quickly added digital color.

you know I can't help but feel sorry for the Abelisaurs, Aucasaurus in particular. They look intimidating but the arms and hands just makes you want to laugh. Great work though, It looks nice.

Genial, me encanta ver los pasos de un dibujo desde la concepción del boceto hasta la versión terminada. Muy buena la pose por cierto.

muchas gracias!! la verdad es que varias personas me dijeron que les gustaba la postura del animal... y como pocas veces ocurre, mi idea original antes del dibujo, y como resultó, fueron bastante similares... la idea era que pareciera que esta evaluando a una presa desde detrás de un árbol, como sin poder decidirse a atacar...
Y la idea de poner todos los pasos... justo se dió que los tenía en una carpeta todos juntos... voy a tratar de ser mas regular con eso y tener imágenes de todos los pasos para armar cosas así.

Yo lo hice hace tiempo con un dibujo, debería hacerlo de nuevo con algo mejor... pero me olvido o me da vagancia

Me acuerdo, un Mapusaurus. Estaba fantástico!
Es un plomo andar escaneando por etapas... pero en tu caso vale muchisimo! laburas un monton los dibujos, y esta excelente para los que quieren ver tu metodo de trabajo (lo mio es mas basal...)

Wave your tail in the air like you just dont care. Sorry, couldn't resist.
As for Paul's classification...I would say he has not produced the science to back up his claim. I see the logic, but he grouped a very large number of animals into Centrosaurus which are, as far as we know, not all even in the same family. I just found some classification issues with his field guide...that and the flying maniraptorans...which are animals which do not have flight feathers preserved...uh.

yes yes! although I don't work in dinosaurs, nor have a great knowledge about some points of classification, calling Giganotosaurus carolinii as Carcharodontosaurus carolinii, but leaving the Giganotosaur-like Mapusaurus in its own genus looks pretty strange...
But the point of Abelisaurus-Aucasaurus... who knows... Abelisaurus skull has been reconstructed in the eighties, using as comparisons Allosaurs and Tyrannosaurs... thus the enlarged "face".. I'll love to se a re-study of this animal...
On the other hand, I prefer the methodology which classify new animals in their own genus, than grouping several species in a single genus... systematics change all the time, and grouping several species in a single genus may be misleading... but that's an idea.
Thanks for the comment!!!

The Giganotosaurus as Carcharodontosaurus further dissolves when you consider that the phylogeny now suggests their not THAT closely related

yes! well... you can call all Carcharodontosaurids "Carcharodontosaurus", it can be done... (taxonomically speaking). However, if you call Giganotosaurus "Carcharodontosaurus", you MUST call Mapusaurus "Carcharodontosarus", since Giganotosaurs and Mapusaurs are more closely related than to Carcharodontosaurus... and that's what GSP hasn't done....
