There's an enormous stack of half-drawn drawings on my scanner/printer. Searching for a specific skeletal in this thing - my printer's run out of ink - I was amazed how much of this shit was there. Oh, and among the better ones, a very, very close-to-finished Herrerasaurus ischigualastensis, so I just did the necessary tweaking and shading to get it done.

It's a fairly well-known thing, so I spare you the introduction. It's got an ugly face and a surprising degree of wrist mobility. Justin Tweet hates Sinraptor's guts for the boring look of the animal, and to me it's Herrerasaurus that just looks ugly. Not in a Lemmy Kilmister-ugly-but-cool-way like an abelisaur does, just startlingly ugly face for a non-avialan dinosaur. Still I like it, it's a very cool beast. It has a very distinct flair, and as macro-ish-predator from dinosaurdom's first days, it sure is impressive.

Yeah, protofeathers, yadda yadda. I'm probably the third one to draw herrerasaurish things with an archaic sort of plumage, after Jeff Martz and dA resident's Smnt2k .

@Smnt: This is the drawing I mentioned when I commented your Herrerasaurus.

Ref by GSP, it's from the pre-Scott Hartman herrerasaur skeletal days.
