Saffron's Dinosaur Art

[saffronsdinosaurart]

Achillobator in the Moonlight

Achillobator is a large dromeosaur, about the height of a person, which name means "Achilles Hero."

I drew it here with iridescent feathers similar to the Caihong juji with preserved iridescent feathers, so certain dinosaurs did likely have iridescent feathers.

Sauroposeidon at Sunset and Eclipse

I created the eclipse version as a background for my brother and I figured it wouldn't be that hard to make a version with some more color.

Ekrixinatosaurus Family Beach Day

It's name means "Explosion born lizard" which is awesome on it's own but also tells the story of how it was found, a company digging a trench for a gas line discovered it after they blew it the fuck up with dynamite.

The babies names are Scaredy Samson, Angry Angela, and Dumbass Dorothy.

Miragaia Sketch

I know I haven't posted in a while and I said I wouldn't post more of my stories drawings but I've been working really hard on it so I haven't had more time for the usual sketches, to make it up to you I hope you like this sketch as much as I do. It's one of favorite dinosaurs so I hope I did it justice. Her name is Maria by the way, the dinosaur, not the girl.

Ceratosuchops Silhouette

Alright this is the last drawing from the story I'm working on that I'll post here for a bit, and it's by far the most simple, could be a good phone background if you want.

Blue Stalking Kryptops Sketch + Red Kryptops

Another sketch of a scene from a story I did a bit of work on, this is the same design for the kryptops I drew before but stalking the main character through the grass. Under that is the red and grey Kryptops design I didn't realize I've never even posted to this point. She's also one of the dinosaurus that appears in the story.

Silver Ceratosuchops Sketch

Sorry there's been no updates for a while, it was christmas and I got sick as a bitch. Anyway, while I was sick I started writing a story out of boredom, and my friend asked me to draw one of the dinosaur characters from the story. Which is good anyway because I've been thinking about how some of my early spinosaurid dinosaur drawings might look with some of the newer skills I've picked up. I'm not sure if I'll post the story anywhere yet I've still kinda just begun writing it.

Europasaurus sketch

This is a pretty dubious brachiosaurid with a debate over what family it should be put in. Regardless I wanted to draw it anyway as it's smaller and that makes it feel special to me. I also drew a person in too, for scale, but also because I've got to keep practicing drawing people before I forget how. Another notable feature of this dinosaur is it's an example of insular dwarfism, which is responsible for its size as it's so much smaller than it's related family, likely on account of being isolated like dwarf elephants and pygmy hippos.

Lusotitan sketch

Did you know this thing eats bones. Like Giraffes, they need those special extra nutrients and shit. It's called osteophagia and I think it's metal as fuck.

Cedarosaurus Sketch

Here we go, I finally fixed the feet. I also tried adding a little texture on the head and back, not sure how I feel about it. I think I'll get better at drawing the feet as I continue with the Brachiosaurids, but even then I think these look okay, just not great.

Majungasaurus Sketch

Thank's to @themightysaurus for this request, I hope you like it! It has that interesting horn on its head, we originally thought was more of a head dome like on pachycephalosaurids till we got more fossil. Which we've had quite a few of from the Maevarano Formation. One interesting note is that Majungasaurus is one of the few dinosaurs with witch we have significant evidence of cannibalism, with perfectly matching teeth marks cut into the bones.

Soriatitan Sketch

I've finally caught up through my backlog of paleoart so the posts are going to come slower now sorry also I'm working on that Majungasaurus, don't worry and I'm going to fix the sauropod feet for the next ones. Thanks for chatting with me in the comments too, I'm learning so much cool stuff.

Abydosaurus Sketch

At first glance not a particularly interesting brachiosaurid, though there are a couple things that set it apart and add to the coolness factor of this one. First of all not alot of sauropods are known from skull material, but what we found of this one is it's head and a bit of its neck. Which is also why it was names what it was, as the city of Abydos is said to be where the head and neck of osiris was buried.

Ekrixinatosaurus Sketch

In my opinion this is the 2nd most underrated dinosaur I've drawn. I didn't even think that much of it at first. It's a pretty strange abelisaurid with a weirdly tall skull and slightly longer arms than most others have. Other than that, what's so special about it? Well it's name means "Explosion born lizard" which is awesome on it's own but also tells the story of how it was found, a company digging a trench for a gas line discovered it after they blew it the fuck up with dynamite. I really wanted to do something special for this dinosaurs art to reflect how cool I think it is, and completely unprompted my friend asked if we knew of any dinosaurs that could glow in the dark. So I just had too, it even works for the whole "Explosion born lizard" angle on it too. I'm not sure if I really got the perspective right on it but that's hard considering it's proportions are kinda weird anyway.

Kryptops Sketch

Probably my favorite coloring I've done so far. I'm not going to add feathers on these ones because that one comment being a whinowhoreus under my spinosaurus drawing to me, and I'm extremely susceptible to peer pressure. (Even though I explained why I added those feathers like 8 times) But what the fuck I don't care, I don't even care a lot. So instead of feathers I'm going to try to color them. Which I'm not very good at yet so forgive me if the others aren't as good. Because it doesn't bother me at all. Kryptops is one of the smaller abelisaurids but it still about the height of a human. So still not one to be trifled with. It's smaller size also means it could be fast as fuck.

Giraffatitan Sketh

Once thought to be the largest dinosaur ever discovered Giraffatitan is the first non-spinosaurid dinosaur I've drawn. Forgive me if this one isn't as great I'm still getting used to drawing sauropods.
