Catching up with the dailies!

So far still haven't failed surprisingly, however I've been just so exhausted these past few weeks that I couldn't post the drawings. Getting some good brush pen practice though, it's fun to skip the sketch and go straight in with the pen

March 2: Limusaurus Inextricabilis (Promptlist)

I didn't know about this one before this challenge! I wanted to try and give it those colourful arms that carnotaurus is sometimes depicted with for some speculative fun. These watercolour pens I'm using are an absolute pain to use but we soldier on ✨

Day 61 of DDD! The Limusaurus! Its a very silly guy and- wait, what do you mean this guy's family is the cousins of abelisaurs? What

[makairodonx]

Two Limusaurus looking for ferns to eat and a Guanlong chasing a large, beetle-like insect both scamper past the massive, pillar-like legs of a Mamenchisaurus sinocanadorum browsing on the leaves of a conifer 160 million years ago in what will one day be the Shishugou Formation of northwestern China.

A male Stegosaurus stenops leaves the edge of a water-hole to reunite with his thirsty mate and offspring after they’ve both endured a long trek across the sand dunes to reach it, 155 million years ago in what is now the Morrison Formation of Colorado.

My 25 years of palaeoart chronology…

Isotope studies show that juvenile Limusaurus were meat-eaters but adults were plant-eaters. This is from DINOSAUR BEHAVIOUR (2023), by Prof Michael Benton (published by Princeton University Press).

Reconstruction of the noasaurid Kiyacursor longipes from the Early Cretaceous of the Kemerovo Region (Russia). The partial skeleton of this dinosaur was found in 2023 at the Shestakovo 1 locality. It consists of the left scapulocoracoid, humeri, cervical and trunk vertebrae and ribs, and most of the articulated hind limbs. In addition, a partial cervical vertebra was attributed to Kiyacursor. The holotype could have reached 2.5 meters in length, but histology of the leg bones showed that it was not fully grown. The hind legs are long, with a very narrow metatarsus, which indicates the ability to run quickly. Unlike other cursorial theropods, Kiyacursor has a highly developed third (middle) metatarsal and reduced second and fourth. The humeri are very small. Due to the lack of a skull, it is difficult to judge the diet of the animal. Kiyacursor is part of a fauna characterized by the presence of relics from the Jurassic period.

I love finding out about a potential dinosaur-making scam while staying up all night on Twitter.

[ID: A square image in a similar style to weight loss scam ads on the internet. Text in three different sans serif fonts and five colors (black, red, blue, green, and discord periwinkle) is interrupted in the middle with a cropped image of a quail, an arrow, and a distorted recreation of the dinosaur Limusaurus. The text reads: YOU CAN TURN A (blue) QUAIL INTO A (red) LIMUSAURUS (green) IN JUST A FEW MONTHS!!! (periwinkle) LEARN MORE ON OUR DISCORD SERVER! End ID]
