Here are some baby Pachycephalosaurus for JurassicJune. Some may be more familiar with the name “Dracorex” but it seems unlikely that it was a separate species at the moment.

I know Dracorex already exists as a separate species in film canon (or at least as far as Jurassic World Evolution is concerned), but I liked this idea too much to give up on it. Enjoy!

Forgot to upload these the other night, this is a pair of Morrison JP dinos I finished the day of the Dominion poster drop. Enjoy!

Here are some hypothetical baby Jurassic Park hadrosaurs that pull from the film designs, fossil specimens of ParasaurolophusandHypacrosaurus, as well as general “baby” proportions the series has used before.

I won’t be doing daily uploads for Jurassic June, but some more JP ontogeny-themed drawings could be fun. Stay tuned!

Just finished this dinosaur hybrid following an art prompt by Emily Stepp and suggestions by people on Twitter. Enjoy!

Hey!

I meant to post this like a week or two ago, but apparently Tumblr doesn’t want to let me post on my preferred browser and it slipped my mind while trying to troubleshoot (still doesn’t work). 

Here’s my take on the Indominus rex from Jurassic World. Not really meant to be a “Here I Fixed Your Character” thing, just expanding on the design and the ideas from the movie in my own style. I made JW Control Room-type graphics to make it look all fancy and to help explain my thoughts while designing it. 

I unintentionally ended up kinda rolling the Indominus and Indoraptor into one, which debatably would have been for the best. 

Enjoy!

Here we are, last stop on the JP Palettes train. The Holy Grail for every JP 90′s kid. At least as far as I’ve gathered.

Hot take: Rubber “real feel” skin is super overrated. Sure, flexibility, less seams, and “skin-like” material is neat, but it’s a lot less durable, easier to break, and paint can be susceptible to peeling. Nothing lasts forever, but I feel rubber has a real short shelf life.

Enjoy!

Here’s a GIF going between the Jurassic Park and Jurassic World T. rex colorations. There’s a decent amount of discrepancies between the actual models, but these colors match up a lot better than I expected.

Hope you like it!

And, here it finally is, the last Jurassic Palettes piece. I may come back to this idea in the future but it’s so nice to finally have finished this project as originally planned.

The T. rex is my favorite dino in the series, so this one was especially fun to work on. Second to the raptors, it (understandably) gets the lion’s share of cool color schemes from the franchise.

Enjoy!

Some digitally-colored pencil sketches I did in the past week.

The Halszkaraptor’s colors are taken straight from a Spotted Shag (a species of cormorant) and the Albertosaurus is based on pieces by the artist @Toarcian on Twitter.

Here’s an extra Male T. rex, this one’s more “generic” than the others. It follows the patterning most random merch from JP3 used (lollipop holders, things like that). There is a specific source, props to anyone who can guess what it is.

The Male Tyrannosaurs are done! T. rex has some killer color schemes across the franchise and there’s so much good stuff to pull from. I know there are still some iconic rexes left unaddressed by this post, rest assured they’ll be in the next (and, for the moment, final) piece.

Happy Holidays!

Some World of Kong sketches. I have this book, but I’ve really been itching to read it again.

King Kong 2005 will always be more interesting to me than the new one. Fight me.

This wee bab comes to us from the unreleased Night Hunters line, a follow up to the (surprisingly released) Chaos Effect line. There are like 2 promo pics I could find, and color schemes were conflicting. So, why not both?
