#majungasaurus
Dinovember Day 20.
ARapetosaurus krauseiand Majungasaurus crenatissimus engaged in interspecific (different species) combat in the midst of a drying marsh.
I haven’t done that many drawings of these two particular animals, so this was a lot of fun. Abelisaurs always have such bizarre and interesting anatomy, CarnotaurusandMajungasaurusespecially.And of course, titanosaurs are just awesome.
Considering that we don’t have any adult specimens of Rapetosaurus, I was a little unsure of how big, at least in terms of height, to make it here. Ultimately, I went for a height that was a little bit more modest, though I probably should have made it taller.

Been sort of busy the past two weeks or so and haven’t been able to post unfortunately. But, it’s Dinovember and it would be a shame if I let this pass me by. While I kinda missed the ball on doing a drawing everyday this month, I figured I would take this opportunity to post throughout the month when I can and do some anatomy practice with stuff I’m not great at/familiar with.
Here are the left arms of some theropods I reconstructed off of pictures of skeletal mounts and arm bones that I found online. I referenced some basic theropod musculature pictures online to get the build and major muscles in, and looked at bare chicken wings, eagle talons, and crocodile feet for texture. The VelociraptorandT. rex are missing any possible heavy feather coatings as these are meant to emphasize form and musculature.
Doing all the tiny scales on Allo and Majunga were super fun and not tedious or painstaking at all. They reminded me of why I don’t like to texture my drawings very often. But I guess I should still get in some practice doing texture anyway.
A bust of Rajasaurus. Went more artsy with this, with a color scheme based on what I gather is the fashion of Indian maharajahs/royalty (or possibly past uniforms) and a textile backdrop. I actually really like the look of this one.
Also, Todd Marshall made this thing look way bigger than it is. Like, it would be just above eye level with you. It’s only slightly disappointing.
It’s just a Majungasaurus-eat-Majungasaurus world……
