Animal Protein Supplement: Tasty Dromaeosaurs

“Animal Protein Supplement: Tasty Dromaeosaurs”

Edmontosaurus regalis, Acheroraptor temertyorum. An acrylic painting of a male Edmonotosaurus snacking on a young Acheroraptor he had found in the bushes.

The first in the series of some classically herbivorous dinosaurs supplementing their diet with animal protein. This is a phenomenon a lot of people seem to be unaware of given how often people commented on the preliminary sketch of this with, “But Edmontosaurus is a herbivore.”

I’m thinking about emulating a style similar to Morten Solberg’s wildlife paintings for this series.

Completed in March 2022.

Next up is a Protoceratops pair ganging up on a young tyrannosaurid.

Done using acrylics, color pencils and Photoshop 2022.
