Hyeanodon horridus




I'm not pleased with the rendering,
but I like the personality.

My music buddy Paul says he looks like Benji. This was done for the magazine Prehistoric Times, as was the Pterygotus --

I've recently resubscribed and am planning on sending in my new material as I produce it.

The skeleton was drawn in pencil and then darkened and manipulated in Photoshop. The reconstruction was done using an extra-fine Penstix (a disposable India ink felt pen intended for technical drawings) that was running out of ink. As a result it gave the hair a bit of a fade. Then I colored that in Photoshop. I'm going to need to work on rendering fur and feathers...
