Darter WIP and unusable vorga headby ~Kazanlak10

Digital Art / Drawings / Animals

WIP in progress for the re-done dwarf ceratopsian "savannah darter" (i'm going to alter the name i think). I made the limbs longer and more gracile on this version, as well as shortened the tail a bit. this thing has behavior patterns like a duiker or other small antelope, often opting to hide from predators by remaining motionless in cover then dashing off when they get close. A very common prey item for skrykes.

also present is a attempt at a vorga head. I like how it came out actually, but for some reason i drew it too big to use in a full drawing. To make a complete vorga on the same scale as that head would yield a gigantic drawing larger even then my Titanosaurid...and to be honest, i don't like wrangling with MS Paint drawings of that size. So as much as I like it I'm going to have to start from scratch when I make another attempt at it.

Can't wait to see them finished. Keep up the great work!

I thought vorgas ate bones - the skull seems awfully pneumatic for that. Or have I confused them with Simon Roy's stuff?

~Kazanlak10 Dec 18, 2011

The skull drawing is mostly based on Conchoraptor just to give me something to work off of, but it probably should be beefed up a bit when I do a final version. They do have a pretty powerful bite, though they aren't really bone-crunching specialists per se, they are better at it then other theropods.

For some reason, the vorga looks like it's saying "OH HAI GUYZ

When not eating victims alive, he's a pretty cordial guy.

Looking good mate. May I suggest that the integument of the ceratopsian include irregular larger scales with the smaller scales arranged around them. This same pattern is seen in Psittacosaurus, Chasmosaurus, Triceratops and seemingly the "Dueling Dinosaurs" ceratopsian.

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll incorporate that into the finished version.
