explains it better than me: megabass22.deviantart.com/art/…

I actually drew this after I saw his submission.

Basically this is a really speculative portrait of the infamous ichnogenus, Eubrontes. Well, I based the proportions of the head and the shape of the overall profile on Liliensternus. Another European Dilophosaur which is native to Germany. And it may have been the culprit behind the Eubrontes type tracks left behind in Germany and maybe even Poland. The integument is very speculative as well, but I think it looks nice 

Aside from the Non-Avians, this drawing was actually based on a really beautiful photo I saw of a Seagull. I don't know if it was taken in Sweden or if its a type of Seagull from Sweden, but I thought it would look really serene. So, I based the color scheme/feathers on that Seagull.

The only thing is the scanner took away the softness, the beauty of this piece. First it came out blue, so I had to edit it. Then it came out a bit sharp, so I had to edit it. So, my point is most of my drawings are better on paper rather than in the scanner. But I shouldn't fret, its the only way I can upload traditional art.

Keep watching for more stuff

Very nice drawing! A seagull huh, well it  turned out really beautiful

Yeah, i don´t know why, but scanners do that all the time to me as well. There are several drawings that i can´t upload due to the scanner refusing to scan them in a good way.

Nice! So, is this our Indian treader as well?
I'm planning to do some trace fossil-related work soon enough, this time for the ichnospecies Pantheraichnus bottropensis...........
I think you can guess what left those marks.

No, this is a profile of E. Giganteus, the one found in India is of E. Glenrosensis. I'm guessing some type of Prehistoric Lion

Pawprints sound just as interesting as Dinosaur foot prints probably leave more of an impression.

Mhm. I can't find any photos, but use Sci-hub to get past the paywall and you'll see pawprints:

According to Wild New World and México en la Edad de Hielo, we have pawprints of American lions.
According to Mauricio Anton, Machairodus coloradensis left some:
