Description
My contribution to this phenomenon. The idea of apatosaurine dinosaurs using their necks as weapons was just too awesome of an idea to not draw. So here you have your typical fight between a pair of Allosauruses and a old bull Apatosaurus who's been left behind the herd. Except this time, the Allosauruses are definetly not on the winning side.Technically the Apatosaurus should be using bringing his neck down on the Allosaurus rather than swinging it to the side, but lets just say for the sake of this scene that he was actually going to bellow at the blue face one and didn't notice the darker one running in. The darker one made a move to go for the neck, the old bull swung his neck to face his attacker, and momentum did the rest.

I wondor how much pain it would be to get hit in the stomach from a B.Excelsus.

Someone told me they got hit by an animatronic T. rex tail and were smacked 20 feet across the room. And that was just a gentle swing. I imagine a full out smack from B. Excelsus would prolly shatter every bone in a humans body on impact. Or something else equally devastating.

Oh, if it was its head, then you'd find yourself as a dead pile of guts sitting in Kansas.
If it was its tail, you'd be sliced in half.

Either way, you'd be dead.

A implosion would be nice.

BOOM B#TCH . GET OUT THE WAY.
This just looks amazing, however, the Apatosaurus's head looks quite...grotesque.

Yeah, the red orbital ring makes it look rather evil in a way. I imagine that would be good for going up against carnivores though. XD

That mouth though.
BLURGHAAAAAAAAAAGH.

Yeah i do have the mouth too open, that got pointed out to me after I finished it sadly. I may do another similar piece later on down the road. With less wonkyness.

It's always good to see a very accurate depiction of failed\failure hunts; most theropods always depicted as killing eating sauropods & herbivores but at the real side; these herbivores probably more than capable of killing theropods. Just like how normal time herbivores do attack modern day carnivores. Great depiction here

Yeah, sometimes it is refreshing to draw an herbivore winning for once. Most people do not give quite enough credit to just how strong they really were.

Exactly ! I only see a few artworks depicting the failed attacks and the reality of the situation. In reality most Carnivores probably killed by the very herbivores themselves
Very sorry for the late reply; I was lost my connection to deviantart

It's fine, and yeah, people tend to forget just how dangerous herbivores actually are.

I have a feeling the one on the neck would bite the throat in an instant-if only the hit was vertical....

Considering that allo's had the wind knocked out of him and probably has many broken ribs from the impact, I don't think he's going to be dong much biting. Even if he managed to get underneath to bite, it'd still be suicide. Sauropod necks were extremely muscular and probably had quite thick hide, if they were using the jaw hatchet method it'd still probably take a couple swings to do any decent damage. Plus sauropod skin was quite rough; trying to bite into it might have actually hurt.

Actually, being above would be a far better position. It seems you from being slammed into the ground by the neck.
They don't have to pull out after they land a hit with the jaw hatchet method. Once they sink their teeth in they can use further vertical movements of the neck to saw back and forth into the neck.

hrm true. But again, bear in mind this allosaurus wasn't expecting to get slammed. I don't think most creatures would be able to think so well after having the wind knocked out of them (along with some probably broken ribs). I think the Apatosaurus wins this round. The allos may come back later though, looking for revenge.

Really nice! The expression on the Apatosaur's face is fantastic

Who knows; maybe we'll find out Apatosaurs could perform three-hit combos.
Cool illustration; really love the attention to detail, esp. with the eyes and teeth!

Thanks! Yeah took forever, but totally worth it.
