I like how the fish is about to snatch up the bird and the bird doesn't even seem to have a clue.

I've seen the Walking With Dinosaurs - Sea Monsters version of this. Inside of it attacking while it's prey is on the surface, the Xiphactinus attacks the Hesperornis while it's underwater, looking for fish. I have to say, the contrast of how you draw these paleoart pictures is astounding, even when I was drawing dinosaurs back when I was younger, I used to have trouble drawing these sort of things, but now, I write more then draw, so I've sort of gone rusty since then. But I'm still a dinosaur/prehistoric maniac to the coreXD lol. I wish you good luck in future Paleoart. I salute you.

your knowledge of prehistoric animals astounds me just as much as how well you draw them.

Sweet shot. Reminds me of the Jaws novel cover. Sweet drawing.

I like it a lot, though the perspective is different and I don't know if you get the sense of how big the fish really was. For anyone who doesn't know, it was a really monster fish, getting up to 5m (~16 ft) in length (as suggested by this [link] )

Yes I read about it and saw the fossils in scomparison. I first thought to illustrate it with a swimming dinosaur, but then decided that Hesperornis-type of bird would be more suitable.

Hey, you wanna seem some really prehistoric monster fish, try Megaladon.

Poor poor little birdy.
Oh well!! S'till prettifull!! I dig the detailing in the water, like the light rays and all. *nods* And the subtle bubbling.

Njoo, on aikas haastavaa hommaa... tämä nyt oli nopea työ, mutta parit aikasemmat (jotka tuolla galleriassa on) on ollu jo vähän enemmän ajatusta vaativia.

Piirtäisit joskus jotain tämmöistä:

Noi on jotenkin outoja, en tiedä, onko ne ällöttäviä vai kiehtovia. Vähän sama juttu kuin meduusojen kanssa, ne on toisaalta kauhean kiintoisia, mutta toisaalta taas ...limaklimppejä.
