In this case, I wanted each of the four animals to stand out clearly. I used the effect of simultaneous contrast to separate the four different genera of chasmosaurians from each other. Titanoceratops is clearly separated from the Chasmosaurus behind, both on the lower jaw as well as the top jaw and the front of the brow ridge. In fact, the toning in the lower jaw of the Titanoceratops quickly changes from light to dark to adapt to the changing tonal values of the animal behind.
One of the most distinguishing features of each ceratopsian is the bony frill on the back of the head. In total, the heads of these animals were massive – among the largest of any land animals that ever lived. These large surfaces potentially provided a large area for embellishment with scales, horns, skin textures, and colours.
You can order the original or a print using the drop-down menu below. $90 is added by default for packaging and shipping so please contact me directly if you are in Calgary (I will deliver myself within Calgary, so no $90 charge).
II had the actual drawing framed, with a grey matte, very dark grey frame, and anti-reflection glass. So, purchase of the actual drawing will include this frame. Purchase of a print, will not by default include a frame, but if you wish for me to send you a framed print, please contact me to discuss. The photographs below are of the framed original.
