[QUOTE]Originally posted by Tyrannohotep: [QB] Some more old favorites... [IMG]https://i2.wp.com/brandonpilchersart.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Raptors-on-the-Run.jpg?fit=1700%2C736[/IMG] A pack of dromaeosaurids rushes through the Cretaceous jungle on the hunt for their next meal. Dromaeosaurids, better known as “raptors”, are the family of meat-eating dinosaurs that includes the famous Velociraptor and Deinonychus. They are recognizable for the enlarged sickle-shaped talons on their hind feet, which the raptors may have used to puncture prey while pinning it down and savaging it with their teeth and foreclaws. And, as members of the theropod subgroup known as the maniraptorans, most if not all of them would have been feathered! [IMG]https://i1.wp.com/brandonpilchersart.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Paradise-Lost.jpg?fit=1700%2C736[/IMG] 66 million years ago in South America, at the very end of the Cretaceous Period, a pair of titanosaurian sauropods look up from the jungle canopy to witness the biggest shooting star they have ever witnessed. Little can they fathom that the verdant paradise they call home is about to be lost in the upcoming catastrophe. The dinosaurs here are based on the Dreadnoughtus schrani, a South American titanosaur from the Late Cretaceous that may have been the heaviest dinosaur yet discovered. Its maximum weight would have been around 42 tons. [IMG]https://i2.wp.com/brandonpilchersart.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Wrestling-the-Savanna-King.jpg?fit=740%2C925[/IMG] The king of the savanna has met his match in this contest of leonine brawn and ferocity against human cunning and agility! In other words, I wanted to channel my inner Edgar Rice Burroughs by drawing a chick wrestling a lion. It’s the sort of simple, yet timeless and high-concept theme that is just plain fun to illustrate. [IMG]https://i0.wp.com/brandonpilchersart.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Accolade-from-the-Kentake-1-scaled.jpg?fit=740%2C925?v=1624302398[/IMG] The Kentake of Kush delivers an accolade to one of her finest soldiers, as represented by her tapping a sword onto his shoulder. Think of it as her way of knighting him. You might recognize this as being based on the classic painting “The Accolade” by the British artist Edmund Leighton, which had a medieval European queen knighting one of her soldiers. What I wanted to do here was to take a classic piece of European artwork and put an African spin on its theme. [IMG]https://i1.wp.com/brandonpilchersart.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Rite-of-Thunder.jpg?fit=740%2C925[/IMG] Back in the earliest days of the human species, the rainy season is about to descend upon the plains of Africa. Within a sacred circle of megaliths, this tribal priestess is performing a rite to placate the capricious deity of lightning and thunder. Credit for this artwork’s inspiration goes to the music track “Thundertribe” by the pseudonymous artist "Paleowolf", whose specialty is making music based on prehistoric times. [IMG]https://i1.wp.com/brandonpilchersart.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Cleopatra-Preparing-for-War.jpg?fit=740%2C925[/IMG] Cleopatra VII, the last Queen of Ptolemaic Egypt, prepares for an upcoming war by striping and spotting her face with ritual paint. Maybe what she’s gearing up for is the Battle of Actium in 31 BC, where her fleet and that of Mark Antony will clash with Octavian’s. [/QB][/QUOTE]
