Titolo - Gigantoraptor
Tratto - Matita B
Colore - Digitale
Software - Adobe Photoshop CS
Hardware - Macintosh PowerPC G5
Originale - Matita su carta - 42x29,7
Data - Marzo 2009

Questa è una tavola pubblicata sul 5° volume della serie Dinosauri di Jaca Book/Abbeville Press.

Gigantoraptor erlianensis, attualmente il più grande Oviraptoride conosciuto, lungo oltre 8 metri e alto 3.5 metri al bacino, era diffuso in Mongolia. La scoperta di questo teropode pone diversi interrogativi sia sugli Oviraptoridi sia sull'ambiente della Mongolia del tardo cretaceo. Per esempio, di cosa poteva nutrirsi un animale simile? Secondo me l'ipotesi probabile è che – vivendo in un ambiente palustre, forse salmastro – si nutrisse di grossi molluschi cefalopodi o di grossi crostacei.
Sullo sfondo, il Tarbosaurus che ha messo in fuga i due Gigantoraptor.

La tavola è stata un piacere da realizzare, e ritengo che sia una delle mie migliori prove.

This painting is on the 5th volume of the series "Dinosaurs", published by Jaca Book/Abbeville Press.

Gigantoraptor erlianensis, till now the biggest known Oviraptoridae: more than 8m/26ft long, lived in Mongolia in Late Cretaceous. The discover of this theropod raises some questions about Oviraptosaurs and about cretaceous Mongolia. For example: what does such an animal ate? In my opinion is likely that – living it in a marshy environment, perhaps brackish – it fed with big shellfish or big crabs.
On the foreground, the Tarbosaurus who put the two Gigantoraptor in flight.

Making this painting was a pleasure, and I think that is one of my best results ever.

Why couldnt they simply be herbivores? oviraptorans lack binocular vision, so they certainly weren't chasing anything.

~Kronosaurus82 Jan 14, 2011 Professional Artist

You may be right. I think that the assumption that Gigantoraptor wasn't herbivore comes from the idea that the other Oviraptoridae were not herbivores.
But we should consider that not every "predator" chases its preys, and that not every predator has binocular vision (even amongst theropods).

~Pristichampsus Jan 14, 2011 Professional General Artist

I know that part, true, torvosaurus doesnt have binocular vision. The funny part is, that would mean the animal would be turning and cocking it's head just like a bird, which would be hilarious.
