Pliosaurus funkei

The funkier Pliosaurus. She had to look super fierce, the scars and black "bandit mask" were added to make her appear more menacing after the first draft looked like a (just as murderous) cetacean. Still, I love how it turned out.

Here is a another piece of art commissioned by SeaCity Museum's Dinosaur Encounter in Southampton, UK, which you can find out more about here: seacitymuseum.co.uk/?page_id=3…

I produced a series of 8 realistic digital paintings for the exhibit, which are used in an "Is it a dinosaur?" interactive display. There are also 4 cartoony dinosaur illustrations I did and a "Build your own dinosaur" display, which uses a bunch of magnetic dinosaur parts I designed that you can arrange to make your own dinosaur.

Seriously, if you are interested in dinosaurs and can make it to Southampton the whole exhibit is really good and is worth a visit. A lot of my friends from the Vertebrate Palaeontology department at Southampton Uni were involved, too! Well done everyone involved!
