I haven't submitted much dino art for a while, so I uploaded this depiction of theropod family life that I drew last year; however, I decided to color it this week. The picture portrays a mother troodonid dinosaur removing termites from a mound using a stick, meanwhile her hatchlings eagerly watch with the anticipation of a quick scrumptious snack. The use of a stick prevents soldier termites from attacking the dinosaurs as they chow down on worker nestmates. Since Troodontidae represent perhaps the smartest of cretaceous beasts, I like to believe that some troodons are akin to some clever birds we see today and learned to use tools for finding food.

Hope you like this pic, I experimented a little more with lighting effects.

Enjoy,

Blair

It looks really nice! I'm digging the colors and textures used and I think the babies are getting some enjoyment out of their mother's efforts.

Excellent job!

This is so awesome. Your are the only other person I've met who had this same idea as me. I'm actually writing a book about it.

Added to favorites.
