Description
A plateosaurus stands on a large rock on the shore of an ancient lake. This bipedal dinosaur leans forward to rest its hands on the ground as it looks out across the water. It has dark brown and orange scaly skin and a row of spikes lines its spine. A coniferous forest lines the lake, and puffy clouds fill the sky.
Even for dinosaurs, this plateosaurus is a truly ancient species. It lived in what is now Europe during the late Triassic period over 200 million years ago. It is described as a prosauropod and was likely related to the more well known sauropod dinosaurs such as diplodocus and brachiosaurus.
Though I've depicted it on all fours, the plateosaur was actually a bipedal dino. I've just depicted him hunched over for a bit of drama as if it sees something threatening on the water.
Thanks for looking!

I love the scene and perspective! I thought I would have outgrown dinosaurs by now, but I still find them fascinating every time I see one. ;) Great work as usual Daniel. l/f
