You're a very talented painter :)

I love that Parasaurolophus! And the bitty Oviraptor chicks are just too adorable.

None of your art could ever have been called 'embarrassing'!

Loving your new name, too.  ;D

Your art is fantastic!  I love your application of bright colors. :D

Those are impressive! They seem to be better each time I see them.  :D

Hey Chris! Like your new name. 'bout time you incorporated your fave dino in it!

It's so overwhelmingly cool to see all these pics of yours in a row in one post. (Don't you wish you could pump them out that quick in real life? LOL!) I have a lot of faves in there, but the one that I always come back to, that sticks out in a good way, is the Pachycephalosaurus. Love the colors and the perspective of it!

Wonderful stuff here! I really like your color choices, particularly on the ceratopsians.

Palaeontologists study fossils. It's ornithologists that study dinosaurs.

I think I like the top one best. Just lovely.

(Of course, that T. rex portrait isn't bad either ;))

Thanks everybody I really appreciate all the kind words! 

Yeah strangely enough I think my favorite is a toss up between the first one (drypto scavenging a mosasaur) and the unenlagia mating display, the two oldest of this bunch.  I have another one in the works that should be pretty interesting if it turns out the way I want it to so stay tuned.

Wow, Christopher, seeing a lot of your work collected like this really opened my eyes in a new way to how good it is!  I really like the way you use color and shading.  Your art is so pleasing to look at.  It's accurate, but also very aesthetic, if that makes any sense.  Hope to see some more in the future!

The Unenlagia pair is my favourite but I like all your forest scenes, I guess it's because of the twigs in the background that look as if they were partly veiled by mist. :) Sorry, I've overlooked your thread and I didn't realize you changed your forum name. :-[

Oh Lord, won't you buy me a T-rex by Krentz? My friends all have Sideshow, I must make amends.

Wonderful paintings, Christopher :). I especially like the 'Parasaurolophus with butterflies' idea.
Was the Kaprosuchus inspired by Safari or vice versa :)?

Thanks guys!  Yes I used the kaprosuchus safari toy to help out with the perspective.
