Saurgust day 21, Aeolosaurus rionegrinus.

Saurgust day 20, South Island giant moa. Couldn't think of any fun patterning so went a lil heavier on the texturing for the body today.

Saurgust day 18, grey crowned crane. Apparently I didn't put this in the queue so, whoops. Here it is a day late. Promise I drew it yesterday.

Saurgust day 19, Morrosaurus antarcticus. So often I have some concept of what I want the patterns to look like, only to get completely derailed somewhere along the line. Hm.

Saurgust day 17, Gigantspinosaurus sichuanensis. Really big shoulder spike which did not want to cooperate with this angle.

Saurgust day 16, Bali myna. Rare case of a bird I've seen before, although in a zoo. Striking birds, very beautiful.

Saurgust day 15, Herrerasaurus ischigualastensis. Basically every depiction I could find of these guys has them scaled, but why not fluffy? I think they deserve a lil fluff.

Saurgust day 14, blue-crowned hanging parrot. No female version this time because slightly shifting the colors is a huge hassle for little return.

Saurgust day 13, Natovenator polydontus. Might've gotten too carried away with the wing markings and overcomplicated things for myself. Might've.

Saurgust day 12, Abyssinian ground hornbill.Ground hornbills are among my favorite birds, they're so incredibly cool.

Saurgust day 11, Triceratops horridus. The one, the only, the real classic.

Saurgust day 10, Copepteryx hexeris.

Saurgust day 9, magnificent riflebird. They really are quite magnificent... when seen from the front. The back, not so much.

Saurgust day 8, Talarurus plicatospineus. My greatest enemy... ankylosaurs...

Saurgust day 7, burrowing owl. Or as we say in Dutch, a rabbit owl! Cute little guys.

Saurgust day 6, Mamenchisaurus sinocanadorum. That's a lot of neck.

Saurgust day 5, vogelkop owlet-nightjar. Very much improv'd the back markings because I had little time and couldn't find any good references. Probably should've made the stripes smaller, anyhow.
