Originally shared by Jonathan Tweet Tonight, my "Lethal Damage" 13th Age campaign draws to a close. Meanwhile, the guys are work have talked me into running a couple D&D sessions for them. That was the day 13th Age was announced, and they're happy to play 13th Age instead. That will be my "Great Center" campaign, based in the imperial capital of Axis, the center of the world. It's my opportunity to explore the setting from yet another perspective.
I'm trying to figure out the artist's views on dinosaur skin/fur from his blog, how much of it is speculative and what's informed by science. Wish I could find it all summarized in one place. I guess I'm like a decade behind on the state of paleoart.
ReplyDeleteThe thing with some of people I've been following lately is that they're not afraid to be pretty speculative. Like here, there's no hard evidence of fuzzy adult T-Rexes, but it's seeming like more and more like just about every theropod late Jurassic on is showing up with evidence of feathers, so why not paint it?
ReplyDeleteFor a long time the refrain was "only draw what the fossils show," so you got reconstructions where the skin looks stretched over muscle and bone.
