Tiouraren Titans
This spread sketch is from autumn of last year, depicting the sauropod Jobaria and the megalosaur Afrovenator. Both of these animals are known from the Tiouraren Formation in Niger, dating back to the mid-Jurassic (though previously believed to be from the early Cretaceous) and both are unusually complete dinosaurs. In retrospect, I'm not wild about the colors I gave the rearing Jobaria in the background and the legs on the Afrovenator look a little to spindly, but I'm otherwise happy with it. I decided the reverse the traditional image of a predator pursuing prey since I very much doubt a 1-ton, 25-foot long Afrovenator would be able to bring an adult Jobaria to the ground.
