I don't think this really needs a description... it's a tyrannosaur about to chomp an ornithomimid (obviously), in Late Cretaceous Mongolia. I do believe there is a similar drawing by Bakker in The Dinosaur Heresies, but my copy is in Australia. If anyone has a copy it would be great if you could send a scan/photo of the drawing to me (john.a.conway@gmail.com). I want to see how it compares.

This painting is actually ANIMOOTED, but dA's pathetic video size won't show that to any great effect, so here's the still version.

Beautifully executed! Love the attention to detail: te leaves on the dground, the trees and the dinosaurs of course.
Also love the color pallette, the tiny hints of orange and red, very cool.

When I came upon this I had a SQUEE. I'm writing a story about dinosaurs that have both gallimimus' and tarbosaurus'. They never interact, other than the gallimimus herd running away once or twise, but still, I'm geek-ily enthralled. Resreaching dinosaurs to make a convincing story is hard work, man. It's a good thing I'm interested or I'll never get it done.

Maybe it would be more realistic if it was Alioramus attacking Gallimimus. Tarbosaurus would've had a tough time catching an ornithomimid and besides, it needed prey yielding more meat, like Saurolophus. Also, I wouldn't expect to see cursorial forms in the middle of a forest. I thought they preferred open country. Great art though. :)

Odd bunch of criticisms. Have you been out there and timed 2-tonne tyrannosaurs vs 0.5-tonne ornithomimids? I suspect they were much more closely matched for speed than you imply. Secondly, this is clearly open forest, I doubt that large dinosaurs stayed clear of trees altogether! Also, are suggesting that predators don't prey upon smaller animals? Because that's absurd.
