Dinosaur Zodiac Color Sketches

#10oclockart PM edition. First post in awhile - I suffer from "AADD," or "artistic attention deficit disorder." I've decided to start a new project in the middle of all my others involving theropods and the signs of the Zodiac. Here are some preliminary color sketches:

Starting from top left - Aries (represented by Achillobator); Taurus (with Carnotaurus); Gemini (Geminiraptor); Cancer (Conchoraptors and crab); Leo (Tyrannosaurus rex); Virgo (Alectrosaurus or "unmarried lizard"); Libra (Gorgosaurus libratus); Scorpio (Skorpiovenator); Sagittarius (Sinovenator); Capricorn (Ceratosaurus); Aquarius (Pelecanimimus); Pisces (Ichthyovenator).

Ginger Sketch

Lambeosaurus lambei Speed Painting

Hey, it's before 10pm - I suppose this counts as a #10oclockart entry!

According to a pamphlet distributed by the Bureau of Land Management, Lambeosaurus lambei is supposedly known in Alaska from a fossilized partial upper jaw and some teeth. However, after an email discussion with Dr. Anthony Fiorillo of the Dallas Museum of Natural History, it is probably safe to assume that the remains were probably misidentified and, in fact, belong to the more ubiquitous Alaskan hadrosaur, Edmontosaurus.
