Description
A slightly whimsical drawing of a hatching protoceratops done with colored pencil ink and watercolor.I also did a sculpture of this guy , which looks very similar to this burrito-like figure.
A few years after we sold about a zillion of these protoceratops sculptures, scientists discovered that the famous fossil eggs I had based this sculpture on were actually oviraptor eggs. Oops.

I've always wanted one of these guys and the Maiasaura. Any chance for more dinos in the future?

Probably not but ya never now. I feel stupid making whimsical dinos when there are such magnificent realistic sculptures on the market!

Don't. You have a spectacular talent that I've rarely seen anywhere else. I wish there were more Windstones here in Colorado. I've only come across them twice, both in pawn shops (the latter of which I snagged them up immediately).

I drew this with colored pencil, and used a bit of white gauche paint to make the white highlights. I did this so long ago I hardly remember!

I drew the details with colored pencil over the watercolor.

Yeah that was the fossil oviraptor mother brooding her eggs that oviraptor was assumed at first to have died stealing! It was then discovered through cat scan that it was instead a case of a true mother dieing to protect her babies! Anyways I'm sure protoceratops eggs weren't too different in shape. This picture is so cute., wish I could buy the sculpture, but alas no money

After rearing reptiles for 10+ years, Ive come to realize that most reptile eggs are leathery, unlike a chicken/bird egg.

However the closest living relatives to dinosaurs are actually birds and in fact, birds are even highly advanced theropods dinosaurs.
If dinosaurs today do have hard egg shells, it's likely, that dinosaurs also had hard egg shells back then.

That is why I used fossil evidence to base this sculpture on, I was trying to be somewhat accurate. The protoceratops became famous because it was the first species that had fossil evidence of brittle, hard eggs. Then they turned out to be from another type of dino! So, who knows what real protoceratops eggs were like!

Protoceratops is one of my favorite dinosaurs.
I love the colors and the details, very lifelike. I'm going to check the rest of your gallery! Excellent work, you're very talented!

Ohh well, they still would have had to come from eggs
He's still cute. I have one on my shelf and I really like the open mouth, though I would imagine that would have caused casting issues.
