Touch up of a piece I did back in 2017, for SVP, retouched in early 2021
"A large young male Aucasaurus garridoi issues a low early morning grumble out into the air.
In paleoart, I see a trend of depicting animals as these perfect models and maybe with a few scars here and there's. in reality, animals, especially large carnivores tend to have battle scars, drool, and deformities quite often. Even plants on their face or in their drool from their prey items. I try and depict these animals as naturally as possible and would like to see more of it in art."
