Description

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 plant patternon 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.

This is excellent! I very much appreciate the small imperfections of the animal, like scars and dirt.

I noticed you've put this under CC3.0. I would love to add this to the Wikipedia article for Aucasaurus (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aucasaur…), but the Deviant Art watermark is preventing me from doing this. If you are ok with it, is there a way I could grab a version of this image without the watermark?

Thanks for your time. :)
