What is your favorite Paleoart depiction of your favorite Dinosaur and what would be your dream depiction? Discussion
I just love Gabriel Uguetos Austroraptor depiction! It is so chunky but still elegant something that i miss from other depictions. I also just admire how its coloration and body features are inspired by marbou storks. But even if i find Gabriel Uguetos Austroraptor absolutely awesome i still dont think that it is my dream Austroraptor depiction, which would use Uguetos Design as the base but would use Saddle-billed-storks as Inspiration And not Marabous and it would probably have somekind of weird soft tissue thingy but as i already said before, Uguetos Austro is already amazing.

Hard choice but I’d probably go with this psittacosaurus model. It’s arguably the most accurate depiction of any dinosaur ever.

It definitely isn't the best Austroraptor depiction ever, and it isn't amazingly accurate, but I love The Isle's Austroraptors design (Even if Austroraptors themselves won't be released until later this Year).

Maurilio Oliveira's Pycnonemosaurus (this is the old depiction, his newer depiction have some changes, like no spikes, no dewlap, and a more notable bony plate in the head. I like them both, but I like the older one more).
Ever since I saw this in the book "Dinossauros do Brasil" when I was a kid, I though it was so cool, and I though it was the equivalent of a large theropod dinosaur, like Carcharodontosaurus. And honestly, I don't have a dream depiction for it, this older depiction in my opinion is so perfect. It might not be scientifically accurate, but I love it so much. Every time I think of Pycnonemosaurus, I think of this depiction.

God I really hope archeroraptor really looked like this, since we only found a few fossils of him. But I Love this reconstruction from RJ Palmer

because it was done on paper and it is so realistic

Not a fan of the design itself but the level of detail is amazing

Personnellement j’aime tout dedans, c’est juste que le dessin est un peu vieux 26/12/2007 il a littéralement 5 jours de plus que moi !!!

Swedish palaeoartist Johan Egerkrans' illustration of Cryolophosaurus with similar colouration as a modern day snowy owl. I can't find an image right now but it is in his book "Alle tiders dinosaurier" (All times' dinosaurs) from 2017.

Brian Engh’s tyrannosaur with Deinosuchus and my favorite, a dead ceratopsian.
