The ornate horns of #Lokiceratops point to evolutionary insights phys.org/news/2024-06-ornate-h

Lokiceratops rangiformis gen. et sp. nov. from the #Campanian Judith River Formation of #Montana reveals rapid regional radiations and extreme #endemism within centrosaurine #dinosaurs peerj.com/articles/17224/

"This new #dinosaur pushes the envelope on bizarre #ceratopsian headgear, sporting the largest frill horns ever seen in a ceratopsian"

Furcatoceratops: Beast of the Week prehistoricbeastoftheweek.blog #paleoart by Christopher DiPiazza

"#Furcatoceratops had two horns growing from above its eyes that are quite close together, basically parallel to each other. This is unusual compared to the brow horns of other #ceratopsian #dinosaurs, which tend to grow angled away from each other. Furcatoceratops also had a series of small, triangular horns growing from the perimeter of its frill."

Ceratopsians of Late Cretaceous arid Asia: Udanoceratops (left) and a couple of Protoceratops (right). 4 hr concept sketch, exploring ideas

I don’t really like the composition (I did not rough sketch it first) but once I started to work on it but it was a good opportunity to explore ideas of how to make something like this work better in a future illustration

After talking with @colectivopixel , I went down a rabbit hole of experimenting with negative space, testing how its variation affects the perception of low resolution pixel art. Here are a couple of before and after examples: A blue (don't ask me why) ceratopsian dinosaur and a sad Homer looking at the stars.

Any thoughts are welcome.
