Dimetrodon - Dinosaur prompt #2⁠
⁠
This apex predator lived around 40 to 50 million years before the dinosaur, making it a stem-mammal which is an early relative of current mammals. It's iconic sail on it's back is most likely used for temperature regulation and mating displays. They are semi-aquatic living in lush, swampy areas. It weights around 550 pounds when full grown and can span up to 15 feet. ⁠

Kentrosaurus - Dinosaur prompt #1⁠
⁠
This small herbivorous dinosaur is known for it's long sharp spikes and smaller plates along the back. It was highly flexible and could rotate on it's hind legs or sit back on it's talil as defense against predators. The front legs are significantly shorter than it's back legs, allowing it to move only 3 mph. Even thought its related to the stegosaurus, it is much smaller in size with much longer tail spikes. ⁠

DINOSAUR PROMPT LIST⁠
⁠
Last year I went out on a whim and created so fun dinosaur and mushroom designs exclusively for Art in the Park. It wasn't meant to be a repeat illustration prompt. It was such a huge success that I've brought it back again! This time I'm adding purple and a bit of crystals. I loved what I did last year, but it felt necessary to switch things up!⁠
⁠
Each week I will be posting the following dinosaurs. Which one is your favorite!?!⁠
⁠
Kentrosaurus⁠
Dimetrodon⁠
Styracosaurus⁠
Apatosaurus⁠
Tyrannosaurus⁠
Pterodactyl⁠
