Two new dinosaur species have been revealed recently. Both are therapods, which is awesome because carnivores are much rarer than herbivores. One of the species, Kryptops (or 'old hidden face'--you gotta love dino names!) had a snout covered in beak-like texture. More evidence that these fellas turned into birds!

Chades Challenge VIII: Armored giraffes
Man, giraffes are tough to draw. I'm definitely going to need another week of this challenge. Check out giraffes from Leo Matsuda, Steve MacLeod and Moro Rogers as well!

Yahoo movies has posted the trailer for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, and though the footage looks cool, the trailer itself is pretty lousy. How do you open up an Indiana Jones trailer with anything other than John Williams? Blasphemy!

Vi told me to draw a glowing serpent. This guy's hardly glowing, but he sure is serpentine. Unfortunately for me 50% is still an 'F'.

CHADES CHALLENGE VIII: Armored Giraffes
Couldn't find a good image of a giraffe in knight's armor, but you get the idea. Post your art this friday!

The wise time traveller triple checks his calculations so as to not apparate in the midst of a Camarosaur stampede.

This started out as a drawing of a shaolin monk. I can't tell whether Robin is angry at the loss of Batman or if he's finally defeated the caped crusader and claimed the cowl for his own.

He's out. And I'm back.

It just doesn't get any cooler than DINOSAUR MUMMIES!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
A lot of folks are still having Halloween parties tonight, so this technically isn't late. I hope everyone had/has an awesome Halloween. A group of folks at work went as the Clue crew and invited me to be their avaricious Mr. Green. Sometimes the best answer to 'Who dunnit?' is 'All of the above.'
