Description I really tried to think of a dinosaur with some relation to the month of August. Augustinia was too on the nose. August... Emperor Augustus of Rome... Roman nose... Ah, Gryposaurus works, right?

The name Gryposaurus notabilis means "notable hooked-nose lizard, which is very fitting! G. notabilis is a hadrosaur dinosaur that opted for a arched nasal bone instead of an intricate crest like many of its relatives. 

This is my new favorite piece I've done! Obviously, not a lot of effort was put into the background, but I hope to really improve in that area in the future. 

As always, I attempt to keep my proportions as accurate as possible to current research. However, I intentionally draw in a cartoony style, so my art will never be 100% scientifically accurate. Plus, hadrosaur feet are confusing, man...

Thank you for stopping by!
