Jurassic Park 1

This is an idea I have been playing with for quite some time now but I never really managed to make a decent drawing…
The basic idea behind this is that the frog DNA used to fill the gaps in the dinosaurs’ DNA resulted in grotesque giant frog-monsters rather than actual dinosaurs. All the inhabitants of Jurassic Park share traits with both frogs and the Dinosaurs they were spliced with. They still have to lay their eggs in water to prevent them from drying and their offspring goes through an aquatic stage not too unlike tadpoles.

The skull above belongs to TITANOCERATOPHRYS, a hulking giant created from the DNA of titanoceratops spliced with the DNA of the Argentine horned frog. Standing up to 3.5 meters at the shoulder, it dwarfs both its gene donors. Their tadpoles can grow up to 2 meters in length before they go ashore and lose their tail and gills. Despite their fearsome appearance, titanoceratophrys are fairly docile creatures as long as don’t feel threatened.
