Creatures Frozen in Stone

Decided to try and create some promotional images for the blog. Here is one attempt based on the skull of a Dracorex hogwartsia. The pictures were taken by me and shown in this older posting: http://louisvillefossils.blogspot.com/2009/11/dracorex-hogwartsia.html

The real fossil plus professional artwork featuring it can be found in Indianapolis at the Children's Museum of Indianapolis.

Adobe Illustrator was used to create image. Did not seem to work, so pursuing other designs now.
