Here’s another dual-purpose post (part 1 is here), wherein I use some of Brian Engh’s cool art to riff on a related topic (with kind permission–thanks, Brian!). Back when he was first planning his awesome Sauroposeidon life restoration, Brian sent these head studies: {.aligncenter .size-full .wp-image-3160 loading=“lazy” attachment-id=“3160” permalink=“http://svpow.com/2010/12/13/pimp-my-pod-2-haids/benghbrachioreconrough1/”
These are happy times for me. Dinosaur rap god and burgeoning paleoartist Brian Engh, AKA The Historian Himself, has finished a new life restoration of Sauroposeidon . Here’s a smallish view, just to give you a taste; for the high resolution awesomeness, check out Brian’s post here.
This post is nearly three weeks late — it’s based on a piece of artwork that appeared on 25 September, and which I wanted to write about immediately.

Most people think of Janensch’s (1950b) plate VIII as being the first skeletal reconstruction of “ Brachiosaurus ” (although Janensch’s species “ Brachiosaurus ” brancai is now referred to the separate genus Giraffatitan ). And it certainly is a classic: {.size-full .wp-image-2616 aria-describedby=“caption-attachment-2616” loading=“lazy” attachment-id=“2616”
Get on over to Art Evolved and scope out the sauroponderous Sauropod Gallery. It’s brobdingnaginormous. I don’t want to seem biased, but there’s a lot of hot brachiosaurian action on display.
