Okay so in color theory, we had this assignment to paint thirteen panels each with a different color harmony. This sounded tedious (spoiler: yes it was); so in order to combat that, I decided that I would paint dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals. 

Then I discovered we needed something for the backs of the panels. ‘Well,’ I said to my self, the wondering sparkle of ambition and naivete in my eye. ‘I’ll do skeletals for the backs and get bonus points!’

And then I had a presentation. And another presentation. And two twelve-page papers come due. And the rough draft for my thesis. Somehow, I forgot about the skeletals. 

And then the panels were due on Monday.

Moral of the story: doing fourteen skeletals in two days is not a fun game, don’t try to play it. What is sleep? I don’t think I remember.

Anyway, enjoy some of the ones that I don’t actually hate. They are mostly coelurosaurs wow gee no one is surprised. (Also, surprise gorgonopsid!)
