Convoy Surrounded 1995

In Dinotopia, it is unsafe to travel through Tyrannosaurus territory, for these meat-eaters do not live peaceably with
their neighbors. In this image, a custom-designed suit of armor protects a Brachiosaur bus, which is escorted by two
Styracosaurus with spiked frills. The artist's limited palette of deep warm tones, accented with a few touches of red,
emphasizes a sense of drama and danger in the scene.
