I like the ones where the dinosaurs are turning to look behind them and it seems like they're doing that Tim Allen "AEUUUGGHH??" noise

There's something suspiciously specific about insisting that "There's nothing prehistoric about our accommodations"

You've got the indeterminate species, weirdly human posture, and abstracted impact

^^^we probably already had this but i really like the moody composition (wildings, the fancy decor and bookshop in shrewsbury when i was a kid, sold of a lot of prints with this feel, tho not this exact subject matter, which wouldn't go wide for another two decades)

I love this thread but. There were actually comparatively few dinosaurs near enough to see the Chicxulub impact (and even fewer who would have had time to gaze at it haplessly). The vast majority that died out would have done so in the ensuing weeks/months due to associated climate changes. "It's been cold and dark for so long and OMG where is all the food" isn't a dramatic picture, though.

Illustrating the K-T extinction purely by "dinosaurs look up at giant ball of fire in the sky" is a bit like if everyone illustrated the American Revolution with a painting in which people in Lexington perk up their ears at hearing musket fire. Sure, that must have happened, shot heard round the world and all that, but most of the consequential stuff unspooled in different ways.
