#500: The Stalker

Description

Hell Creek, the end of the Cretaceous.
An adult Triceratops prorsus travels through a half open forest with two juveniles. They aren't hers, she had a clutch of several hatchlings herself, but they all fell prey to predators. She has learned from her mistakes though and next year, if she can find a mate and produce new offspring, she'll likely succeed in raising several of her young.
But that's for next year. Now she is back on her own, following her daily rythm by herself, sometimes with the company of other adults.
She has had some followers the past few days though: two juvenile Triceratops use her size as protection against predators such as Dakotaraptors and juvenile or sub-adult rexes, carnivores that won't dare to come close to an adult Triceratops. The two stay within eyesight so they don't lose her and she doesn't make any problems of it as long as they mind their own business.
However, there are larger predators on the block and soon the juveniles are going to find out if their guard will be able to protect them against the apex predator of Hell Creek: an adult Tyrannosaurus rex.


So, my 500th deviation. I've been busy for quite some time with this one: I started working on it more than a month ago, but had to start over again after I saw Saurian released their Triceratops lifecycle. I had drawn my juveniles way too big... 
It fell still because of this and it would take a week or three before I continued with it since I didn't have time for drawing because of school and when I got back on track my immune system decided to update so I got ill. That was past week, during the weekend I could look at a paper again and I've been sporadically working on it when I had some time untill I now finally got to finish it. 
I think this is the longest I've worked on a drawing untill now, so I guess this one is going to end up being one of my favorite works.
