Description

***IMPORTANT*** The poster is currently shelved, no work will continue at this time. What's here is available to print for anyone curious. The project was ambitious for a hobbyist such as myself, but the biggest reason I stopped was my standards for restorations increased as my understanding of anatomy developed. A restoration of a species might have taken me a day or two when I began this project, now it takes me weeks to finish just one species. For better or worse that is where my skills have now been focused, quality over quantity ***

This poster will take ages to finish, but it will document every species of megafauna from North America 13,000 years ago in full 300 dpi detail. -- please view full size, but keep in mind, even at full size it is only a fraction of the true posters resolution (5,000 x 2000 .... vs 27,000 x 10,800)

poster size 7.5' x 3'

The lower left bracket is a glaciation chart, and habitat chart that shows how the continent 13,000 years ago, compares to the continent today.

The middle two brackets (empty right now) will contain a large text summary, and a timeline that puts 13,000 years ago into a "recent" looking perspective

The lower right bracket needs revamped into a more coherent design, but it will basically show how each species falls into the classification tree.

The top will show a high resolution profile picture of all the animals, and they will be grouped appropriately with their related familes via sectioned boxes, and color coordinated tags. The animals will be shown from largest to smallest or visa versa for compositional purposes, and their height and weights will be displayed, along with habitat symbols to show what environment the animals would generally be found in.

Someday it will be finished..... it's taking a long time though

*update... poster is slightly larger, some generic horse templates were added just to fill in some empty space, Florida cave bear added, a few other things have been shifted around with the carnivores, a few random animals were added all around the poster, and the Teratorn/Condor family problem was fixed.

This is sad that they didn't survive. That makes me wished that they made it through the extinction and still existed today.
