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.
Thanks, it's going to be pretty impressive once all the animals are on there, some people have no idea at all just how many animals the first "American" settlers would have seen... Think Africa's bio-diversity, times 2 or 3.
The "short-necked camel" that your referring to Isn't short necked at all, it just has long hair, and the neck is kinda scrunched close to it's body. Its going to be either a Camelops huerfanensis or a Camelops kansanus, --- I still have yet to determine which one I am going to make it more similar too, right now its just representing a generic American camel, with no bias towards any particular species.
I Will do that perhaps the next time I update, though for the final, I'm thinking full size is the only way to go, even though it will take a few minutes to download, it is the only way to see ALL the text (some of it will be extremely small relative to the posters size)
Thanks, and I see you requested it to be available as a print, I of course won't make it a possibility until it is finished but I will need to think about it a little bit before I say yes or no. I definitely would love to make some sort of profit from this poster, but I'm not sure what I can do with it outside of Deviantart.com, Also... can they make prints 7.5 feet by 3 feet??? Thats how big it HAS to be in order to read some of the text that will go on it. Plus it looks most impressive at that size... trust me haha I printed out a tester and it looks like a museum banner its so big.
I've been working on this concept for nearly a year, I'm not making any money while i do it so It's taking a lot of my free time between working and school. All i can say is it will be done when its done. I won't rush it and make it sloppy or allow errors, this project is like my biggest thing yet, and I'm hoping it could jump start a design career or something.

I can't get over how awesome that is. But what's the short-necked camel?
