Dinosaurs on the Moon

Description

More of my dinosaur and space art can be seen in my DA "Paleo & Sci Illo" gallery:

The title is self-explanatory. That is the late Cretaceous Earth hanging in the backround. Those are sentient Troodontids in the foreground. Given a 65 million year headstart, they are now running the galaxy.

I had originally intended to give each Troonaut a spacesuit of a different color ala "Destination Moon". Once I had colored one suit green I decided to make them all the reassuring color of their native forests. In this colorless environment it would be comforting for the Troodonts to see each other as surrogate trees.

Reminds me of the series Dinosaur War by Thomas P. Hopp, where the dinosaurs planned on cloning their ecosystem after the dust settled, but the power cut out. Cue human astronaut accidentally plugging back in the computer and restarting the cloning tanks. The moon base has a laser!
