AI Ceratosaurus

Meant to upload this on Sunday, but time got away from me... anyway, Happy New Year!

This illustration is basically a reaction to this cruddy AI-generated depiction of a Ceratosaurus that was floating around twitter a couple months ago (and getting ragged on hard by the paleoart community). Instead of an AI-generated Ceratosaurus, it's a Ceratosaurus that IS an AI!

Digital painting and photobash, with photo assets primarily being from Smithsonian's Open Access. Was going to be almost entirely photomanipulation, but I'm a painter at heart :p
