Arrhinoceratops is inspired by antiquated scientific illustrations such as Albrecht Durer's Rhinoceros (1515).
Here, an Arrhinoceratops is shown from the side, the most common angle for maximum visual clarity in biological art. The animal is not static but in motion and sprouts a speculative mane of quills. The image was etched into a copper plate that holds the ink within the engraving- as opposed to relief printmaking which holds ink on the elevated, un-carved surface. This method of printmaking would have been desirable for capturing the intricate detail of living animals before the advent of photography.
