This is a place for my LBT fanart and other dinosaur-related artwork.
(Let it be my 500th post here. Opening this thread is a good way to celebrate my newly acquired Petrie level. Petrie is the reason why I love LBT.)

1. Ducky123 as an orange hadrosaur.

I've created a dinosaur persona ("dinosona") for Ducky123. This is how he would look like if he was an LBT dinosaur.
This is my second LBT-related picture, the first one was "Ozzy and a pile of Eggs".

Awww, thank you so much, MurMur

and congratulations for your 500th post

You may want to put your 'Ozzy and a pile of eggs' into this thread, too?

Thanks.

Here is "Ozzy and a pile of Eggs"
"Ozzy and a pile of Eggs".
He is not colored, but there's no real need to do coloring. That was just a funny picture for the "Caption This" section.

Oh those are really quite good! What do you use to draw them with?

MurMur · **Reply #4 on:** June 28, 2013, 02:03:36 PM

I use MS Paint to create my pictures.

Wow! those are done in paint? Flippin' whaaaat?

Both are very well done, you have a really unique, almost cartoony, but it's a serious type of cartoony, style

Esp. love Oz and his eggs. At last!!! XDD

Thanks. Yes, they are done in Paint. What's wrong with that?

StrutEggStealer · **Reply #7 on:** June 28, 2013, 03:09:27 PM

Absolutely nothing wrong!
I'm just surprised bc I can't do in Paint what I can do in GIMP. What version of Paint do you have?

MurMur · **Reply #8 on:** June 28, 2013, 03:15:16 PM

I'm not sure. The one in Windows 7.

DarkHououmon · **Reply #9 on:** June 28, 2013, 03:16:50 PM

MS Paint in Windows 7 is more advanced than previous Paint. There's more options available, though still no layers.

MurMur · **Reply #10 on:** June 28, 2013, 03:22:14 PM

I used old Windows 98 Paint for years before switching to this one. No need to use anything else.
What do you think of these pictures?

Mumbling · **Reply #11 on:** June 28, 2013, 04:21:03 PM

Paint is really impressive! You need a real steady mouse to work with that and make it look good like that. Keep it up!

The reason I asked is because most people who draw will either use photoshop or GIMP, which are very detailed programs that work with layers (so that you can hide one element or work on one etc.), you're doing everything on one layer, that's really good!

MurMur · **Reply #12 on:** June 28, 2013, 05:23:21 PM

Never heard of layers.

I've never seen any drawing programs other than Paint. That's because I rarely draw anything.

That's great! I outta make myself a dinosona... :blink:

MurMur · **Reply #14 on:** June 28, 2013, 06:03:35 PM

Thank you.

What does your dinosona look like?

A picture I made yesterday.

2. Ozzy's mean sister.

This is a picture of an unnamed female egg-stealer. She looks like Ozzy's evil sister or something, so I created an appropriate backstory for her. The story is that she was mean to Ozzy and denied him food. So he had to run away from her, taking Strut with him. And now she wants to get revenge on Ozzy for kidnapping her beloved brother Strut.

She loves Strut, because he doesn't try to steal her food, while Ozzy does.
The pinkish color looks rather stereotypical, but I think it fits her very well. I wanted to make her blue, but the end result was not very good.

These are really cute, MurMur! I love your style of drawing.

It's also very impressive that you do your drawings in Paint. I struggle a lot with it myself, and prefer to use GIMP with layers and stuff like that, but you have done really good stuff with it! Looking forward to seeing more!

MurMur · **Reply #18 on:** July 05, 2013, 01:16:07 PM

Thanks. I feel that layers are not necessary to make a good picture. No one had access to them in ancient times.

3. A storm is coming...

A dinosaur persona ("dinosona") I made for StrutEggStealer. She loves it.

This is a female egg-stealer. She's cheerful, optimistic, highly spontaneous and fun, patient, yet easily ruffled, and focused. And she has a hat decorated with leaves. Useful for camouflage I suppose.

Here is the larger version of this picture. And if you don't like her hat, click here to remove it.
