Hey everyone! After some thinking, I decided that I should create a thread for my Land Before Time related artwork on this forum. All the pictures here are direct links to my DeviantArt images. Unfinished artworks will not be featured here, if you're interested in those, feel free to check out my DA :D Thread still under creation, maybe I'll rearrage it or even add more images. Any suggestions are welcome!

Thank you for the suggestion. I just didn't want to clutter the place. Next time I post something I will try to keep that in mind.

I have said it elsewhere, but I will say it again: you are one talented artist. :) Though your initial work on DeviantArt was already great, the progressive improvement in your technique (especially in facial expressions, creating terrain, and getting body proportions correct) is very noticeable. As for your question about the gore, that should be fine. Where we draw the line on the forum is with anything sexual in nature, actual human gore, and things like that. Gore that is compliant with actual hardships depicted in the series would be acceptable as art, though perhaps a written warning followed by the image might be a good idea if you are really concerned about a particular image.
-
works are incredible! :o
-
I agree that your drawings are really impressive! :) Their atmospheres look pretty neat and it seems like your good at anatomy and doing facial expressions. The Stone of Cold Fire and Chronos and Logos are probably my favorite ones out of these due to the appropriate feeling you've managed to put into them! Really good job with all of these, though! :yes
-
My goodness! Your art is so incredible! I cannot even put it to words! They are just awesome!
-
Thank you, I'm happy you like 'em :)
-
They're so good! :D I love dromaeosaurs!
-
I agree with Sovereign, the Chronos and Logos and Stone of Cold Fire are my favorite as well. I really like your version of the Stone of Cold Fire. The glowing mixed with the mist along the ground gives it a much more supernatural look to it. Pterano's pose is great as well.
Very cool stuff.
-
Thanks everyone :DD

Another drawing! Any feedback/critisism is welcome!

it's still dark, desperate, and... and...
and it makes your drawings unique and awesome in some ways. :)
Though, well, even me isn't used to this look of LBT universe. XD
-
I love it! :smile
-
Thank you guys :DD
-
Really great-looking drawing as always! :yes The atmosphere is really heavy but the expression looks awesome as do the claws and the rough, hopeless feeling is just overwhelmingly powerful! Just an idea, though, it could be a good idea to tell what scene your drawings portray. I had to look at this for a moment but this drawing is about Petrie/Spotter reflecting his new self in the Seven Hunters, I take it? Some kind of description could be nice in this and your other drawings of the Seven Hunters. :)

Thank you very much! :DD This time, it's not actually from the Seven Hunters. I wanted to portray a flyer that is trapped by a sharptooth (or more sharpteeth) on the ground, lying in a puddle of some sorts. In the puddle, there's the reflection of the sky with the clouds.
-
Alright, sorry for the wrong assumption. :lol: I just assumed so considering you have many pictures about that fic. :smile

No worries, it was my fault for not providing it a proper description to go along with the drawing.

I had kinda the same general thought, with a character looking at the reflection in the water and I was a tad confused. Looking at it now it seems so obvious.
I don't know anything when it comes to drawing water but you seem to do a great job here. The ripples are drawn well and look believable and I like how the reflection by the Flyer's foot is distorted in a circular fashion. I also just noticed that the edge of the Flyer's wing is actually submerged in the water as well which is a nice touch (at least I think it is). A minor nitpick I have with the ripples are the ones in the top left corner of the puddle. I feel like they would expand radially from a point source (tip of the claw) rather then a consistent wavefront to the right. Heck, since there are two claws that potentially touch the water you could include the superposition of the two ripples.
That's enough about water and waves. I also really like your shading. I feel like the main problem with me right now is that I'm afraid to go to dark with my shading so it limits what I can work with. Anyways, awesome drawing! :DD

Thank you! I have to agree with you on that I should've done something more interesting with the ripples, the idea you proposed about the interference of waves made by the two claws is truly brilliant. I have tried to create interference patterns in a different part of the puddle, but it didn't turn out as good as I thought it'd be.

Wrok (Mender's Tale, written by rhombus) [DRAWING, TRADITIONAL]
------
-
looks... strong and serious. :unsure:
Good work!
-
This drawing is a nice one and the expression suits Wrok rather well! It shows his arrogance really nicely and the details are good enough. Perhaps there could have been something in the background but the pose is rather cool on its own. Nice job! :)
-
Thanks! Yes, adding something to the background was something I wanted to do, but shortly after the idea came, I changed my mind.
-
Very nice! :) The stern expression shows his plotting nature and the cold intelligence underneath. With such a foreboding expression one wonders if the workings of a great leader might reside underneath the ruthlessness, or if the outward appearance is a sign of cold emptiness underneath. The true motivations and nature of Wrok will indeed be explored as the story proceeds. The only deviation in this drawing from how I imagine him in the story is that he is feathered in the story, as are the other hidden runners (Troodons).

I can't imagine that they would be easy to draw. The idea came as I was writing the reply with my mind wondering from water to ripples to waves to physics :lol Glad you liked the idea. It's a lot of work for such a small detail but that's the stuff I love to see :DD
As for Wrok I love the work put into his eye with so much detail put into his pupil. I don't know anything about the character but the sharper angles around his chin and head give him a rugged and gruff appearance. Like with your other raptor drawings, the shading and detail put into all the scales is impressive as always. Great job!

Just some quick practise for me to get back into drawing.

Poor flyers keep getting picked on. Really cool drawing and I like the expression on the flyer. It really looks like it's desperately calling for help. The one thing I might suggest is to have the claw look like it is putting more pressure onto the flyer and pinning it down. To me it looks like it is just resting on the flyer's back. The shading and details with the scales and such are looking awesome as usual! Great job! :DD
-
OO
amazing as always.
-
Flyers really are having a hard time. :lol This picture is, once again, really impressive and the flyer's expression truly communicates the agony and pain of the moment, good job with it. I agree with Flathead on the foot and the lack of pressure but I'd also add that the contrast between the foot and the calf is a bit profound. The scales above the claws look truly great but it looks weird how blurred they become the further upward the leg goes. Apart from that issue, this drawing is really awesome again! I really like your style of drawing! :yes
-
Thanks everyone! :DD
-
You really like torturing flyers, huh? :lol:
Looks quite stunning!

Why, thank you! :DD
-
I updated it, thanks for the feedback everyone! How's it look now?
-
Not an expert but I can't spot anything that looks off to me. You seem to be knowing what you do when it comes to shading (unlike me ;) ) so I can't really judge the quality of that. However, I can tell it looks good to my eye, especially the scales on the predator!
-
The scales look much better now! :) The lack of pressure in the flier's back is the biggest thing that still catches my eye but it's a much harder detail to fix. In any case, this drawing is much more solid now! :yes
-
I noticed that you added some shading around the claws to help give a bit of weight to them and it seems like the best one could do without redoing a good portion of it. The shading also looks a lot darker now and the shading improved on the bigger claw? The added work to the upper part of the leg goes a long way as well. It's a good improvement and I can't really come up with anything else as far as feedback is concerned.
-
Thanks for all the feedback, it's appreciated!

Here's my entry for the fanart OC prompt, an amateourish watercolour painting. :DD
-
It is nice! love watercolors!
Who is this nice creature? It is fish with feathers? Oo Something amazing like Coelacanth? :D
-
A raptor chilling near the bushes :DD
-
Amateurish or not it is still leaps and bounds beyond my ability. :yes I do like the ambience of the painting, and the focus on a simple activity (fishing) does match the somewhat minimalist representation. :)
-
I agree with rhombus on the picture's ambience and feeling as they, as always in your drawings (or paintings), are quite impressive. The raptor's gaze and the moon looks quite cool and that perspective done with watercolors is really nice. The raptor itself, however, is a bit vague and to be honest, I, too, thought that this drawing was situated in water. :p Despite that, great job again! :)
-
It's been awhile since I've seen any watercolored art. It certainly has a unique look that goes well with the minimalist colouring and simple background. I must admit, I thought at first that the raptor didn't have any legs at first and it took me a little while to realize that he's laying down with his feet into the page. :p
Very cool! I would love to see more water colour art in the future if you plan on continuing it! :smile
