From this point on, my new Land Before Time Pics will be linked to and posted here.

I'll start with my newest, a Pterano pic done in about an hour.

Here's one of Petrie's siblings...

(http://fc06.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2009/351/a/1/One_of_Petrie__s_Siblings_by_Noguy.jpg)

I really need to get a tablet for these... maybe a wacom tablet... do the linework and color it using another program... maybe GIMP... although that's really for editing... hmm... MS paint only gets me so far... paint shop pro maybe...

Very good.

Do you do your drawings free hand or with some aids?

Title: My Pic Thread
Post by: Noname on December 19, 2009, 05:30:39 PM

These are free hand, using a model, done on MS paint. Each of them is taken directly from a movie clip.

I'm planning on getting a wacom tablet to finally solve my problem with the lines, and from there, it is only a matter of practice and experience before color, shading, and texture are all improved.

Here's one of Petrie! I introduce shading in this one! XD

Hello:
 It is always good to make one step at a time and, as you said, it will only be a matter pf practice. And there are very nice tutorial out there for every step you'll make for your drawings (colouring, shading, backgrounds, etc).
 So, keep it up!

Title: My Pic Thread
Post by: Noname on December 21, 2009, 02:32:15 PM

Thanks! Now to move on to pieces which are less tutorial-based and more about applying what I know...  :lol

Of course, I suspect that most people who make Land Before Time pics use a model of the characters...  :lol:

Because there are issues about what can be made into a motivational poster and what cannot, I put this work made in anger on DA.

Here's a WIP. It looks really good until you see it up-close XD

(http://fc02.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2009/355/4/1/Ali_First_Draft_by_Noguy.jpg)


Here is it again, in smaller size. It looks better this way. I can't wait to get my tablet; i'll finally slay the beast of bad linework with it. That, and practice. :lol


(http://th02.deviantart.net/fs70/300W/i/2009/355/4/1/Ali_First_Draft_by_Noguy.jpg)

Another one, of Tria:

(http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2009/356/9/e/Land_Before_Time__Tria_by_Noguy.jpg)

They're ALL WIP until I get better at drawing. I can't rush that. Still, when I get a tablet and learn how to use it well, I should see a sudden spike in quality. There's no replacement for experience, though.

Most of Tria's body was made without the direct use of a model. Areas that were based off of a model are of higher quality, although the level of quality seen in the non-model areas is far higher for me now than it would've been a week ago.

Title: My Pic Thread
Post by: Noname on December 27, 2009, 10:00:14 PM

Here's one done in a different technique, almost without the use of black lines.

I admit it isn't quite my thing.

I made a photomanipulation, but am not sure how it turned out. There weren't many pics of Ali for me to use.

I like your LBT Motivational Posters... you should continue to make them.

Title: My Pic Thread
Post by: Noname on January 01, 2010, 09:53:53 PM

You bet I will! I just wanted to try a different kind of photo-manipulation. What do you think of the one with Littlefoot and Ali?

And yes... those expressions...  :blink:

Title: My Pic Thread
Post by: Noname on January 02, 2010, 04:37:16 AM

Here's one of Chomper. First draft only.

Title: My Pic Thread
Post by: Noname on January 02, 2010, 06:29:46 PM

Gah! I think I gotta slow down or something. How many have I made in just two weeks? Anyway, here is about 67 minutes worth of drawing on paint.net, without a tablet. Littlefoot and Ali.

 (http://fc06.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2010/002/8/0/Littlefoot_and_Ali_by_Noguy.jpg)

Here's the second version of it, using layers and gradients:

(http://fc04.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2010/002/3/1/Littlefoot_and_Ali_Colored_by_Noguy.jpg)

This next one isn't exactly ART per se, but it is a parody. I was getting tired of just making those posters, so I added some word and thought balloons.

(http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac297/Aristoclestalos/badali.jpg)

How could I forget this? Another first draft. They'll ALL be first drafts, of a sort, until I think they are good enough. (http://fc07.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2010/002/7/8/Chomper_First_Draft_by_Noguy.jpg)

Title: My Pic Thread
Post by: Noname on January 03, 2010, 07:02:29 PM

I've got a new one, but it is sorta questionable. I won't link or show it here. Just go to my gallery and find it. It should be very easy to find. It isn't sexually oriented or filled with curses, but it does have pterodactyl parts scattered all over. It is rated mature there for safety.

Title: My Pic Thread
Post by: Noname on January 03, 2010, 11:43:51 PM

This one was a semi-successful attempt. Good colors and decent linework, bad use of perspective. I'll remake it in a more reasonable pic. And yes, this is an attempt at fanservice for the Pterano fangirls. It fails. XD Next one will be better. I can do close-up images well, though.

It's big, so I'll link it:

http://noguy.deviantart.com/art/Abstract-P...ctive-149128813 (http://noguy.deviantart.com/art/Abstract-Pterano-Perspective-149128813)

By contrast, this version of my last piece is getting a lot better!

I seem to have a reputation for motivational posters; that thread gets all the attention!  :lol

In any case, even with the spotlight diverted from this page, I still like to show what I can do here, now that I have a tablet.

Here's an expanded version of my very first tablet piece, a close-up of Red Claw's scarred eye after eating the fruit from the TV episode "The Hidden Canyon."

Here's a WIP. I've worked on it since, but it still looks kinda incomplete. Still, I like it so far. And yes, that is snow without most of the details. XD

Title: My Pic Thread
Post by: Noname on January 19, 2010, 10:05:57 PM

I'm trying for a perspective shot of Chomper. So far, I've got this:

(http://fc06.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2010/018/2/0/Chomper__s_Footwork_2_by_Noguy.jpg)

In any case, the critical factor is time. I don't know how much time I will have to practice or improve on my works. They've got me busy in college and at work.

Title: My Pic Thread
Post by: Noname on January 21, 2010, 01:46:31 AM

Another one with Chomper. I'll go back and revise it, making him a bit wider and clean up his arms and some of the lines, not to mention add more teeth. XD

Here's another one, also of Chomper. I'll add more variety in the next one. XD

I must admit that those images are not the best in the world, but I'd say they're pretty ok for a beginning artist(assuming you are a beginner...)

I especially liked the rather "suggestive" pics of Little Foot and Allie. I wrote a couple of fanfics where both character were actually mated and had children together. Grown up versions of them, of course!  :smile

I always saw those two as being made for each other!  :angel

Post by: Noname on January 23, 2010, 05:39:48 PM

Gee. Thanks for all the "support", Karkovice. lol

Yes, I started not long ago. In a year from now, I'll be a lot better. XD

I still think I'm about as good as the average level of people on the GoF. I'm not great, but about average. Some pieces are better than others.

Title: My Pic Thread
Post by: Noname on January 24, 2010, 04:46:40 AM

Here's an updated version of an older pic. It looks better, but still needs more cleanup.

I should also have more motivational posters soon. Most people here love em. ;)

 This pic is looking very good, the dinosaurs came very well. I am looking forward to see it completely done.
 Keep it up! :DD .

Title: My Pic Thread
Post by: Noname on January 25, 2010, 10:33:41 PM

Thanks! I'm also looking forward to cleaning this up and finishing it. I don't know when that will BE, but soon, I hope. I still have to clean up the lines of the raptors, add a real background, and fix a few things here and there.

 :D Thanks again, Chiletrek!

Here's something that Ptyra indirectly reminded me to finish. This is NOT my first Pterano pic, btw.

(http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2010/026/f/6/Sore_Pterodactyl_by_Noguy.jpg)

And yes, there is a backstory to this one. I'll get to it later.

Title: My Pic Thread
Post by: Noname on January 28, 2010, 01:55:33 AM

Here's one where I experiment with a silhouette. I really gotta take my time on these. On the plus side, it means more practice with my tablet. :D

Seems like forever since I visited this! Here's a new one. This is no character in particular, just a female sauropod done in the movie's style.

I'll add the linework for it, if anyone wants to see.

Here is the linework for a pic of Ruby, based on a shot from the TV series. It will be colored, background added, shaded, etc.
