Fave char film (original one) ducky fave char series chomper. Chompers voice actor has given him such much life and a style all his own. Chomper has this really practiced way of speaking makeing sure very thing he says is crisp and clear. You here the ts in don't won't can't etc were as with most other chars and even people you don't hear them so much. We all tend to say i don' know or i won' Chomper is I don't know Or i won't

Fave supporting char hypes father. Mostly do to how he handeled the 2 raptor dinos to ither side. He slashed them both with his thumb claws. Those handy little things had been found broken off in various meat eater fossiles and deep gouges in fossiles as well.

Fave supportign char in series ruby. Shes not a main char imo as we don't have much visable backstory for her. Over the years we know the main 5s backstories as we have been shown them. We also know a fair bit about chomper and other thigns we can make educated assumtions about. Like all assumptions though assuming somethign tends to make a something out of you (u) and me (me) hehe. In other words we will assume something then be proven wrong by what the writers decide to say.

Well few things here

First thank you threehorn and action if not for you guys wed never get to see land before tiem eps now.

Secound time to start emailing YTV and universal about this i think. Universal was crazy excited abot cartoon network and land before time then ctn pulls this bs. I kind of doubt speilburge will be very happy about this. Ill get the email addys later in the day and post them in a new topic in the fridge. We can then come up with some good email subject and body to send them. Also maybe a petitiononline deal as well.

CTN screws over viewers every chance they get. They seem to use one good show to crank up their ratings then yank it air reruns or no air of the show at all. Then suddenly with zero warning and no update to the schedual put something else in its place. Now this show suddenly gets high ratings. One people tune in to see show x and its not on but oh well ill watch it any how and 2 fans of said replacement show tune in just to see their fav show. So now suddenly ctn gots views of the show from 2 groups the take it or leave it group and the fav show group. They now get a huge rating bump for the show and a huge bump in advert dolors.

Ugh… What a bunch of crap.

Well, at least downloading the episodes will now feel justified.
Guess i was right again about ctn. Scratch show number 5.
beast machines season 2 ctn no air
gundam wing original last 6 eps ctn no air
.hack sign last 10 eps ctn no air
one of the digimons last 5 ctn no air
land before time over half the eps this season no air next season no air

Good job CTN show how much you care for your viewers. Guess more time for scooby doo now. (nothign wrong with scooby if you like the shows)

The Fridge / A trex hand puppet from original lbt release?

Got ya a picture of the Gang of Six in this case.  Don't know why they colored Petrie like they did.  :x

 
heh yeh i know.
But i think i know why.
Think of it this way during creation of pretty much any thing you have a few stages in the proccess.
step 1 is the idea
step 2 is conceptialisign the idea includeing basic black and white ruff sketches
step 3 is refining the concept drawings often adding color to the black and whites.
During this stage youll probably have hal a dozen or more colors for different aspects.
LBT was ment to be a dark film its quite possible that one of the favs for petrie is the color we see now. But because his coloring was to bright and chearful agaisnt the stark dark bgs they changed it to the more earthy muted tones we are use to. But sence its possible that this petrie as seen in the pupet was a early first choice and because the pupets were a promo for the film that it was a late change to current petrie colors. To late to change the puppet as it was already finished and ready to ship or shipped.

rendered it, but i like your avatar, it matches my name.
heheh yeh
chomper became my fav char pretty quick once the series got rolling along. The voice actor just puts so much personality in to the char hes easly the best adition to land before time over all period. Theres been alot of good and fun and funny chars in the film but chomper is easly the best one imo.

My chomper 3d model needs my main comp before i can really get his head right. This old laptop with the old 2.5 ver of 2ds max just does not cut it.

General Land Before Time / Chomper
« on: May 18, 2007, 09:02:05 PM »
Simple reason for the extra fingure is so he has a more useable hand. He uses the xtra digit like a semi thumb to let him grip things like rock as seen in lonely journey.

In the first 2 chomper apearances this wasnt needed. I do think he had 3 in 5 though. Again same thing he needed to grip objects more human like.

Ohh thats so wrong.
Get to some action then say will be a few days before next pages :)


I love the close up of the mouth shot.
Your also doign a great job at keeping the charector art very consitant in each page and panel. Thas not a easy thing to do. Ask any comic book artist. Its a entirely seperate skill that normally takes time to develop. Seems you happen to have a nack for it.

There is a problem with that, YTV haven't even aired it yet
true how ever back in the day when ctn pulled a simular move with another show ytv gae the person uploading the eps access to unaired episodes. So in the end all the eps of the show were uploaded long before they aired any where.

Could you tell me please, where I can download the “Days of rising waters” episode (I have found links to nearly all episodes except this). I know that usually downloading is illegal, but these cartoons have not been released on DVD yet, so it doesn’t violate any copyrights, and it is the only way for me to see them ( I live in Italy and they are not shown here). Could you also tell me if the episodes “The hermit of the black rock” and "The amazing threehorn girl" have already been shown on TV or not (I have not found any links to these episodes either) ?
Well dont know what the result will be. But sence your in a market where the eps are not aired and no plans mentioned about airing them fire off a email to ytv the ca affiliate for cartoon network. In the past they have allowed the upload of various animated series for dl in uncovered markets.

Sorry about the characters not being cut perfectly.  Pages 3-7 are fully editable.  I am just trying to get the pages out as fast as possible.  I will fix the minor errors later.  As for the caption bubbles, I really don't know how to do that but I'll think of something.  I could for example make a white circle covering the text and then move it back so it's behind it.  I don't know if I can make a curved arrow thing leading to the characters mouths.  The arrow thing would have to be straight.  Now I'm just going to watch all of the lbt video's and take potentially useful screenshots.  One difficult thing about taking characters directly from the movies is the fact that most of the time, part of them is covered.  On the last slide, Spike had no tail so I had to put him partially off the screen after rotating him horizontally.  Tough work getting all of the glitchs out but thanks for the imput.  Any other idea's?
strait is fine on a caption bubble as is your sqaured bubbles them seles. Leave the rounded corners.
If you really want curved pointers most editors have a arc tool that lets you create curved elements. Im not in to 2d art so dont ask me wich ones ive seen various image editors that do it though.

Also dont think that the bubble needs to be directly over a chars head you can place above to right or left dependign on the direction a char is facing with a strait pointer towards the mouth.

I think you have a very workable idea here. I see some left overs from your cut outs of the original seens like some green around little foots head in one picture for example. But it looks quite good. On thing you will need to do is come up with a good caption bubble and make sure that what you have the chars saying fits their typical movie/series personalities.

But the idea is very very workable.

Thanks for the positive feedback, novaflare! Also great to hear comments and suggestions from the readers to improve the story. I'll take your suggestions in consideration, I just figured the dinosaurs knew a bit of the chemicals of the leaves and most of the mentions of humanoid and the chemicals were in non-quotable parts of the story, not directed told from them and therefore not known to them.
Yeh not a story breaking thing by any means. I still cant wait to read the rest hehe.

I just don't agree with their programming choices, and I don't really know who greenlighted the projects you can find on these stations (I'll shove one out--that Brandy and Mr. Whiskers). I guess when you grow up with the old Disney Afternoon in the early 90s its hard to like what you've seen some other cartoons become.
I assume that when you say you grew up with the old Disney shows, that you imply that other shows were involved too.  I grew up to those 90s shows, too.  Shows like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Darkwing Duck, Rescue Rangers, Gargoyles, and to a lesser extent, shows like Blake and Mortimer, The Tick, Animaniacs, the Warner Bros shows, The Head (now that was a weird cartoon, but entertaining nonetheless).

Disney wasn't the only game in town for youth television, not by a long shot.  I don't like to call today's cartoons "Bad" but I will agree that they are very different when we're used to the 90s cartoons.  I haven't watched a lot of the newer cartoons so I can't offer a strong arguement about them.  Whether or not they're truly "better" or "worse" is primarily subjective.  If you grew up on the shows of today, they may seem as normal as our shows did back in the 90s.
Well alot of todays "cartoons" Are little more than brain rottign drivel with no substance. Disney had a few good aniamted series back in the day Gargoyles tail spin i almost forgot about rescue rangers. In non disney fair you also had shows like the original transformers zone riders the original gi joe all with nice involved story lines that went on for a season or some times even 2 or 3. Now we got little more than badly done spin offs of old shows. Things like the new scooby doo or the new transformers where if it has a story line its next to impossible to follow. Then you got garbage like billi and mandi how ever you spell it that is pure brain rot toilet humor. These shows get new eps all the time on ctn while a good show one parents can at the vbery least sit through like lbt the series get poor treatment no adverts to speak of etc.

Why is this why does ctn go out of their way to splater adverts for trash like billy and mandi while lbt gets no advert love at all?

edit to add

Just wanted to add that if any one was offended by the brain rot comment i dont mean to offend. I watch these more or less sotryless shows as well. Im more iritated by the fact that ctn is airing more and more of these sorts of shows while axing the story line driven ones where you need to think about the story a fair bit.
