Well, I’m glad that worked out. (Thanks, Iris!
) For the record, FBS, I wouldn’t have stopped reviewing your art just because you posted it in multiple threads (and I doubt Iris would have either); your artwork is too awesome to ignore.
As for the texts, my mom taught me to write my T's like that when attempting to do 'fancy' ways of writing. I blame my mom for making it look like an F 
!
Maybe I’m the only one who thought they looked like F’s. I think it’s mainly the hooked “tail” on the base of the letter (which gives it both pronounced asymmetry and an extra right angle, neither of which I typically associate with T’s), combined with the little points in the middle that sort of correspond to the lower prong on an F. Good thing you had the F in “forever” lower down to set me straight.
Don’t get me wrong, though; I love stylized text
(You should see the cards I make for people), and the font you’re using is pretty cool.
I couldn't really find any good Domehead references and I couldn't find my LBT movies (eh, my sister probably took them again, the little bugger...). I'm sure it would've turned out better if I had movies 1, 4, and 6 with me. I don't really trust the later designs with the different animation.
Seriously?! You drew Tero without looking at the domeheads from the first movie?!
Holy buckets, either you had
some reference that was really good, or you have an incredible memory for detail.
I was comparing your picture of Tero to some screenshots* of the original LBT’s domeheads, and was impressed by how consistent your drawing was. (While I was doing so, I noticed for the first time that the three domeheads who attack Cera all look slightly different from one another, which got me thinking about how I could potentially flesh out their characters and write a story centered around them.
)
*I have a fairly large collection of screenshots from the original LBT, sequels VII through XII, and certain TV episodes. The next time you find yourself facing a lack of references for a LBT character, feel free to ask me for some.
I know there are also some other members here with even larger screenshot collections, which are already posted somewhere online.
I heard about the Troodon option too; my sister thought that, but only cause the two in the seventh movie were so smart and we heard that scientist consider Troodon one of the smartest of dinos. To me, the Rainbowfaces were Gallimimus; I mean, wouldn't Troodon be considered a sharptooth?
The first time I saw LBT VII, I assumed that the rainbow faces were ornithomimids of some kind as well, however I was perplexed by the fact that they were treated (more or less) as benevolent and harmless, when their closest relatives in the seriesó
Struthiomimus, namely Ozzy and Strutówere always depicted as antagonistic nest thieves. While the rainbow faces arguably look less like
Troodon, I see a fair number of reasons why they would be based on that dinosaur, not only because (as you mentioned), it is considered to be among the among the brainiest of dinosaurs, but also because it has long been popularly speculated that had
Troodon not gone extinct, it might have gone on to develop its own technology and civilization, with some…radicalists (inspired by an excessively humanoid reconstruction of a hypothetical
Troodon descendant) going so far as to argue that they in fact did survive, developed space travel, and are in fact the creatures commonly described by alien abductees.
Anyway, my theory is that the filmmakers used
Troodon as the basis for the rainbow faces, but made them less “sharptooth-like” by removing the sickle claws (which weren’t as prominent as those of their relatives, the dromaeosaurs, to begin with) and keeping the teeth non-visible most of the time. (There is at least one shot in which you can see a set of pointed teeth in the female rainbow face’s mouth.) Also, while
Troodon is generally thought of as a carnivore, its teeth are serrated in a similar way to those of plant-eating dinosaurs, so it may have included some plant matter in its diet, so it’s not altogether implausible that they could coexist with leafeating dinosaurs in the LBT series. (Incidentally,
Troodon was initially classified as a pachycephalosaur, so at one time in paleontological history, your pairing here might not actually have been considered much of a stretch!
)
The names Tero and Teryx are very similar and in fact, it's kind of a running gag amongst the gang to go "Ter......." Insert a long deliberate pause for both Tero and Teryx to react, usually with impatience. Then finish with whatever name they had in mind. Just a joke to get on their nerves! Tiki and Clubbie (unlike his 'real world' counterpart, Clubbie talks and is quite an amusing little weirdo 
) do it on a daily basis.
That’s brilliant!
I love that!
Can’t wait to see more art from you!
And again, don’t worry about the issue with the threads.
