Hey, Y'all, wow I've been so inactive here as of late, rest assured, I am alive and kicking... very weakly and without much effort, but kicking nonetheless^^
Thought I'd give you all a taste of my average art talents, if you're interested. Show of hands? XD lol

Enjoy^^
-
Very awesome artwork! ^^
Can't wait to see more! :DD
-
Hadley is gorgeous!
-
Hadley is gorgeous!
Hehe thanks^^ yeah, he's rather prideful of his appearance. Glad you like :DD
Thanks, EggStealerGirl!

I really really like how this came out^^ I also really like the character of Artie, she seems so sweet and kind :DD
Enjoy!
-
Nice! :D Do you have any interest of submitting your work into the LBT fanclub on Deviantart? :)
-
Ooh, very unique coloring style! What do you use to ink and paint with?
I guess I should also ask if you want constructive criticism on any of your art, because I won't if you don't want me to. :^.^:
-
@Mumbling - thanks. I did try submitting there, after squeeing in joy that there was an LBT fandom on dA^^ but for some reason, it wouldn't accept it. i dunno what i did wrong :shrug:
@FreckledOne - I use GIMP for the painting and coloring :)
regarding the criticism, I know these aren't top-notch works, I have a rather cartoony style, just so you know. These aren't really meant to be 'serious' lol just for fun :) but if you want to, sure.
Also, I doodled another Pterano ;)
(http://fc07.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2012/240/4/f/reflecting_by_thebattycrow-d5cro4a.jpg)
Pterano on a Moonlit night. this piece is called Reflecting. I know it's not perfect, the angle and the perspective still makes me cringe :p but I thought it was presentable, soooo here y'are :DD
-
These are amazing. I feel terrible not looking at them before. Please upload more! :DD
-
Blarg…I wanted to review this thread weeks ago, but I kept putting it off because of other things I had to do. :oops Like Mr. Wonk said, I feel bad about it, because this is some truly incredible art.
I adore the perspective in your pictures, especially Pterano in the first image. His pose is awesome! :lol I also think it's interesting that you chose to draw most of these pictures without outlines. It's a style I don't see very often in LBT fanart, but you do it really well! I'm amazed at how three-dimensional they look.
The first picture of Pterano is perhaps my favorite so far. His expression is terrific, and I can't get over how good the shading looks, especially on his wings. You did a great job with his hands, too; those are very hard to draw, and they look very natural here. And while his left heel (Pterano's left, not the viewer's) looks rather pointy, the feet and legs are also very well done. :yes
The one thing that bothers me about this picture is the points on the trailing edge of Pterano's wings. You can't really be blamed for them, since he has those in some shots in LBT VII, but just like the four-fingered hands the animators sometimes give Pterano and Petrie and other flyers when they should have three fingers, I tend to think of them as off-model features that shouldn't be there. Real pterosaurs did not have those points on their wings, and flyers in LBT normally don't either. That said, his wings are otherwise outstanding.
On to the second picture, showing Hadley: I love the pose you drew this character in. I find it really hard to draw dinosaurs from this angle, and I admire how well you managed it. The depth you managed to achieve through the tone and shading on Hadley's chest, legs, and tail is astounding. You chose some interesting colors for him as well (He kinda looks like he's wearing wristbands, :p but I don't really see it as a flaw). Truthfully, from a scientific standpoint Hadley's feathers aren't very accurate, but they're a neat addition nonetheless. He's so shaggy-looking! :lol I'd love to see more pictures of this character.
Just out of curiosity, how'd you come up with the name "different claw" for Hadley's species? And would you like me to add it to the "Non-Canon Dinosaurs" names list in the LBT Glossary?
Artie…Isn't she one of Jrd89's characters? (I don't follow his RP, but I seem to remember him asking if anyone would draw a character named "Artie" for him.) Even though I don't know what the character is supposed to look like, your depiction of her looks fantastic. I like the color scheme, and how you made the neck ruff look so fuzzy. :smile And for some reason I find the solid blue eyes to look absolutely gorgeous, even though I don't think there's ever been a Pteranodon character in LBT with eyes like that. Her expression has so much personality, and the eyes are a big part of that. (I always have trouble drawing eyes that are any more complex than black dots inside white spheres, so when I look at work by an artist who does eyes really well, I find myself drawn to them.) I find it a little odd that she has such a masculine-looking crest for her species, but perhaps that's what the character description you were working with entailed? In any case, she still looks great.
Finally, the fourth and most recent picture: Even though you say you don't like it, I think it's another amazing perspective drawing. (Maybe that tells you that I just have low standards because I have zero talent for perspective drawing, but I stand by that opinion. :p) At first I thought that the rock formations surrounding Pterano and making up the horizon were clouds, :oops but I still like how you drew them. They lend the picture a sort of whimsical quality. The moon and the lighting it provides add beautifully to this effect.
Even though most of Pterano's body is rather simple, I really like how you drew his head, especially his crest with its narrow, blade-like bottom edge. His beak, eyebrows, and the back of his head are also wonderfully shaded.
That's all the comments I have for now. I hope my constructive criticism was useful in some way, and not simply annoying. :unsure:
By the way, StrutEggStealer, do you know about the GOF Member Awards that are going on right now? Your name has been coming up a lot in the Fanart Award category, but you're only eligible for the award if you participate in the voting. Just thought you might like to know.
Regardless of whether you care about the awards or not, your artwork is spectacular, and I really hope you keep making it. :)
-
Pangaea: Yes, Artie is VERY sweet and kind. Yes, I posted a "Wanna Draw Artie?" thread last month, and struteggstealer wanted to draw her. She drew Artie SO WONDERFULLY too, and made her eyes so pretty. ^_^
Yep, that's right, Pangaea, Artie is a character from my RP "Flyers Of the Mysterious Beyond"
As for who came up with the idea of Artie... I give that credit to Trulyfantasticme.
She is a very beautiful pteranodon with quite the personality. Thanks, Pangaea, I appreciate your comment on struteggstealer's Artie drawing. She is a very pretty, beautiful pteranodon. :D
-
StrutEggStealer and like others on The Gang of Five Fan art corner have inspired me to try out myself. Don't think I be as good know. :lol
-
The one thing that bothers me about this picture is the points on the trailing edge of Pterano's wings.
Lol yeah, I know. As I said, I don't really think of these as scientifically accurate. I got the notion from Batty Koda from Ferngully, one of my fave cartoons charries of the 90's :) He's often shown to have points on his wings while they are folded or his arms are bent. I just find it kinda fun to put in that level of exaggeration^^
Just out of curiosity, how'd you come up with the name "different claw" for Hadley's species? And would you like me to add it to the "Non-Canon Dinosaurs" names list in the LBT Glossary?
Stenonychosaurus means: Narrow-Clawed Foot, and since Troodontids resemble raptors, but are not in fact dormaeosaurids, I came uo with Different Claw because I thought it would lend a sort of 'outcast' air to the character. Being 'different' and all :)
sorry, big words and I'm a huge nerd, sooo :DD
As for adding it to the list, sure :)
Finally, the fourth and most recent picture: Even though you say you don't like it, I think it's another amazing perspective drawing. (Maybe that tells you that I just have low standards because I have zero talent for perspective drawing, but I stand by that opinion. :p) At first I thought that the rock formations surrounding Pterano and making up the horizon were clouds, :oops but I still like how you drew them. They lend the picture a sort of whimsical quality. The moon and the lighting it provides add beautifully to this effect.
Thanks, As for drawing them without the outline, I thought it gave them more of a real feel. Otherwise, I thought they were being constrained within LINES and who wants that? ;) lol
The rocks gave me grief, and I'm still not to happy about how his blasted head came out, but, i look at it and go, "Meh I guess it's okay" :lol
By the way, StrutEggStealer, do you know about the GOF Member Awards that are going on right now? Your name has been coming up a lot in the Fanart Award category, but you're only eligible for the award if you participate in the voting. Just thought you might like to know.
That sounds really neat. Where can I find that voting thread? That might be fun :DD
Thanks, Pangaea, for your reviews. I really appreciate your taking them time to look at my work. I also appreciate what you said. I get so nervous showing other my artwork because I have, in my opinion, a cartoony style. For me, drawing/painting is just a kind of outlet that I can got all out on^^ I respect what you said that some of these weren't totally accurate, but that may not have been what I was aiming for, I was just working on various posing, shading (:anger... drrrrgh curse shading XD) etc.
I hope to post some more stuff on here. I didn't think I'd get this many comments and reviews^^ so I will definitely post more when i can :)
TYSM again :DD

You're talking to a guy whose name is a prehistoric supercontinent and is obsessed with talking about dinosaurs and natural history. It's no problem. :p
As for drawing them without the outline, I thought it gave them more of a real feel. Otherwise, I thought they were being constrained within LINES and who wants that? ;) lol
I'm virtually incapable of drawing without outlines because I'm so terrible at forming an image of what I'm trying to draw in my head and then translating it onto paper. So I really admire your ability to make such fantastic pictures without them.
That sounds really neat. Where can I find that voting thread? That might be fun :DD
The GOF awards section is titled "Saurus Rock: Member Hall of Fame (http://gangoffive.net/index.php?showforum=45)", and is a sub-forum of The Fridge. I love the award votingópersonally, I like to think of it as a forum-wide member appreciation threadóbut it can be tricky; this is my third year of voting and I still kept going back to check the guidelines to be sure I was doing everything right. Seeing as you're a first-time voter, here are some extra pointers on the different award-related threads:- GOF Awards 2012 Rules, Voter List, Award Drafts (http://gangoffive.net/index.php?showtopic=11462): Contains the rules of this year's voting, a list of all the members eligible to be nominated for an award, and the descriptions for each award category. Be sure to read this before you vote. (You might want to keep this thread open in another tab or window while you're typing up your votes; it's good to be able to check to be sure that you're following the guidelines correctly and that all of your nominations are eligible.)
- Award voting 2012 (http://gangoffive.net/index.php?showtopic=11466): This is the thread for the actual voting. Feel free to look at other members' votes to get an idea of how it's done, but don't vote for someone just because other members have voted for them; vote for whoever you feel deserves an award, based on what you've seen (And don't nominate me for the Helpful Member Award just because I helped you find the voting thread :p). Remember that you need to vote in at least six out of the eight categories in order to be eligible for an award yourself (and if you skip two votes out of the initial seven award categories, you must participate in the Appreciated Member award voting, which takes place later). You also need to state whether or not you will be skipping a category.
- GOF Awards 2012 - Voting Status (http://gangoffive.net/index.php?showtopic=11463): This thread contains another list of this year's eligible voters, this one color-coded to show which members have already voted. It allows you to check whether you have yet voted in enough categories to be eligible for an award.
- GOF Awards 2012 - Voting Tally (http://gangoffive.net/index.php?showtopic=11467): Here you can see which members have received how many votes in which categories. From a voter's standpoint, this thread is mainly here as a convenient means of satisfying your curiosity about the current voting statistics (as opposed to reading through the entire voting thread and tallying the results yourself). It is not necessary to follow this thread as part of the voting process.
NOTE: As of this moment, the above two threads have not been updated in a couple of days. Your voting status and nominations may not be "recorded" immediately after you vote.
I hope that helps, and good luck voting. :)
Thanks, Pangaea, for your reviews. I really appreciate your taking them time to look at my work. I also appreciate what you said. I get so nervous showing other my artwork because I have, in my opinion, a cartoony style.
You're welcome. And there's nothing wrong with that. I have a cartoony art style, and so does FlipperBoidSkua (a good friend of mine whose artwork I know you have seen). A lot can be done with a cartoony style; personally I think you can create characters with much more entertaining poses and expressions than with a more realistic style. Besides, pretty much everyone on this forum who does artwork of LBT characters is going to have a cartoony style. :p
For me, drawing/painting is just a kind of outlet that I can got all out on^^ I respect what you said that some of these weren't totally accurate, but that may not have been what I was aiming for, I was just working on various posing, shading (:anger... drrrrgh curse shading XD) etc.
Yeah, sorry about the critique; :oops it's just what I do. I'm a nitpicker by nature, with a compulsion to make myself useful. The intent of my feedback style is basically to point out details that the artist could potentially improve the next time he or she draws something where attention to said detail is relevant. You're a very talented artist, and even if you weren't going for perfection with these pictures, I figured it wouldn't hurt to offer some suggestions on how you could make your artwork even better, just in case they would be useful. If you'd rather I not do that, though, I can leave that part of my review out the next time I leave feedback on your work.
-
Oh, please don't think I don't appreciate your feedback, because I do. I always find it interesting to read what the viewers think (unless the review is insulting :p lol)
And i'm glad you're nitpicky :DD you presented some interesting ideas and questions in your review of my work and I'm glad you did :)
-
Aw, you're welcome. Can't wait to see more of your art. :smile
By the way, just in case you were still interested in participating in the GOF Awards, today is the last day for you to vote. Not that you're expected or obliged to vote by any means; I just thought you might want to know.
-
Thanks,I actually just finished voting^^ so good timing, lol
-
You need to vote in two more categories to receive an award, or you can vote in just one more category, but then you must vote in the Appreciated Member Awrd category.
Hurry up. ;)
-
which category would that be?
-
Before I made that post, I saw you voted in only 4 categories (now I see you actually voted in 3), and you need to vote in 6 categories or 5 categories plus the Appreciated Member category to receive an award. Later you voted in 2 more categories, and today you voted in the Appreciated Member category. You voted in 5 categories plus the Appreciated Member category. You fullfiled your civic "duty" to the GOF, and now you can receive your award after the voting is over.
Congratulations!
-
Yay^^ that makes me happy.
here's a little something to help me celebrate...
(http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2012/154/7/7/i_am_titanium_by_thebattycrow-d524ocg.jpg)
Random Pterano pic in titanium alloy transform mode :blink: :blink:......
lol this is mostly based on the song titanium by David Guetta, and it always reminds me of Pterano whenever I hear it.
*shrugs*
-
:lol
Nice association! Some songs remind me of Pterano too, which others would have a hard time linking to him.
How long did it take you to draw this?
The shading on the hands and legs looks very nice. I also like the way you drew his neck hair. His expression and posture fits a guy who is aware of his invulnerability. :D The expression on his face seems a bit ambiguous, though. I can't decide whether he's sad or angry. You also forgot to put some shading on the neck. The wings also need more detailed shading and anatomy. Judging by your previous work, I'm sure you can do that if you want and have the time.
-
Just keeps getting better and better. Well done Strut! :DD
-
The expression on his face seems a bit ambiguous, though. I can't decide whether he's sad or angry.
Well, I would say he looks more sad than angry. That was the original expression I was going for, but at the same time, I guess it works if he's expressionless... for some reason, one which I can't decide on, right now^^
The wings also need more detailed shading and anatomy.
How so? I meant for him to be, well, a metal alloy flyer. Almost like a robot, but with a sleeker design, etc.
-
^You're right. By the time I wrote the end of that post, I forgot he was supposed to be made of metal. :slap
-
Lol, no worries^^ hindsight is 20/20 :lol
-
Ugh, I feel so mad at myself for being so neglectful of things here! I've even left off my fanfic, an action that deserves a huge sad face :cry :cry
Anyway, here are some arts which I hope will help. This be my OC Dante,
(http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2012/178/8/5/meet_dante_by_thebattycrow-d552g4s.jpg)
More info of him on Character Sheets here on this forum.
D'aww, I love this guy and feel so bad for him, too. He's had such a hard life recently :(
Also, slight change: his age is 31, not 21 :p
-
I like how you drew his right arm; I mean the rest of him is drawn great too, but the way that hand is held is awesome! :smile
Poor guy, he really looks distrustful after what he's been through. :cry
-
(http://fc06.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2012/142/d/6/sorry_to_rush_ya_by_thebattycrow-d50rnng.jpg)
Oii Vey :DD I don't even know anymore...
MISTAH THREEHORN ABOUT TA IMPALE YA, PTERANO, IF YA DON'T GET MOVIN'!!
I had fun with this one, the perspective worked out well, I think, and I love ANGRY FACE THREEHORN in the bg :lol
-
Every time I see the title of this topic, "Mine FanArt", I keep misreading it as "Minecraft Art". I have no idea how I keep misreading it.
Nice artwork, by the way.
-
Maybe I should put in some Minecraft fanart then^^
...what is minecraft?

Whoa, that's cool^^ I'm not much a gamer, but I like to watch video games
Also, I doodled another Pterano with a local artist's OC. Meet Elana, Pterano's potential mate in a fanfic whose name I either forget, or don't know altogether :rolleyes: I'm vague and confusing that way :p
(http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2012/347/c/c/don_t_you_worry__child_by_thebattycrow-d5nxqbx.png)
Done in GIMP 2.8, and WOW!!! the bg finally came out good!! :o
the title of this on dA is called Don't You Worry, Child, from Swedish House Mafia's new single ;) love dat song.
Anywhos, enjoy^^

Meet my concept of TFM's charrie Zaine...
on a side note, I just want to giggle madly :lol this was a lot of fun to do as I don't normally do villains...
So yeah, Zaine, ev'rybody! :DD

This is completely off the subject of LBT, but I am also quite an enthusiastic Dinotopia fan (fantastastrophy?) and posted this on my dA page after I rented the Dinotopia TV Series (for the third time in the past two years XDD)
The dinosaurs are both Stenosauruses, possibly a derivative of Stenonychosauruses; the green one is from the miniseries and TV series - he is Professor Zippo, head of the Ancient Library of Waterfall City, and the russety one is a potential (?) love interest for him who appears in one (only one?!) episode of the TV Series, named Yarra.
The lyrics are to One Republic's Feel Again
Also this... because... I needed a Ponysona :p

Jared comish'd I do this for Valentine's day. Him as an LBT pteranodon and Artie from Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond.
Enjoy
-
YOU DID IT! :D :D :D Thank you VERY VERY MUCH, STRUT! :oops :oops :wub :wub :wub I LOVE IT! :D hee hee hee ^_^ (I look similar to Pterano, except..
I see that my crest is more straight, his curves upward slightly, I do look younger, pterano's face looks more middle aged/older. My neck ring here is green, his is yellow, and my eyes are blue, he doesn't have an eye color, just white with black pupils. ;) Hopefully noone will confuse me for Pterano in this wonderful drawing. ;) I notice the differences betweeen my appearance and Pterano's and telling them apart. Don't worry, Struteggstealer. I personally can tell the difference. He and I of course would have two completely different personalities.) I also love what you had me say in the drawing for my line.
Jared: "Lemme kiss you!" :wub ^_^ ^_^ :wub heh heh! great line for me.
:D hee hee. We're touching each other's claws and arms..
My eyes are really blue, too. (my mouth is so sore from smiling so hard at this picture! ^_^ hee hee And my cheeks have turned a blushing red.) :oops :oops.
The Valentine's picture is SO SWEET! AWWHHHHH ^_^ THANK YOU SO MUCH! I didn't expect the size of the picture to be this large. AWESOME JOB, STRUT! :D I love the detail, lighting, and shadowing detail, too. Great work and effort on that.
AWWH hee hee. <3 <3 I'm so nice and loving towards Artie. My colors seem a little pterano-ish, but I know that it's me. I have my blue eyes here! ^_^ It's very very sweet. ^_^ Thank you for drawing it for me, Struteggstealer! :D I truly thank you.
Hee hee. Jared and Artie. <3 hee hee. Artie and I look so nice and sweet. She certainly looks like a very smart and sweet pteranodon. ^_^ :oops.
-
cool, very romantic picture :smile
I like it!
-
Wow, thanks for the enthusiastic reply, Jared :D

Oy, not another double post! Derp...
(http://th05.deviantart.net/fs70/PRE/f/2013/093/5/a/the_gang_of_lineart_by_thebattycrow-d60cqga.jpg)
Just a crack-shot at the Gang and Guido, as well as my OC Taylen in my fic Earning Restitution (see my sig)
I gotta say, I like how this came out, even if some of the poses aren't three-dimensional in the slightest; Guido was fun to portray, and so was Petrie :smile
-
This is beautiful! And just look at those expressions...
-
:wow :wow :wow :wow :wow :wow :wow :wow :wow :wow :wow
This is great!!
Spike somehow looks like he's flirting with someone :blink: :lol
Littlefoot is a bit too big, imo, but he just looks great!
Petrie's great, too!
Ah, Taylen :)
Ducky seems to have a beer belly :lol but she's drawn in a cute pose ;)
Guido looks funny :DD like his pose :)
Cera's great, too
I especially like that you draw them very detailled :yes
Well done! I want to see MORE!!! :exactly
-
Hee, thanks.
Yee-ahh, I know these aren't perfect - hence the hurried details, etc. :p - Ducky was the hardest for me, lol. Whoda thought her cute, leaping "Way ta go, Petrie" pose would be so challenging?
-
Nicely done! The only thing I could remark about this is that Littlefoot's legs should most likely be a bit shorter... Love your art style!
-
^ that's something I actually wanted to deliberately change. His legs bothered me in the movies, lol :DD
-
I must cease with these double-postings :p
I must, yes yes yes
(http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2013/098/1/e/meet_razor_by_thebattycrow-d60xtg5.png)
Anyway here is Razor, my Dilopho (Spitter Shartooth) Land Before Time OC
I am currently working on an update of Hadley as well, not to mention a few other characters ;)
Peace out, y'all!! :exactly
-
(http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2013/106/9/7/meet_keirra_by_thebattycrow-d61z6yb.png)
This is another OC, Keirra the Sailed Flyer (Tapejara)
My dinosona, ev'rybody :DD
Now, a bit about her:
Age: Young adult, equivalent of early twenties
Physical Appearance: Keirra's slim, but she is not skinny or thin; she is petite, and seems younger than her actual age (acts it, too sometimes)
Personality: Keirra is a scatterbrained, oblivious flyer in the 'I'd-forget-my-own-head-if-it-wasn't-attached-to-my-body' way. Chatty and spontaneous, she will drop everything at the first sign of random-ness that gets her attention. She is also well-spoken and patient, despite her sudden and spontaneous nature. Though not in any way malicious or violent, Keirra can get easily frustrated and ruffled.
Speech Pattern: Jovial, precocious alto which will rise to a soprano when she gets excited. Talks quickly, but surely. Giggles and laughs as a secondary form of communication.
Attributes: Keirra is an adaptable flyer; living most of her life on her own has prepared her in such a way. She is also quite smart, even if she doesn't always show it. She's also a daring, but capable, flyer.
-
Yanno, Littlefoot looks older in the gang picture. That's not a criticism, but an observation. Looks nice though. :)
I like the way you've draw Razor's hands and feet. They seem three dimensional. And I love the pose on your dinosona! So adorable! :lol: (Ha, it's funny everyone has all these OCs, and I only have my dinosona. :oops )

It's funny, I got annoyed at how he was protrayed, like he was a Peter Pan in the series - never frikkin' grew up - so that was intentional, lol

Thanks and thanks :DD
Aw, nothing to be ashamed of; different strokes for different folks. I sometimes think it's better to have minimal characters because they end up betting the most developed and fleshed out - whereas I just slap a charry down and I feel they never really get that one-on-one.
Attention seekers.... :p

After a period of procrastinating, giving in, and then holding back, before finally putting pencil against paper, I have returned with more art :)
Pterano (the user) requested I draw two pics for his birthday tomorrow (Happy Birthday, btw), and I have to say a big thank you to him, otherwise, I dunno when I'd have gotten the motivation up to start posting again.
Plus, his OC is really, really cool
(http://fc04.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2013/178/9/a/norton_request_by_thebattycrow-d6ay8su.png)
Norton, y'all!! Taking after Dad-Pterano (the flyer) here :3
(http://fc07.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2013/178/e/2/pterano__n_norton_request_by_thebattycrow-d6aya8r.png)
Pterano and Norton sharing a close embrace. This looks a little funky because I wanted to experiment with more plain, uniform colors and just white highlights for a more 3D effect. Lemme know if I succeeded... or failed :p
Enjoy! Ahh, good to be back!
-
Ohh, awesome use of color on that second pic! :wow The colors remind me of Conte crayons. I would definitely call it a success!
I guess I have a little nitpick (no, really Ren? :rolleyes: ); I think maybe Pterano's head should be colored too, at least his neck and lower jaw. But that's just a nitpick. I'm sure Pterano (the user) will love them!
-
Oh I certainly do love them! THANK YOU so much for this! *bows appreciatively* You're so good at capturing emotions in pictures! I just love your style! It's all in the facial expressions and poses!
Another great job! And glad I motivated you! ^^ :DD
Thanks once again for this! They're great! :DD
-
@Ren: I was thinking something along those lines, too as I finished it.
@Pterano: I'm glad you like them, they were a lot of fun^^
Heh, glad you think so. Norton's pose was my favorite of the two, I think - he's taking after his father, lol
Hey, Happy Birthday!!
-
:yes :D I like them too! :D :yes My favorite one is the first one, (Norton's pose.) What a powerful, bold one, too! *He poses just like how Pterano poses* Well, like father like son! ^_^ ) :D Great job on the color/shading and the muscle tone in his arms. Wow! :D
As for the Pterano-Norton hug picture. What a nice father-son moment you drew there. You captured Pterano's expression perfect. Narrowed eyes and a small, loving smile. :yes
What more can I say? They're both awesome drawings, Struteggstealer. :yes You've got skill, and i'm very impressed.
-
Awesome job drawing Pterano You did a amazing job with the design of the drawing.
-
More OC art I says!
Here's my Two Crest character Desmond. Formerly Byron the Two Crest, but that name conflicted with another friend's character.
Long live the Scottish accented saurians! :DD

(http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2013/209/e/6/meet_hadley_updated_by_thebattycrow-d6flxdq.png)
An update of my OC Hadley... I like how he came out this time. Looks a lot more accurate, at least by LBT standards, lol
A/N: Anyone thinking of requests? I've been thinking I could do more of them. Soooo... any takers?
-
(http://fc07.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2013/214/4/f/seizon_commish_by_thebattycrow-d6gcvir.png)
For Dosu, his character Seizon. Ill also post this in the Fanart for VV section as well :)
This was a lot of fun, experimenting more with colors and gradients (torturing myself is more likely. DRRRGH! Why are sunset scenes so hard?! :o) Well, hope this is viewed as a success :wave
-
Hey, you really found your own style I think :lol
Keep it up, Strut :)
-
I really need to start giving feedback. :slap
Strut, I just want you to know that I always truly enjoy looking at your artwork. It has inspired me to get off my butt and do my own stuff a few times. I love the brightness and the colours you use; it's really eye-catching.
Anyway, I'm going to leave a comment on your latest piece. First thing, I love how the sunset has been done. I know how hard it can be to get it right. I have tried painting sunsets onto a canvas a couple of times now as well as on GIMP. Let's just say that the ones on the canvas were slightly better. :lol
Secondly, I love the shading on Seizon! One thing I tend to notice on people's artwork (including my own :p) is that they haven't really got the light source and shading done quite right, but this looks very well done.
Also, I really love your style, as well as some of the ideas you have come up with. The second picture that you did for Pterano's birthday is really unique and I love how you did it. :DD
Keep up the good work, Strut!
-
Aw thank you so much, Rammy! I really appreciate your words!
Heh I guess you know where I'm coming form, using GIMP and all. Funny, the program tends to give objects a sort of unnatural luster for highlighting - at least in my experience XDD
Thank you again! :DD

(http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2013/253/4/4/kira_maxwell_updated_by_thebattycrow-d6lt79r.png)
One of my Dinotopia OC's, Kira Maxwell, cousin of Sylvia Romano, and a good friend of Zippo Stenosaurus.
I am happy with how she turned out, aside from that... blasted... hand! :bang
-
She looks nice, Strut :DD
I think you got her very well, her face looks almost as if this was a photo. The eyes are a little too big but, to be honest, it looks better than small eyes so no critism at all. I'm also quite impressed of how detailed you worked. The dress she's wearing is awesome (no critism but a suggestion: next time try to make clothes not too simple, add some more details and it'll be perfect! If you are able to do this, that is of course ;)) and her hands and specially the flower are just gorgeous! I wish I had your talent :lol:
Did you use a reference btw?
-
Thanks! :DD
Lol I use anime eyes for my people (and non-people, too), so that's the deal with her eyes
I did not use a reference - I had used solid colors to indicate her position and then added the detail in later.
Oh I was scared to add clothing detail :smile but maybe I'll do that eventually
Thank you again!

Time for Ferngully arts!! :smile
This pic introduces a darker side of me, too O_o
-
Professor: "Hold still, dammit! This won't hurt at all, least till the anesthesia wears out..."
Really nice sketch, Strut! :DD
EDIT: yeah, the Professor doesn't even realize he's still awake after that anesthesia. XD
-
Anesthesia? Who said anything about that dang anesthesia? Does he really need it, after all? XDD
Thanks!
-
Awesome! You work extremely detailed and the expression of the character (haven't heard of Ferngully until now) is done with skill :)
Though I do prefer LBT art, I must stress that a good artist is able to draw a wide variation of things and not just always the same just in different poses etc.
Well done!
-
Thanks, Ducky :smile
Wow, I've been away for a while, huh? Well, lately, I've been getting caught up in certain RP's over yonder, so that's been eating up most of my time, and I've been clearing up reference checks and background info for a new job, so....
anyway, here's a taste of what I've been working on ;)
(http://fc07.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2013/273/5/4/chipenrango_by_thebattycrow-d6omzkh.jpg)
That's Rango the chameleon being semi-strangeled by my Rango fanchara Chip the Black Footed ferret lol
And this is here is my favorite charry of the movie:
(http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2011/284/4/0/rattlesnake_jake_sketch_by_thebattycrow-d4cja7l.jpg)
BOOM, Baby!! :lol
-
Wonder what Rango said to get himself into such a predicament this time. :DD
Nice pose on Rango there. Is Chip a good guy or a bad guy? Should I be concerned? ;)
-
Hm, knowing Rango and knowing Chip, who knows what was said? XDD
Chip's a... well, he's semi-bad if anything. He's a former outlaw, and has a hard time following rules.
Oh noooo.... :yes
-
(http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2013/281/c/f/yellowbelly_commish_by_thebattycrow-d6pqxuw.png)
Commish'd by Jrd89 and being the dinosaur purist I am, I went all BEIPEIOSAURUS!CLAWS!DIGITIGRADEFEETZ! lol
Also, had a little more fun in GIMP doing this:
(http://fc07.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2013/321/a/9/take_that_money_by_thebattycrow-d6uo14c.png)
My Rango OC Chip the Ferret singin' along to:
Take that money, watch it burn, sink in the river the lessons are learnt!
XDD
-
Good stuff here Strut :)
-
Awesome Strut! Look at these claws :o Don't want 'em to tear me apart :p
-
Thanks Dalek! How are things? :DD
@Ducky: Lol, thnx. Even though I liked the 13th movie I agree that the Yellowbellies' design was... goofy :p
Also, anyone ready for some BERDSS?
Oy, so many pics! Guah!
(http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2013/334/b/5/gavin_cody_and_rory_by_thebattycrow-d6w9xug.jpg)

I'm great Sturt, as I said on D-art I'm having a blast here:)
-
Wow, just amazing, Strut! :lol Those birds look genius!
-
Very nice Strut! :) You did an excellent job on the birds. I especially like the one on the upper right.
-
I'm a particular fan of the Chip pics, but then again, mustelids are my favorite family after all. :yes
-
Love your Art :) ( I wish I could draw stuff like that!)
Just wanna ask: do you do requests? :o
-
Joining the accolades. Well done Strut!
-
Wow! Thank you all for the wonderful comments^^ and I'm sorry I didn't reply to them sooner (facepalm)
@Pterano: Lol I thought you might^^ of all the fancharacters I've made, I can definitely say that Chip is among my top favorites XDD if you want more info about him, you can visit my dA page Here (http://thebattycrow.deviantart.com/)
@Sleepy: I do requests, but I'm rather unpredictable in their timing. Dosu can tell you a bit more about that than I can, I'm sure :| I still owe him a pic.
@rhombus: hat's Cody, my juvy crow ;) another one of my top fave OC's, lol. Glad you like!
-
(http://fc04.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2013/357/7/4/pyron_s_last_moments_by_thebattycrow-d6z3w18.jpg)
FINALLY! IT HAS BEEN FINISHED!!!
To Dosu: I'm so so so so sorry for the long wait, you must be going out of your mind at me and I for one, do not blame yaz! :o
Hope you enjoy the pic though... you evil person, you... :lol
-
I don't care how long it took...LOOKS ABSOLUTLEY AMAZING!!!!!!!! :DD Thankssssssssssssssss!
-
I have nothing to add. Amazing Strut, simply amazing :yes
-
Thanks y'all! :DD I really appreciate the feedback, and hopefully I don't disappear all that much in the near future :o
-

I saw this on DeviantArt, and have to say...this is AMAZING! I LOVE THIS! Th detail, the color scheme, the poses...it's all AMAZING!
EDIT: Also, I LOVE your OC, Taylen. He's ADORABLE!
-
Looking great as always, Strut! Well done! :yes
-
@CeraTheRed: Aw, thank you so much^^ it really means a lot to me :yes
Thanks, Ducky^^

Thanks, Ducky^^
You are welcome! I actually love quite a few pieces of your art, and check it out on DeviantArt. You really have a LOT of talent, from what I've seen, and in my opinion.
-
Aww, you make me blush^^ Are you on dA as well?

I...really don't draw well, but I enjoy doing it, and love looking at others' artwork.
-
I THOUGHT I recognized you :DD
I like your gally, the little sketches are really cute!
Well, the most advice I can give you is keep practicing - drawing's one of those tricky and annoying hobbies that, like a plant or a baby, must be nourished and cared for :)

Ah, thank you very much. I really don't have much talent in that area, but I just like drawing, anyway, so I keep at it anyway. Also, some of those were drawn by mouse. I DO have a tablet, I just have no room to use it. My laptop takes up most of the room in my room.
-
I use paper and pencil more nowadays, and then I just scan it in, lol. I use my tablet for touchups mostly :3

I'd LOVE to have a scanner. I might try and save up for one some time. I've wanted one for a while, and I'm almost always drawing.

Thatcher the GE Archaeornithomimus.
Some OC's of mine =w=
Certainly been forever and a day since I was last on here, so I figured I would drop by :)
How are you all doing?
I'm busy with school and job searching... ugh I don't want to adult. You can't make me adult :p
But here are a few goodies that I wanted to share :)
-
Very nice drawings! :wow I especially like the drawing of Thatcher. It has been quite a while, StrutEggStealer, how have you been?
-
They look so cute!
-
Good stuff. Its been a while since you've been active round here.
-
Thanks, all! It's nice to be back :3
I've been busy, mostly with academics. I'm back in school now, working towards my BA degree in Biology with a minor in Education. I'm hopefully going to attend a study abroad program in the fall, or if that doesn't work out, I'm shooting for the spring :)
-
Oh hey! Who remembers this show, Loonatics Unleashed? :D Rev Runner is my bae!
(http://pre05.deviantart.net/0641/th/pre/i/2015/087/d/7/reving_up_by_thebattycrow-d8ng1jx.png)
And he's humanized, too! ;)
(http://pre14.deviantart.net/34af/th/pre/i/2015/098/5/b/rev_gijinka_by_thebattycrow-d8ozzxk.png)
The colors were a pain :p
Both done in paint.net
-
Here are some pics I've had stashed away for a while and I've been meaning to fix up, so here they are in full regalia! ;)
(http://pre12.deviantart.net/3b15/th/pre/i/2015/102/b/4/lbt_adult_lineup_by_thebattycrow-d8pdz1p.jpg)
The Grownup Lineup Part 1!! Grandpa'd be Mayor, no question. Topps'd be police captain cuz easier to boss everyone around that way
(http://img14.deviantart.net/f768/i/2015/103/2/9/lbt_lineup_second_by_thebattycrow-d8pmq19.jpg)
... Smexy Pterano... :bang
Also, I figured IRL Ozzy would be more upset at Strut for being a cigarette junkie rather than a vegetarian :smile
(http://img11.deviantart.net/b18c/i/2015/103/e/6/lbt_lineup_third_by_thebattycrow-d8pmxry.jpg)
YELLOWBELLIES!! And Sierra and Rinkus, too ;)
-
But wait there's moar!!
(http://orig13.deviantart.net/c4d4/f/2015/103/b/1/lbt_kosh_by_thebattycrow-d8pneci.jpg)
Kosh as the Valley Doc cuz reasons?? I'm sure I have some good reasons XDD
(http://pre15.deviantart.net/db52/th/pre/f/2015/103/7/2/lbt_redclaw_by_thebattycrow-d8pneyn.jpg)
Shnikes!! Redclaw's actually a stone-cold criminal instead of a wimpy bully! O_o
He plays a rather big part in what I hope to be an upcoming Humanized LBT fic, we'll see how far I get with that idea :rolleyes
(http://pre05.deviantart.net/7bea/th/pre/i/2015/103/b/c/lbt_screech_and_thud_by_thebattycrow-d8pninj.jpg)
Screech an' Thud, not much to say
-
I love your art. You draw better than I do; but then again, I haven't drawn anything in a few years.
I can't wait to see your human forms of Littlefoot and the gang; if you plan on drawing them. I'd love to see their human forms.
-
I've already commented on these on DA but I think it can't hurt to do so here as well, can it? :p
These humanisations are very good and it's usually easy to tell who the characters are :DD A fic? GO AHEAD!!! :lol
-
Haha thanks, all^^
@Ducky123: Yeah, it's more of a rough idea and a couple typed paragraphs, but mostly sketch concepts. I hope it'll turn into something real soon XD
