Well, I finally got this scanned, haven't had a chance to upload it to my deviantart yet so you guys are the first to see it. :P: In keeping in scale with Ducky, Petrie and Chomper on the first part, it was really hard to fit all of adult Littlefoot on a single page with both adult Cera and Spike; in addition to their "current selves". I couldn't fit all of Littlefoot and Cera, but I got as much as I could...generally just Littlefoot's tail and the back of Cera's head (and right front foot) are all that got left out. Not sure about Spike's colorings as an adult, they turned out a little weird...who knows though. :rolleyes: Adult Cera is finally an actual "three horn" as she so often announces. :lol Not sure what else to say about this piece, I can see many flaws in the feet and stuff (again, I always notice this more after scanning :slap).
Adult Littlefoot, Cera and Spike:

Enjoy!
The other little project I did randomly the other day is totally mouse drawn in ms paint (just like my avatar there). It's a total of six frames in length; there's not really much shading since my hand hurt enough after just drawing it (my mouse is a pain to work with :rolleyes:). Anyways, it's just a little animation of Chomper rubbing his nose...not sure what's going on, my guess is something just stung him (if you look close in a few of the panels there are tears starting to form in his eyes).

I know his front claws are really messed up there...maybe he chipped a nail instead, who knows. :slap :lol I personally think that I'm better with facial expressions than with full frame motion; I'm still practicing (teaching myself all this stuff :rolleyes: ) and I have a lot to learn. ;)

I like cera the best in that one prob cause trikes have always been my fave dino. Also akiko feel free to upload your work to the gallery i set up you have your own sub gallery there sence you made a account. is 100 x better than image shack thaat tends to have popups and adds that can be less than tasteful.
If you need a image hosted for forum sig avatar or to use img tags pm me here and ill have you email it to me and i can put on my host with a normal url.

I'm very sorry my response is so late.
I like the look of your picture and in particular your continuing of the presenting the grownup (or teen?) land before time dinosaurs alongside their younger counterparts. You made good use os some additional lines in the characters' faces to promote the impression of them being older and not just taler than they used to be.
I have two points of hopefully constructive criticism. They are not meant harshly, or negatively but... well you read my thread on constructive criticism and agreed with it as being helpful, so I guess I'm on the save side ;)
One thing I noticed is that the frill of the "younger Cera" is extremely curved between the bumps on top of it. Maybe the lines should be a little less concave.
The other point is that the elder Spike looks a bit thin and small between Littlefoot and Cera. Perhaps he could have been granted a little more space.
Great job though :yes

Your Chomper animation is really cute.
Chomper rubbing his nose...not sure what's going on, my guess is something just stung him (if you look close in a few of the panels there are tears starting to form in his eyes).
When I saw him touch his nose then saw the tear in his eye I couldn't help thinking "don't prick your nose if you have a sharptooth's claws". Perhaps Chomper accidentally stung himself?
