This is the spot I'll be uploading all of my art and ect. I'll also try to document the storyboarding I enjoy to do but that's a bit more tricky XD
FOR NOW take some cuteness of my oc, papa Ruse (Adult Thalassodromeus) and my friends oc and his adopted son, Tuft (juvenile Dekotaraptor)! For the story we are building, Ruse takes Tuft in after almost feeding him to a Quetzalcoatlus!!

Man, you draw characters with so much expression and personality! Ruse and Tuft seem like a sweet pair!

That's so sweet of you, thank you so much!! Tuft is a handful, but Ruse loves to take care of em!!

That looks so pretty! :duckyhappy The blending between different colors is very nicely done, especially when watercolor (at least in my experience) is quite an unruly medium. :p

Thank you so very much!! I did have a really hard time with the watercolors, but eventually figured out that if you put water on the paper prior to painting and dampen it it makes blending so much easier !!

Water color art is so pretty. Well done ^^

A little doodle I did of my boys as humans !!

Aww, humanized Tuft looks so adorable and ornery at the same time! And I like how Ruse’s beak became his nose :lol

You do such a good job translating the facial expression and body language of your characters into this form, and the color and shading here is so vibrant!! Wonder who he’s trying to get a con past here…

Whoa!!! That's some serious lighting, looks really cool!! :ChomperImpressed (But yikes, poor Ruse!)
I have noticed, though, the other drawings you've posted have kind of...disappeared. Sorry, but could you repost some of those? I was using them as reference for our art trade. ;)

yeah, they're gone. :(petrie If you open direct link, "This content is no longer available." message shows up.

NOOOO I'll upload them again asap!! It's hard to find a place to upload these without the link disappearing X(c

Dang, I think I'm gonna need to rework this thread! :(c
-
Aw man, sorry it's giving you a hard time. As of recently, I put my drawings in Google Drive and use the embed link, which seems to consistently work so far. Imgur is another option a lot of members use.
-
:screechconfused
I'm gonna give it one more go on this thread, and if it doesn't upload properly, I'll make a new one!
Fingers crossed!!

Glad you got things worked out, it's so nice to see your art again! :)petrie
I especially like that new picture of Ruse, it showcases his personality quite well! Is the longneck a friend of his, or simply his latest unwitting perch? :lol

The Longneck is my pal's, SilverWesternDrago's oc Nobody! She befriended Ruse during a small roleplay we did in the discord server associated to this forum! It's been going very well so far!
-
Oh, that sounds fun! I've never been a big fan of Discord as far as the website design and stuff, but I'm glad people are still enjoying the forum's server.

Well done!

You already know I'm in love with it! The characters, the background, the overall composition, AAAAAAAAA! :wub :wub :wub

Your 15 years of art and illustration have done you well. Both the characters and background are splendid. :spikeblush

Oh my, I missed this post until I saw Rainbow's work. What an amazing piece. I love the activity going on in the art section at the moment!

Here's another small piece, a bit quicker this time, of Ruse and Nobody!! Ruse is very proud of his catch!!

"Ruse will do what Ruse wants!!" *proceeds to choke on it and and spits it out anyways.* XD

The discrepancy between the facial expressions here gives me the vibes of a cat bringing a, uh...treat home to his owner after a night of hunting, haha. :petrieLOL

Poor lizard indeed! Ruse the troublemaker he is, he is! :duckyworried
That longneck seems quite tired of him... :P

Koen!!! Mo-o-o-o quite loves that name for your new OC! And love the new character drawing too. :ChomperPOG :CeraHAPPY
It is a Dutch name that means "brave" and "bold" according to my research, so nice job on purposely choosing that name. :bestsharptooth
And nice doodles, always good to see more of Ruse. :P ;)

Excellent work as always. You've captured your poignant feelings in Ruse very nicely, in such a short amount of time as well.
That level of speed without sacrificing quality is something I can always appreciate! :)
And I also love the setting, perfectly representing RainbowFaceProtege's bittersweet exit from the internet with a specific shining bright star in the sky that Ruse looks up at mournfully. It shows that's she gone from our lives, but at least she's still out there alive, hopefully living her best life. And at the very least, she would still be with us in our hearts.
I miss her too, indeed. :(petrie

I apologize if I'm taking it a little hard. I have a lot of attachment problems and my Bipolar can make it hard to control these big emotions. I know she's still out there, doing her thing, enjoying her life, but it still feels like I'm losing her. I didn't even get to talk to her much and it still means so much that she's gone.
I hope things go well for her always!

No worries, I totally understand Lizzy. Take this from someone who also gets "overly emotional" a lot in this sort of situation or similar. There's nothing to be ashamed about, it's okay to let out your feelings of grief. Nobody should tell you otherwise.
I hope all is well with her out there too!

Thank you, with a night of restless sleeping, this morning brings a new light to things. I'm still a bit weepy but I'm glad for her. Thank you for listening, Impractical! I'll try to do more cheery activity from here on out XD
-
No problem! I'm glad to hear that you're slowly chinning up, Lizzy! :P :D
And to be honest, you arriving on the forum with your awesome artwork was probably the final straw needed for Mo-o-o-o to finally start learning and dabbling with digital art drawing. It's something this fishy has said he wanted to do for awhile now, seeing many other artists and their works in the past. But the renewed enthusiasm you've brought to the forum has really inspired me, so thank you for that!
:Mo
So yeah, I'll get serious starting this Monday, and I'll finally open the package of the drawing pad that I've purchased over a year or two ago this weekend. :)
-
That's so fantastic to hear that you're dabbling in the digital art! I love art and I'm glad that love has spilled over to others!! I'd love to see your work when you get some put together (unless you have some traditional work you've got to show!) I'd love to see anything really!

Thank you so much, Mumbling! Koen and Ruse are such fun characters to draw so I appreciate the compliments!

Thank you!! Grandpa, in my opinion, would let little Ruse chew his ear off before he'd send him away, the lil thing just wants someone to talk to!

He's such a gentle ol guy, I needed someone sweet to make the sad a bit easier to deal with! Which it has!
-
So you have an entire AU, or world outside of the main plot with these characters? I think I read somewhere you had profiles for some of them. Nice artwork by the way, I love doing such as well! I am a comic artist, was going to become a professional, but decided to do it as a pleasure for my own means.
I do ! Here's a link to their profiles, they're still wips so Koen's history and the like aren't fully filled out just yet!
https://www.gangoffive.net/index.php?topic=17973.0
I'd love to see some of your art sometime!

Testing the waters first, I am hesitate with fandoms. I had bad luck with a lot of them throughout the years, so I hold everything back till I know it is safe.
I didn't expect you to do so much pterosaurs! I happen to be invested into them as a hobby, and seeing you did a quetzalcoatlus happens to be one of my favorites of all time! I can tell you possibly based on one of the recent evidence of may having some sort of modified feathers that were hairlike on the neck (correct if I am mistaken).
I used them for my original characters that have nothing to do with LBA, but served as in terms of giving the initiation of how they fly. I love things with wings, and all sorts! Very neat art. I am trying to attempt for digital again, and seeing this makes me want to attempt if I don't get particularly picky.
I totally understand that, I myself hardly post anywhere anymore because of similar reasons, so no worries!
And yes, Gallio has very thin hair like feathers, I try to stay close to Land Before Time's style while still implementing facts from the real world! Whenever you feel comfortable enough, you should absolutely share!
-
Which reminds me! I needed to share this piece of Gallio I worked on !
(https://i.imgur.com/kkzcrdW.png)
-
:rainbowwave
-
Waaaah, I love how he looks! Ugh, sorry, I love these pterosaurs so much! I also needle felt, and wanted to make one with a long neck and pair of wings. Just went into a hard burnout after doing a sperm whale that took me weeks to finish.
So his name is Gallio, is he new to the team? I take it he is a bit of a bad guy, or a anti-hero perhaps?
That sounds awesome! I've always wanted to try needle point! I just never had the patience for it XD
As for Gallio, he's a bit less of part of the gang and much more the main villain of the storyline. He convinces Ruse, the little clown Thalassodromeus, to hunt for him "sacrifices", more or less he's too lazy to fight for himself and opts to hire goons instead. Koen has no relation to him and avoids him when he sees him flying overhead, but Ruse is not as bright as Koen and far more willing to do something for someone if it means a treat or a warm nest to return to.

I just bought some really colorful wool from Grey Fox Felting, highly recommend her. She is one of my favorite felt artist since she does animals with botanical scenes drawn upon them. I specialize in marine life, and once in a while do wiring. But lately been sort of addicted to making comfort plushies.
So he has someone else do his 'hunt' while attempting to convince him how this is friendships work, dark! If I understand that correctly, poor Ruse. How long did you have these characters? For a while now?
I've always wanted to get into it! I have a few friends who dabble in felt and I've always thought it looked super fun! Too bad I have some sensory issues that prevent me from touching certain fabrics. Otherwise, I'd love to participate!
Yes, poor Ruse. He's being half manipulated, half threatened into being a little gang member, and Gallio is just thinking about himself and how hungry he is. He's a sharptooth flyer, so he speaks in riddles and noises instead of full speech, sometimes in threats, but rarely does he speak full fledged, full sentences.

Oh, you have sensory issues, too? It is why I have trouble doing digital sometimes. I end up doing traditional because how I work. Although I am trying again...Just ugh, it is why I couldn't take it professionally despite my skills. Although I went professionally as a painter for pool decks, and so forth, so my art skills aren't wasted...
It isn't the fact my art gets targeted like it did in the past, it is just hard to find people who want to discuss it like they do on here. You create all these characters, yet people don't look at them. Especially if you spent a lot of time trying to design, put a whole story behind them. I finally gave up after trying to present a lot.
So I am being nice and giving a response on your work because that is a lot of effort you are doing, and you deserve it. Honestly. Great designs. Maybe one day I will design something related to LBA perhaps, grew up with it, and owe a lot to it.

Love how Gallio looks! Secretly friends with Pterano? :PteranoPlotting
Poor Ruse indeed. The little guy always remain with the scraps while the boss gets the whole reward with zero effort.

I like top right shot. :O Magnificent and intimidating...

I think he'd honestly scare poor Pterano! He's a bit less self-obsessive and a lot more psychotic/thinks he's a god type mentality. He'd put Pterano in his place and I doubt Pterano would like it >B)
And yes, poor Ruse!! He does his best but he really doesn't like eating meat (or children , for that matter.) He prefers fish far more so than lil longnecks.

Thank you so much!! I really appreciate that!

More OCs! More Sharpteeth! Neat! :bestsharptooth
Hmm... pair of numbskull cousins! Yo-o-o-ou don't mean... :thudLOL :screechconfused
Ughh!!! Mo-o-o-o really love Gallio as a character and your drawings do him quite a lot of justice at just how dangerous and villainous he is! Like I'm kinda rooting for his influence in the story...but Mo-o-o-o also hates meanies and bullies and jerks like him... so yeah, indeed I'm hoping for the day he gets his "just desserts" so to speak.

Hehehe Screech and Thud are absolutely related to these dummies, though Thunder and Spark are more like solo Italian Mobsters rather than underlings to any Sharptooth!
And I'm so glad you like Gallio! He's such a devious sort! He will eventually get whats coming to him, but we shall only see with time! The fanfiction I'm writing about them currently is going very well, though the poll is at a tie XD
-
:screechconfused :thudLOL
Ooooh! I'd love to hear more about your oc!
for short: It's major character for my unfinished fanfic (and I once tried to use him in unfinished roleplay). He's black sharpbeak with yellow eyes, and has a very unusual for his kind behaviour, especially in "studying" leafeaters life. His name is Shade.
