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
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. ) At first I thought that the rock formations surrounding Pterano and making up the horizon were clouds, 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"
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
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 (
... 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
