The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

First Pokemon, then Ponies, now Dinosaurs

Ducky123: You tell me you don't want to appear like a Ducky Nerd? I don't believe you. :D

Rhombus: Ducky with a sugar rush? Hm..I'm suddenly thinking about this. :D

Dalekdino: Funny looking teeth? In which way exactly? Like, weird shading or something?
Also, yeah, might have been you. I have a "screenshot folder" with LBT pictures on my computer and this was in it. ;)

To all of you: Thanks for the comments. :)
And now Ducky turned kind of green. Doesn't mean she's sick though. :D

The drawing is quite fitting to my situation...I want to go swimming in the red sea NAOW! :D

Well, don't know what else to add (it's not about words here anyway, so...)

Hope you like it. :)

Edit: Wohoo, Post 151! I call these - Posts. :D

What I ment was the teeth looked a little dodgely drawn then they do in the actual shot.

Apart from that as usual good sketch and looks 10 times  better with colour.

So, I'm back after more than one month of no updates. I have some sketches that still wait to be done and finished another drawing a few days ago (will be in my 2nd art thread when I'm done with this post), but being busy with photography again I don't have that much time anymore.

But since I had the time today (because I forgot to bring the fotos with me I should work on xD) I did this:

Shaded Version will be done as soon as I'm able to get to it.

Hope you like it :)

To the three of you: Thank you. :D

And now something just in general: I'm active in three communities, this one included, and I show my stuff in all of them. This one is as far as I know by far the smallest one, going by number of active members, but also the one where I get most of my feedback and comments.

That's pretty cool. :D
Thanks to everyone who once left a comment in this thread.

And now...there's a reason why I'm posting again already. Seems I actually had the time I needed, even with going to one of the big fairground we have in Germany this afternoon (was awesome and I went on some crazy rides).

This also showed me how far I have come with art stuff already. While I really had a hard time adding highlights and shading to pixel art a few months ago, this...was actually easy to me. I just knew where what had to go where and suddenly I was done.
I'm usually never one to tell myself "good job", but it's always nice when you notice improvement yourself.

Hope you like it. :)

Thanks again for those comments. :)

And while I don't actually have something new, I have something I can show you.

Today I wen't into a store and wohoo, they had LBT4 on DVD (my favourite sequel) and I took it with me. But when I looked at the cover...let's just say it's pretty bad here in Germany. And while I successfully found a large enough version of the original cover to print, I thought that it might be a shame to leave the insides white (they were already to begin with).

So some minutes in Photoshop later I had this:



And if the disk is removed it looks like this:



Now why am I even showing this? Because I wouldn't mind sharing the print file for this one, if the interest is there. :)

If you want it for your own copy of LBT4 (or any other movie of course) just send me a pm and you'll get a link to the picture.

I still have to make some adjustments to this since I had to cut away some parts from the print (not really much but still, if I'm going to give this to you, I want it to be as good as possible). I'll get to that tomorrow, and as soon as it's done, I can send it out.

The only thing I'm asking for:

Please keep the link I'm giving to yourself.

I'd rather send this to all the members here than have it running around on the internet for everyone to get it. ;)

And if I notice a certain level of interest, who knows, I might make some more cover insides if I feel like it. :)

That's it then.

Oh, I forgot: If you're in the GoF Skype Chat, you can ask me there if you want, since I recently joined. I read through all the new messages when there are some. ;)

Oh so the 4th film is your favorite sqeaul too. :) I like this very creative. Also if I had this DVD box I smirk every time I removed the dish and saw Ali looking likes she's puckering up! XD

Thanks for the two comments. :)

Some time ago I read a certain chapter in the fanfic Shorty's Dark Past
Shorty's Dark Past by Ducky123 and came across a scene that just screamed at me: Draw Me! :D

And here it is now.

Not much to say here I guess except two things:

Shorty's Dark Past is really worth reading. :D

I finished another fanart today (coming right after this one in my 2nd thread) plus a photo for a book cover plus the whole layout for that book as well. And now I'm ready to hit the bed. xD

Hope you like it. :)

Oh, I LOVE it! :D I love my own written work getting some fanart at last (since I'm terrible at drawing original artwork :p) Thanks for that!

Ducky123: Like you already know, your fanfic gave me even another idea to draw something. We'll see when I get to that.^^

Thanks for the comments. ;)

And I got around to add some colors to my latest LBT drawing.

Anyone here noticing something that's quite off? If someone does, I'll explain it. :D
You can thank Ducky123 for that, and I think it's pretty funny. xD

Hope you like it, and I'll get to the colored version of the newest drawing in my other thread as soon as I know if I should use special colors. ;)

Reminds of me when I get ANY bug on me....
OR see a big cricket...I'm afraid they'll hop on me...I'll admit, I'm afraid of large bugs.

LOL It's like a dinosaur version of Misty from pokemon! XD

Littlefoot: It's ok Ali, it's more scared of you then you are of it.

If this was in my human LBT world I can see Ali making one of those silly OTT anime scared faces.

CeraTheRed: In my case, it's more like, the bigger the better. Of course I'm not running towards anything that can be unpleasant or even deadly (as a kid I probably would've done xD there was that one time with a viper, but nothing happened).
I love these animals and probably will have a tarantula someday. :D

Dalekdino: Misty Dinosaur Version...that's pretty much it. xD

About what is off here..it might not be a part of the drawing itself. :D
