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

Say, Cancerian Tiger! Are you there? What’s your critique?

I'm here, alright!  Obviously my "Cera Radar" was set off :lol.

Well, there's nothin' further I can add besides what you've said in your post.  If those corrections were to be made, this adult version of Cera ould look perfect, not to mention pretty :smile.

Hmm...I could see her reaction now if she heard me (or anybody else) say that :!  :lol.

Alriiight! :) Let's give it another try:

Littlefoot's eyes are now slightly larger and his snout slightly longer, but you can see the changes very hard. :P:
I also made his tail a little thinner. :)


For Cera, I made her head a little larger and shortened her snout a bit.
Her tail is set a little higher and her feet are now "rounder". And I think I know what you meant about her innermost toes, Pangaea so I "removed" that little bit of skin.
If it's not the case, please tell me. :unsure:


Now for Petrie...
The top of his beak is now the same height as his eyes and I made his head less rounder.
His arms are now slightly thinner as well as his hands and more pointed. :)
I modified his chest and stomach a bit and added a line that connects his stomach with his left leg. :yes
His toes are much longer now too.  :lol:


Phew... if this goes on, I'll never be able to work on the comic. XD

If most of your pictures aren't uploaded on DeviantArt, then where do you upload them, like you poster for The Land Before Time: Dawn of a Wingtail. I've checked DeviantArt, it's not there. I'm not planning on stealing your art, I'm just wondering.

Note: I'd only use someone else's art with permission, ignore what happened at the ice age fanart section, Gloverboy21 never told me about that one.

It's either on DevianArt or here at the GOF. I don't upload LBT art elsewhere. ;)
And there is also no poster for Dawn of a Wingtail.

Hello:
 It is somehwat common to get to see the Gang at a somewhat older age, but it must be challenging indeed. I really like how Cera turned out and petrie is very cool too, he is beggining to look a bit more like Pterano with some things of Petrie's mother too, but that is because they are all relatives so the genes are like the same :DD .

So? What about my signature?  :huh:

@Chiletrek
It is indeed hard. D:
I thought it's going to be easy but I totally underestimated it.  :p

The picture in your signature. What is the website that is uploaded on, because it's not on deviant art?

You can find out the exact place it has been uploaded by right clicking on the picture and going to 'Properties' Scratte.

The location of the file should be found under the URL section  :smile

It’s very subtle, but I think you succeeded in making Littlefoot’s face look older. :yes And I see you added the stripe on the underside of his tail, too. I might suggest making it a little longer (in adult longnecks it extends at least halfway down the tail), and I think the tail itself could be stand to be even narrower, especially the area between the tip and the portion you already changed.

Cera’s face, too, is subtly improved. She does look younger. I admit I had to look at both the old and new versions of Cera in quick succession to notice the alteration to her tail, :oops but that looks better as well. And it looks like you knew exactly what I was talking about with her feet. They look much, much better. :wow I’d say they’re close to perfect. The one thing I might possibly change is the innermost toe on her left front foot, which should maybe be shortened a little bit from beneath in order to match the inner toe on her right front foot, which is largely hidden behind the others. (My fault for not thinking to point that out before. :oops)

Every change you made to Petrie is a definite improvement, :yes the hands, head, beak, chest, and stomach most noticeably. I particularly like how you changed his fingers. By the way, what I liked about his neck ruff in the first picture you made of him was the fact that it curved and tapered downward slightly at the pointed part, with a more prominent line above that point connecting to his neck, that gave it a puffy appearance. (Another thing I should have specified earlier. :oops)

Are you planning to do new older versions of Ruby, Chomper, Ducky, and/or Spike? :)



Pronounced "pan-JEE-uh". Spelled with three A's. Represented by a Lystrosaurus.

As I really appreciate your feedback Pangaea, I'll probably stop drawing refined pictures of Littlefoot, Cera and Petrie as well as newer versions of the others.  :)

I actually wanted to know on how the gang should look like as teens with your suggestions (not only yours Pangaea, but also suggestions from others :)). Now that I know HOW they should look like, I'll start working on the 'Dawn of a Wingtail'-comic.

I'm sure you know that drawing a comic is not easy to accomplish, especially keeping their looks the same (meaning that on every panel, they look slightly different than on previous panels :p).

Try to not get to hung up on making your characters look exactly the same.  Just do your best.

I agree with Kor, it dosen't matter if you characters look the same, as long as you can do you best. I do the same thing when I draw, I don't care how the picture comes out, as long as it looks good or the best I can do.

Hello:
 I also agree with Kor, because I know how challenging is to make a good pic, so  Ican imagine how can be to make a comic.
 But Sky, since you have an already defined style, it should not be very hard to accomplish a comic, even though we know you have made attempts before, I am sure you have gained more experience, and that will sure help you. So keep it up!

He also didn't have me inspiring him to higher and higher feats of artistry.  :lol

I hope too see the first page of this comic really soon.

Just a quick pic of Lima, the little Spinosaurus ;)



(Used a screenshot as a background because I was too lazy :oops)
Wanted to see how she would look like in full color. :D Now, I shall go back to work. :angel
Thanks again, Pangaea, for coming up with some names for her.  :)

That is cute! And the color of her reminds me of my walls..... :D

Seriously, My room has two colors which are the same as hers o.O

Great job Sky!

Wow! Just plain wow!
Shadowing, lighting, expression, background... I wish I could say anything more constructive and helpful but in this picture everything seems just perfectly right
 :yes
An awesome job Sky and no mistake!

Oh my god, she is so pretty!  :oops

Lima is going straight onto my desktop  :lol

As far as the art goes the best part of the entire picture is her face.  Perfect facial expression that captures the essence of the character in a single glance.

I can see definately similarities to Ruby in her design, though the body looks different enough with the fin and the stripes pattern to create a completely different character.

I'm curious to hear what her personality is, and how she is involved with Chomper or the rest of the gang.  Juding from her posture though, I can see there may be a conflict between her and Ruby in one form or another.

Were it up to me, I would probably make Lima the friend that encourages Chomper to do dangerous and sharptoothy things, while Ruby might dislike her because she is concerned only with keeping Chomper safe.  Meh... I think I've done far too much interfering already with Sky's characters, so by all means don't listen to me!  :angel
