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

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

Cute!  :wise

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!

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!

Yeah! Thank you again! I'll be glad to share my progress and the work I've done once I feel I'm ready, probably won't be for quite awhile though. ^^

I enjoy the Grandpa Longneck and Ruse piece. Certainly a more uplifting vibe. :)petrie

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!

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 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.

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

Thank you so much!! I really appreciate that!

Oh no!  :duckyscared
Bad birdie! Bad!

Well done tense scene!

And Spark and Thunder... Don't you have famous eggstealer duo as relatives, by the chance?  :taunttroll :ozzysmug

Edit: btw, Gallio reminds me about my OC a little.

Ooooh! I'd love to hear more about your oc!

And yes, bad bad bird! Don't worry, he'll get his just desserts!

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.
