Why thank you

Hopefully I'll have more to post soon!

Quick color test for a Diplodocus girl whom I'm having trouble naming

Yet another character in the Shorty-centric fanfic that I hope I will some day end up actually writing more of!

Sky · **Reply #122 on:** February 16, 2011, 05:15:35 PM

Awww! She's a cute one!

Any thoughts on how her name could sound? Maybe we can help.

Mumbling · **Reply #123 on:** February 16, 2011, 05:28:22 PM

Neat! I really like the colours on that one!

DarkWolf91 · **Reply #124 on:** February 21, 2011, 11:00:34 AM

Thanks, guys!
Sky, not exactly sure how I'd like her name to be... Maybe something with a 'c,' 'ck,' or long 'i' sound. Hmm, dunno though, really haven't decided.

Another quick color test!
Same girl, with her little brother this time

Nice work Darkwolf!

Sorry for not posting sooner.

Don't let it fool you; I’m really glad to see more artwork from you.

I love the color schemes on both these characters. The spots on the brother are a nice addition.

I also think it’s neat that you put some spines on her back. (Is her brother supposed to have spines, too, or are those bumps on top of the base of his tail just protruding folds of skin?) And as usual, the eyes are so expressive. It looks like the brother’s afraid or reluctant to go somewhere.

Since you stated that these are color tests, I’m not going to bother nitpicking the physical attributes of the characters (unless you’d like me to). The background of the second picture intrigues me, however. Are those dark patches on the rocks meant to be holes, or just shadows of some kind?

I’m having a hard time coming up with name suggestions for a Diplodocus… You could call her “Doca” (although it’s very similarly spelled to “Doc”, even though the ëo’ would be pronounced differently.) Another possibility is “Carnegie”, for Andrew Carnegie, the namesake of Diplodocus carnegii. (Do you have an idea for her brother’s name yet? Maybe you could call him “Andrew”.

)

So, here's a tentative little 'I'm back!' doodle

Had to do a lot of soul-searching and take a long break from most of the world, but I'm probably going to have some form of presence on here in the future

In case anyone's curious, I'm still in Germany right now, but I'm going to be leaving for Afghanistan in a few days :blink:
And Pangaea, thank you for the response! I know it's been ages, I'm sorry

Malte279 · **Reply #128 on:** May 11, 2012, 06:47:31 PM

It's good to see you

How long will you be sent to Afghanistan? After that, will you be back in Germany or back to the United States? Please take great care there. :unsure:

DarkWolf91 · **Reply #129 on:** May 11, 2012, 07:14:20 PM

Thank you

I will likely be sent for ten months, and I will return to Germany for three months afterwards!

Malte279 · **Reply #130 on:** May 11, 2012, 07:42:26 PM

Ten months without interruption?? I was not aware soldiers are sent for so long an uninterrupted time into as dangerous (both physically and psychologically) regions as Afghanistan. Really, please do take great care!

DarkWolf91 · **Reply #131 on:** May 11, 2012, 09:10:58 PM

Units have been sent for as long as fifteen months at a time in the past! Our country's current leadership is attempting to cut back on that, though.
Thank you! I'll take as much care as I can! I'm lucky to have a pretty secure job, most of my time will be spent on base doing helicopter repairs.

Glad to have you back. Hope you continue to visit when you have time. Good luck on your deployment going well.

Pangaea · **Reply #133 on:** May 12, 2012, 01:24:28 AM

DarkWolf, I'm so glad you're back! :! I was beginning to worry that we'd never see you on the forum again!

You're very welcome, in regards to the feedback on your last pictures.

Were my suggestions for names any help? As for the new picture, I'm afraid I can't come up with much to say, other than that the expression is fantastic

(and that however long it took for you to draw, it's a heck of a lot better than anything I could do in the same timeframe

). Of course, since you described it yourself that as just a minor doodle, hopefully my lack of feedback doesn't matter too much in this instance.

So, will we have to wait another ten months to hear from you again, or will you be able to visit the GOF while you're abroad? Either way, it's great to talk to you again, however briefly.

In case I don't get the chance to speak with you again for a while, goodbye!

Good luck, and stay safe in Afghanistan!

Mumbling · **Reply #134 on:** May 12, 2012, 02:43:02 AM

Take care while you're in Afghanistan. I still would love to meet you if you return to Germany, so let me know if I would ever get the chance

Have you been well ? ^^

Seems like you've lost none of your skills at least

Oh, I always end up back here eventually

Yes, they were! I think I might go with 'Andy' and either 'Carrie' or 'Doca' for the girl. Not sure, I think I'll try both of them for a bit and see which one works out better!
Yep, just sort of getting back in the swing of things with this! I haven't drawn in LBT style in quite some time!

We should have internet service, so I'll be able to check back in periodically! Sooner than ten months in any case

Thanks very much!

I've been quite well! And you?
That sounds wonderful! I should have plenty of free time when I get back, and I'm a little more comfortable with the train system now

so I'll let you know!

Mumbling · **Reply #136 on:** May 12, 2012, 02:23:30 PM

I've been well as well! Will be starting my final exams on monday which hopefully lead to my graduation

FreckledOne · **Reply #137 on:** May 12, 2012, 06:11:15 PM

Just looked through all your art, and I like what I see!
You really seem to have an understanding of the way the characters are put together and the ability to apply it to drawing original characters. I hope to see more pictures from you in the future!

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it

I intend to post more frequently, so hopefully that works out

Nice pictures!It's amazing how you can draw any kind of dinosaur in LBT style.The last one look very good too.Did you make it with paint,or something like GIMP?I think a little blur on it would make it even better,but i rarely draw anything,so i can be wrong.
