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

I'm certain that something like this has been done before. I didn't place this in the "fanart" section because the base images used are not, strictly speaking, Land Before Time media. The drawings I add to this, however. Are. I don't know how many of these I can make, and unless I get my own photos or a copyright free/copyright usable with attribution image, I cannot post these on DA, per their policies. I can however, post them to photobucket and link them here! XD

Here is a pic of Chomper standing on some grass, from the bottom up. You can't see very much of him, save his legs and feet. Still, that was the effect I was going for. These are made using layers on paint.net.





Here's a ghostly image of Tria on the same spot



The normal image, below.

Not too bad.  How are you drawing the characters if I may ask?

Using paint.net for the more recent one with chomper. I use a wacom tablet for some of the lines, but, due to my inexperience with it, most lines are still drawn with the touchpad on my laptop. I'll phase the tablet in more as time goes by. The seamless or near-seamless merging of the images is done using layers and, in the case of "ghost Tria", the transparency settings on the layer.

"Not too bad" is high praise coming from you, Petrie!  :lol Thanks for the interest.  :D

Here's another one. This one might be a bit "imperfect" due to my lack of time to spend on it when I made it.  :lol

Another version may come.

This one's linework was made using a scene from the 11th movie as a guide.

Here's one with Pterano. He was supposed to be lovestruck at the sight of a female flyer, or at least attracted to her, but I don't think I pulled that off quite right.



And yes, this was made with a movie shot as a reference, a tablet, paint.net , plus a background from the real world.
