An Allosaurus that I painted for the BF. It's pretty much his favorite dino.
It has some issues anatomy wise... The arms are too large and too humanoid... and I tried to make some of the colors fun rather than totally practical. It just sortof happens as you're painting, youknow?
But drawing dinosaurs is fun and I might do more in the future and try for a more realistic look.

"A more realistic look"
Pft
YOU HAVE HIGH STANDARDS
;--;
That being said, my highest compliments to you, my good sir. B3 This looks excellent. I really admire the work traditional artists can do with good ol' paint on paper! It's a far stretch from what I can do with, you know, a modern computer. It fascinates me to no end and really mystifies me in a sort of fantastic way.
Cheers!

oh wow, thank you x3 I say 'more realistic look' because artists who literally only draw dinosaurs REALLY know their anatomy, and i didnt want to attract too much criticism for something that I know so little about!
and I admire digital artists a lot, because that medium usually escapes my understanding.

I wish I knew much about animal anatomy at all. D: It's something that I really need to practice.
Digital art is so hard, but my girl is a traditional artist who uses her tools really well, so I can usually get advice from her about how to use my own tools. For instance, recently I wanted to learn how to digital paint, but all the SAI tutorials are terrible... so, she just taught me her traditional painting knowledge, and it turned out to translate pretty well. o-o
When it comes to different media, I guess we just have to adapt.
