The DODOSAURUS lived during the late Triassic period when dinosaurs ruled the earth with the average brain size of a peanut. This peaceful carnivore spent most its time roaming the desert lands of what is now South America hunting mice and various rodents. It wasn't until the reptile was discovered by early prehistoric humans that this majestic creature became a valuable and easily hunted food source until it was eventually hunted to extinction. ☠☠☠
RIP Dodosaurus
Inktober 2020, Day 25: "Buddy".
I thought what better match for the prompt than Stanley Stegosaurus, which my parents got to me when we moved to the US, when I was six. Stanley was a good buddy to me, when I didn’t understand at first the weird language spoken by those American kids. It has also been a good buddy to me during this weird pandemic time, when my IRL social life seems to be limited to maybe meeting one person once a month.
Brush pens and posca on coloured A4.
Some recent dinosaur doodles inspired by the game Joe & Mac (caveman ninja) for snes/arcade. Drawn online at Magma.com using ipad pro (no Ai and no pressure sensitivity).
I named it "fictional dinosaur" to cover that I'm not able to manage proportions and perspective of a real T-Rex. Naming can be as powerful as a pen :-)
Due to financial/logistical reasons, I can't do literal linocuts as often as I'd like, so I draw my illustrations in reverse, flip them digitally, have them printed, and then color them in by hand. The result is basically an "artist's print". I only make one of each. These were watercolor, but I've recently discovered gouache, so keep an eye out for future pieces that incorporate that.
Today is Draw a Bird Day. I drew an archaeopteryx, the first bird. And Might Could Draw Today's prompt is frog. So I drew a frog too. This picture makes me happy. Don't worry, the frog gets away and the dinosaur finds something else to eat. ^_~
It's a worry when you have a chat with a child about dinosaurs and they say they should skateboard, but have their baseball cap turned backwards and have sunglasses on and only skate on one leg, cause I can see that straight in my mind and I couldn't resist making a little mascot logo design of a Diplodocus riding a skateboard. The only thing I couldn't work out is how to make him do the thumbs up sign, cause Diplodocus' don't have thumbs! Maybe I should go back to the drawing board with the thumb idea, but this was so much fun to get down and design. The kid loved it, so next time I go over to see her mum and dad it looks like I'll be doodling dinos doing all sorts of things!
Claire here with another species I designed! This is a digital drawing of what I call a Gormadon. It's likeness is most like a bear, but it has spikes and frills kind of like a dragon or dinosaur. I imagine this species to be quite big if it were real. Perhaps about the size of an adult elephant. Thanks for checking it out and please drop a like if you liked it. *Please do not copy or claim this species as your own. It is not allowed in any circumstance*
