Here she isssss, I love Riptor sm she's so scrungly and sillyyy, I went through an absolute journey with this, which is why I included my practice sketches as a show of how frustrated I got. I kinda had to relearn how to draw dinosaurs, which is gonna serve me well in the future, but absolutely did not serve me well in this moment.
I had probably 2 or 3 moments where I said "fuck it, I'm doing something else" and I'm really glad I stuck it through because I'M SO PROUD OF THISSS WEEEEEEE, it left me pretty mentally exhausted because of a bunch of other outside factors.
I also tried something that I've never really done before, which is a digital background, it looks really bad in some places if you look hard enough (like her teeth in the middle one, jesus christ) but overall I think it turned out alright, it opened the opportunity for quicker background work without sacrificing too much quality. I might add a background to the physical drawing in the future if I ever get the time. This thing absolutely overloaded my brain so I would prefer to not look at it for a very long time

(late post moment lmao) HERE SHE ISSSSSSSSSSSSSS, SO HAPPY WITH HOW THIS TURNED OUT
This is stargazerkittycat's dinosaur sona, Stargazer!! I absolutely love her design, and her colors gave me the opportunity to do something fun and make one side of her light and the other side dark, and I'm SO PROUD OF ITTT WEEEEEEEEEEEE I haven't drawn a dinosaur since I was like 8 years old so I was going completely off the dome for the posing. I tried to reference a 3D model of Blue from Jurassic World but it didn't help very much.
Dino art! Dino Art! I love Dino Art!
This is my character Rootspring, a character in the Primeval Age ARPG

CaelestisHound's (th) Sunset!! I'm really thinking of snatching her up because i loooove spinos and i looove her design but i don't have the funds to justify it right now lol
I found these plastic dinosaur minies and decided to paint them to look like Lucky and Wuerhosaurus from paleo pines & and i will show you all the steps in case you want to do something like this yourself
This was my firs time painting minie figures and i tried using the same techniques people use for DnD figures so you can just look up those tutorials on youtube.
I found these ugly plastic dinosaurs on at a flee market for like 5 hryvnias and this is how they looked before their makeover:
First thing i did was wash them with soap and strip off all the spray paint from them using polish remover/acetone, untill they were this weird yellowish plastic color. (Idk if this step was necessary but i wanted to romoves all the dirt & dust so the paint sticks better)
Then i painted them fully with a dark color. I dont advise using pure black. I used a more dark-ish grey with a bit of blue so the undertone works better.
By the way here are these mfs near a match (for size comparison ofc).
Next i dry-brushed them with a cream color to bring out the texture and leave the dark color in the creases and shadows. I had to go over with a few coats so that they were not too dark.
Fore some reason they made these guys all wrinkly instead of scaly but it did help with the texture lol.
(The more i looked at them the more i saw how weird and inaccurate they are. Still cute though)
And the last steps were to cover them in colorfull washes:
The key is to go slowly, building up the colors layer by layer. I also added a bit of different hues in some places to make the colors less more alive (like a bit of pink on the plates, or some green in certain places idk it just gives more variety to the colors. with out it it the colors look a bit monotonous).
Also, seriously go play the game!!!! it`s just so cute. Dinosaur designs are cutified but still faithfull to how the animal looked according to science (minus the pastel colors lol) and you just know that it was made by true dinosaur lovers.
They do have a tumblr blog at @paleopinesofficial but i see their content more on tiktok

hello tumblr paleoart community. take this abelisaurus profile i did a bit ago - i think the osteoderms are a bit small but thats all lol. i love making dinosaurs rotund .... pure beast shape
This took me days to finish, but boy was it worth it! I wanted to try something different and experiment with things like inking and color theory! I also think it was a good opportunity to draw a dinosaur, who happens to also be a giant monster, and a cityscape scene together! It fills me with such boyish delight!
