First piece of concept art for my dinosaur game in development!



Tallin

More models! This is the current progress on my Massospondylus. The creature will hopefully be one of the npcs in my Triassic based dinosaur computer game that I hope to be developing next year.

An excellent rendering, we are very impressed.

I love your actual pen/pencil 2D sketch work, that artistic talent should serve you well with your computer work since you obviously already know perspective, shading and composition. Mind you that computer stuff is all black magic to me.

Nicely done!

The mood really comes through in your painted work.

I've decided to have a shot at the '30 day dino drawing challenge' here:

Day 1: Favourite therapod (I couldn't pick a favourite so just drew one I liked! A strutting male Coelophysis ~)


DinoLord

Very nice! I always love to see artists doing these sorts of challenges.


Tallin

Day two - favourite sauropod (again I couldn't chose so picked one I don't often see in art or models!)
Shunosaurus:

I love this one, did you literally just do it now?

Tallin

I did it last night in about an hour - then I tough it up a bit in adobe photoshop :)

Very cool!  I may have to commission an Allosaurus from you at some point if interested. :)  Was the blurring on the tail tip on purpose? I've always liked the camera focus feel. Artist Donna Braginetz was the first one I saw that used it..beautiful art there.

Tallin

That would be brilliant! And yes, I purposely blurred the tail club to make it look like it was swinging closer to the viewer - as in real life I'm pretty sure the club was much smaller in proportion to the body...

Ah I had a feeling..very well done!

Have you tried making a head looking closer to the viewer but the body blurred in the background?

Reminds me of the Troodon made by Geoworld

Great illustration, very impressive.

Not yet! That's a great idea to try though and next him I draw a likely dinosaur I'll give it a go!
