Tallin's Palaeoart and Sculpts

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

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

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

Always fun to play with perspective!

[Tallin]

It certainly is!

Here's day three: favourite ornithopod: Olorotitan

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

A very interesting hadrosaur..one I may tackle one day here at the Park. I think Corythosaurus is next though after the Anatotitan/Edmontosaurus.

Why Corythosaurus?   How about Velafrons, something Obscure for your visitors

Day 4 - overall favourite dino! Suchomimus for me!



The hands are pretty messed up...I was struggling to draw them from this perspective

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

Ah! My 2nd favorite dinosaur! Looks awesome!

I think the hands wouldn't be noticeable really, but if you can try getting a figure like the WS Suchomimus and try looking at the hands from the angle you want to draw them. Really helps especially on difficult perspective points.

[Tallin]

That is a good idea...I was using various pieces of palioart for reference but it's hard to find an image with the right perspective so I'll definitely try using my models more from now!

[Tyto_Theropod]

Wow, your palaeoart is amazing! You really have got a nack for breathing life into these long-extinct animals. It makes my drawings look cartoony in comparison... need to practice more

[Tallin]

Thank you so much! I'm always saying the opposite to my friend though, to me, their more cartoony style has a life and energy of it's own and I find my work lacks energy most of the time, so it's all relative! Besides, everyone has their own unique style!

Top quality Suchomimus artwork!

Day 5 - Graciliraptor!

I'm pretty sure that the proportions are off here making her look too chunky...then again, I have a nasty flu type bug right now so I think I have an excuse...

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

It's pretty difficult to make something look realistic and give it a personality..a lot of it is in the eyes. I think your pretty close to achieving both.

[Tallin]

And day six - Psittacosaurus!

[Tallin]

And here is day 7 - a Miragaia in a speculative sleeping position.

[DinoLord]

Nice - never seen a sleeping stegosaur illustration before!

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

Interesting. I've always just see them hunkered down on all fours to rest/sleep. The pose might be possible but it looks uncomfortable.. lol

[Tallin]

Yeah, I started off by basing it on sleeping elephants, who kind of half lie on their sides. Sort of half-way between lying on their side and on their belly.
I imagined that the shoulder spike on the other side would be just about resting on the ground rather than skewering into it...

At least if it's not muddy they wouldn't get stuck...lol  I'd say when it comes to sleeping it's  another position stegosaurs would have it ease into I imagine. heh

[Tallin]

Yep, any I have no idea how they'd even begin to deal with mating haha.
So awkward and spiny.

But I guess you could say the same about hedgehogs and thorny dragon lizards...
