Stegotyranno's Art

[Stegotyranno420]

Thanks, Reuben, so anyways:

Alioramus: He reminds the barren Nemegt dwellers who are in charge. He is not like most of the theropods. This specimen lives up to the pop-culture stereotype of carnivores: a hyper-aggressive killer. Something is wrong with his brain, maybe a saurian equivalent of rabies. But what we do know that he is very territorial, and will try to kill anything that comes near him. The mother Mononykus from earlier almost died because of this savage beast. But not all carnivores are like that.


Speculative "deinocheirus": So this one is just a doodle. Originally i was gonna make it a realistic,  not very speculative Deinocheirus, but for some reason, i decided to add a lot of features(like those on reptiles and birds) until it was unrecognizable. So yeah.


Edmontosaurus and Adopted Rexy: This little running creature may be a carnivorous tyrannosaur preying on an E.Regalis. But this Rexy(basically a tyrannosaurus cub) was accidentally adopted by this social hadrosaur. Hadrosaurs have a complex social structure, and parenting is important. While it seems almost impossible for a "ferocious"(well, sometimes) beast to be adopted by a "feeble" (yeah right) herbivore, but this happened many times. So maybe this Rexy 's egg got mixed up in a E. Regalis nesting ground, and was raised. Off course, it still eats meat, but only things like lizards, small dinosaurs, mammals, and insects as shown here, as his father it somewhat startled by his rather fast movement during a migration

Bonus: A random lizard i drew

Tyrannosaurus Rex: just a portrait, testing out a new art style

[Reuben03]

all so so good.
dude its actually crazy how similar your art is to mine when i was your age.
keep it up!!

[Stegotyranno420]

Okay, I got a question for y'all. Should i post my short films here or in a seperate thread. They are distinct enough to be counted as something else but im not sure.

Juvenile spinosaurus digital painted portrait:


Also, how can i improve my art? And should i also show my animations?

[Reuben03]

it looks awesome haha, and yeah i'd like to see em

[Gothmog the Baryonyx]

That looks very nice, I can see the juvenile in it

[Stegotyranno420]

New sketches. Also, can I have some suggestions on how to improve on artwork and how to attract more audiences? That will really help 

Styracosaurus of the Museum: At the Purtuanvile Museum, people look at the new Styracosaurus model that has been long-awaited. To your left, a man named Stephen Mikael, a teacher descended from Eastern European immigrants, is showing his daughter Leela Mikael the Styracosaurus and its body structure and the choices that were made while sculpting. You see, Stephen is also a hobby paleoartist, and he helped the local Museum build the model using his skills and knowledge. He hopes to one day he will sculpt scientifically accurate animal figures for children and adults alike, but Leela, while having virtually no interest in dinosaurs, loves birds and sketching, and she hopes she can help her father. Nearby they is Kristaan Jazzui, an old man of Peruvian and Slavic descent. He loves dinosaurs too because they remind him of the tribal stories of thundering monsters and beast who terrorized the planet years ago. While he doesn't understand science, he always likes to listen to paleontologist give lectures about these gigantic and awe-inspiring creatures, it makes him feel at peace and forget about all of his problems, such as his homelessness, his sickness, or his lost family. On the other side of the statue is Jaden Vargas-Quimby. Jaden is a teen who loves photography, and he is a very extroverted person. He is known to have made introverts feel at home in social places. All through the love of dinosaurs. When he was 6, his mom and dad divorced, which scarred him for life. But he found happiness while playing with these strange dragon toys he got from a friend. He later learned they weren't just any dragons, but real dragons that actually once existed called dinosaurs. Now he is 22, and he does digital art and photography, and he is overall fun and cool dude. He also saved many folks from depression and suicide, children, teens, adults, and seniors alike. Today, after the Museum closes, all of these mentioned people are meeting with the Curator for the design of a new exhibit...(all of this is just a fictional story however, just an allegory that shows how people can help others and be good spirits through a common interest, like dinosaurs )


Dimorphodon and Fish: There he sits on the rocky surface of the monolith near the beach. The strange and loud cry of other Dimorpodonts can be heard by the beach. This one here is an extremley large male, and he is quite elder too. He has fought many battles, and never lost, and right now, he is almost losing to a dead fish. What seems like the devils Puffin-Lizzard crunching a poor fish is actually a Old pterosaur choking on a fish of somesort. I guess the Dimorphlings are gonna need a better role model.

Sorry guys, no stories for these ones, but next week those story-telling drawings will comeback

Acrocanthosaurus:


Epicyon:


What do you guys want to see, i want to please my audience as much as possible
also which style do you prefer, the monochromatic highly detailed sketches or the digital version.
And should i post my repaints too?

[Reuben03]

That Acrocanthosaurus is Gorgeous!

[Bread]

I really like your drawings! My favorite is the Styracosaurus, quite rare to see anyone draw animals that are featured in museums/exhibits, probably why I like it so much! Keep up the great work!

[Stegotyranno420]

Thank you @Bread  and @Reuben03
Heres an Anchiornis: Drawing animals like Sinosauropteryx, Anchiornis, and Pssitacosaurus is more like drawing modern animals than dinosaurus. There is not alot of room for our minds to go speculative and wild. Like you would not draw a jaguar with a crest and red fur with blue stripes, and a puffy end on its tail, you will draw it like a jaguar.



Also, how can i improve my art.
Aswell as which style is better, on paper sketch, or digital, or animated?

[Stegotyranno420]

I got a big and important question. How do I prevent my sculptures cracking and breaking. It happens all the time. I nearly lost interest in sculpting multiple times due to this

[Shonisaurus]

@Stegotyranno420 The anchiornis has been superbly very good, honestly it is perhaps the best drawing that I see on your blog, it has been great.

When it comes to improving your art. I give you some advice, it is to continue working as in the intellectual study is to sit down and get to work with the continued work as with the study you will achieve all your goals. Like someone who advised me a friend years ago, it is to sit down and get to work at study time and the same can be said about other things.

[Gothmog the Baryonyx]

Your Anchiornis is lovely, and so is your tail-less Diplocaulus, very nice

If you are still using sculpey but are not able to bake it to harden it, that is probably the reason your sculptures are cracking. I think any sculpting material that cannot be used properly is going to cause problems. You've never explained why you cannot bake it. Have you tried a hair dryer or heat gun which will at least harden the outside layer?

Maybe using a stronger wire for you armatures would help, but have you got the tools to cut and bend strong wires?

If you're using foil to bulk out your armatures make sure it is squeezed tightly, so it won't flex when you put clay on it.

Have your armature wires fixed to a base, like a block of wood, and hold that, not the sculpture itself.

[Stegotyranno420]

@Shonisaurus thank you, i will take your advice to heart
@Gothmog the Baryonyx im glad you love it, alot of my art was made to impress people with relativley different opinions. For example, since i have been doing this January Art session, i found feathered and birdlike more interesting(of course, i will always love the big and "bad" theropods more, but i used to find these little feathered ones boring, but now they are fun to draw)
@Justin_ thanks. The reason i cant bake is because i dont have a oven. I thought boiling would work but it didnt. After reading your words, i realized i made alot of mistakes. First of all, i only used foil as armature, no base, no wires. Im planning to try the heat gun or hairdryer techniqe once the sculpt is done, but that could take months at this rate. I began my lilliensternus in february of 2020, now its almost been a year But you know what they say, practice makes excellent
