Critter Concept: Monster Dino

I know he looks cute, but trust me, get too close and he’ll bite your hand off!

This adorably fierce little dinosaur is the first in a series of critters that Sarah and I designed last year. Sarah started the designs with her Sketchbook Pro roughs, then I swooped in with my Flash versions, where I added some monstrous “bling” like spikes and claws, etc., and finished it off with color.

I don’t know about you, but I think this little guy would make a great pet.

Fun Art Fridays: Dinosaur Dragon

I play a drawing game with my boyfriend when we're at a restaurant. When we have a white place mat, he makes sure to scribble a line or shape on on it that I have to figure out how to turn into a drawing. That is how this adorable dinosaur/dragon character came to be:



I liked the drawing so much I later took it into Flash and cleaned it up with color.



I'm not sure why the fella is looking at a map or why he's looking at us over his shoulder, but the expression and pose is so cute to me!

Fun Art Fridays: Angry Dino!

Here’s another critter concept I recently drew… well, maybe he’s more of a monster than a critter. In any case, the original sketch of this bad boy (see below) was one of numerous proposed styles we came up with for a recent client project. This particular look wasn’t chosen, but instead of letting him disappear into the vast cavern of my unused sketches, I decided to have some fun and try painting him. My peeps know I normally like to ink my art, but I’m trying to expand my horizons a bit. So here you have it… one angry dinosaur digitally painted in Photoshop, sans any ink lines.

I think he turned out pretty sweet! I’ll definitely be playing around with more digital painting in the future, so stay tuned… ;)
