I did a character portrait for a Star Wars TTRPG game I'm playing with friends and family. I had fun with it and wanted to share it.

More dinosaurs soon, I promise.

Here are some of the work in progress stages for this piece, starting with sketches and progressing as color and texture were applied, also egg goop.

Megaloceros giganteus, also known as the Irish Elk. Standing 7 feet at the shoulder with antlers as wide as 12 feet across, it was one of the largest deer species in existence.

A truly awesome site during the #IceAge.

My version here is a bit more embellished, but that is an actual thing with horns and in particular Woolly Rhino horns. It has to do with how they grow, structures layering on top of each other and pushing out.

I watched the first episode of #PrehistoricPlanetIceAge, I loved it. It's amazing to see these animals portrayed in such a realistic fashion. 🦏

If you haven't seen the latest episode of Animalogic they discuss the history of debate and the evidence for something the size of #Quetzalcoatlus being able to fly.

Check it out here: youtu.be/xQ3qQ2XjX8s?si…

I was happy to provide some of my art to this one.

If you have some free time, take a walk on the beach with Kentrosaurus... just be sure to walk closer to the front than the back.

All I know is it was one of those dreams that I wish I could fall back into and continue after suddenly waking up, but dreams aren't that simple. I sadly can't rely on the story continuing where I left off.

I had a dream last night that I saw a small family of Woolly Mammoths🦣 walking through my back yard and I failed to take a picture in time because I couldn't get my shoes tied fast enough to follow them.

It's not on the level of bullshit that Adobe put me through, but it is still some grade A, premium gold standard bullshit.

I keep seeing that I have Clippy that is going to get deleted if I don't use it. They give you too much with your membership, most of the useful brushes and other assets that are good are free anyway.

It definitely could, I love GW2, but there are obviously areas I wish they could spend more time on.

I love the stalls and the little details in Kaineng, I still wish they were a little more interactive, but they all look great!

Making of | "Terrible Lizards"

Almost as good as David James Armsby's incredible animations are his "making of" videos for each one of the Saurian series.
