Looking at @lewislarosa’s Parasaurolophus comic pages reminded me of my love for form, volume, and mass in drawing, and it reminded me of the artist whose art I really studied as a child: John Sibbick. His use of light to evoke form is a major influence on my art.
Some raw photos of two of the three drawings I picked at this last week. I decided to warm up by inking over a now forgotten species of fossil archosaur (can anyone ID this?), and testing out a brush pen by drawing a fish based on Poraspis. #SciArtSeptember . Enjoy!
An updated head reference for my sweetheart @Drachenblut10 . Thanks for pushing me to finish this.
I find it fascinating how the original material for Meraxes can be rearranged in such subtle but notable ways. Makes reconstruction a minor frustration, but that is how paleoart be. The original paper reconstruction appears the most consistent (which is good).
I am both, but my audience is split into two. Making cohesive content for both audiences is an intriguing but frustrating task, as I hate disappointing either group.
I've noticed that I have almost two sides to my art. I have the super reserved, scientific aspect that has all of the wildlife studies and paleoart, and then there is the fantasy side where I paint dragons and horror and creatures, the community not quite 'furry' but scaly.
Happy Birthday, @Drachenblut10 - you are now no longer a dragon, but a spiny lobster dragon. You are now 90% barbel.
The Carcinization has begun.
Can't believe that I made this. I just work well with blues, greys, and browns, I guess.
