Spent more time on this than I would have liked, but that was because after 90 min my first pterosaur design was dull as poop. : (

Looking forward to seeing what gets made today!

Arteater: Nice, and you got some orthos done too!

silentbrain: Nice contrast, you design is awesome as well,brilliant vibrant colors

[sugarfrostedhate]

This is my pterosaur. He has a sort of exaggerated head I guess, but I like the shape of it. I imagined him walking something akin to gorillas, and I added nasty raptor claws to help him catch fish.

Arteater, silentbrain, and Mitze, your posts are unto a gawd.

[Xezor1324]

Meh, not very fantastical, but oh well. Prismacolor markers and technical pen.

1 hour in photoshop. The first thing I thought of after seeing the subject is actually an armless dragon :P

[Hamorhage]

just a wip, because i think it has some potential...I'll comment on the works later and probably update the image if I chose to work on it further...

great work y'all specially arteater, Peg and Silentbrain.

[sugarfrostedhate]

Oh Peg, that is so rad. I love his tiny little legs!

[ramonsk8]

Wow, MoHog, your Pterodactyl face is looking so cool! It scares me!

[Octorok]

Okay. Sorry about my last post. Turns out that my monitor's settings were jacked up. Here's what it's supposed to look like:

I went for that theoretical link between Pterosaur and Archeopterex... Diving for prey perhaps. Skin tones are what I think would be possible for flying reptiles, similar to modern attack aircraft, drab earth tones on top to avoid being pounced by aerial predators, and lighter, sky tones on bottom to avoid being seen by prey! Something seen in dolphins, fish, and some aquatic animals and birds, and probable for pre-historic earth beasts; or more fantastic creatures on other worlds...

[MoHog]

thnks ramonsk8 :). i really wanted it as a pic rather thn link, is there a certain size it needs to be or summin to show up?

[Cryoxzonomony]

since cant use attachments in this so in photobucket you see those linking codes on right of the pic when its shown or below the pic if youre in gallery, click the IMG CODE and it copies the link automatically then just paste it on the text and youll have the pic showing

[MoHog]

thank u very much.

[Hamsta]

jan3ll3 You're crazy in the best possible way ;)
Turning your bird into a dino gave it some fun colors and texture, and I like how the composition work.
It could use some cleaning up, I think there's a little too much going on, line-art wise.
The velociraptor thing is even better, even thought you cheated (tut-tut) too bad I can't read your little blurbs.
