Thank you! Yeah I may animate it at some point. I planned to but I don't feel like rigging right now so I just did a still render. I'm not sure which characters you're referring to, lol. Amaruuk is a solar/creation deity based on Microraptor, the other recent fella has changed a lot over time but has meandered between several influences such as lions, lizards, DnD metallic dragons, various horned ungulates... I guess that's mostly it.
The rest of my work, some of it has direct influence and some doesn't.
Guard of the East Tower is based on a green anole lizard on the windowsill of my old apartment at the time I painted it.
Vusuuk is Amaruuk's shadow and is based on some extinct terrestrial crocodylomorphs like Kaprosuchus.
Micronaptor is a napping Microraptor because of course.
Chickensaurus is a thing all the paleoart people were doing on Twitter a while back based on someone's idea of genetically bringing back specific traits of non-avian dinosaurs (long tail, teeth, etc.) in chickens which is at best, a terrible idea.
Truth of the Mind was based on something I drew in a dream, and I based the head on a heron's.
Cloud Dancer wasn't based on any animal in particular, but rather
this speedpaint which itself was based simply on the prompt "Whimsical Creature." The not-several-years-old piece of pixel art is just straight up Deinonychus, and of course the paleo portraits are just the actual extinct species.
I hope somewhere in all that rambling was the answer to your question! X3
