The render you did and placed in your signature is awesome. I can just picture is gliding/swaying back and forth in the wind. :) The "characters" is such a neat concept, how did you come up with the design? Is it based on multiple animals (I pick up a lot of bird/allosaurus/squamata concepts in your art).

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

Yes, I am a professional artist, though this is just personal work here. Thank you!

Also, new things! A paleo portrait and some quickie revisits of super old characters.

This is amazing, wow. Just. Wow. You are so talented and skilled, at least from what this super non-art knowledgeable person can see :3

This is particularly soothing:

Is there any chance I could crop that face and use as an avatar here on PC at some point? I would credit you and even link to this thread in my signature, if you like. It's just so cute somehow, and I love the colors.

Oh, thank you! And while I appreciate you asking, that one has a lot of personal meaning; I don't think I want it being someone's avatar, haha.

Been meaning to comment on this thread for a while now!

Your work it so inspiring and quite unique to the rest of the works I've seen at PC. Seriously loving your variety of work!
My young child self would have completely nuts over your paleontology works - especially the paleo portraits which are incredibly well done!
Curiously wondering if you plan to do any sculpture or 3D arts any time soon?

First thing I said was wow. These are incredible. There is not a lot of critisism I can give you, but the level of detail on the feathers of some, shading and especially the texture of the Moon from Majora's Mask... Just wow.

Thanks, guys! :D

@Zappy yeah I've been going nuts with paleo stuff since I started using Twitter more seriously and rekindling one of my oldest nerd-doms. As for sculpture/3D, I just haven't done much of that in forever because generally it takes longer and I'm just not in as good a position to do it as much right now. I'd love to get back into physical sculpting once I move into a house later this year, and I'll have a better chair/desk to get me motivated to do digital sculpting too. I have a sculpture that's sat unfinished in a folder that I'd like to get back to soon. There's some older 3D stuff in my post in the rather buried Artists' Journey thread.

Anywho, here's another paleo portrait!
