#kanerodoptrix

This workweek was something else in terms of pressure and it’s a relief to let strokes be what Iwant them to be. Kanerophan vs. Coriophan! The latter really does work as a species… at least I think that it looks fucking cool. x)

Took the last image and worked on the proportions - I think they’re much better now and fit their way of living. The colors are inspired by Lost World’s velociraptor (obviously) and a color combo from a miscolored Lion King artwork back in the 90s. Do you also know the “magical” feeling of some color combinations, especially from your childhood? The schemes from the two protagonists of the second Care Bears movie have a similar effect on me.

It’s a far cry from yesterday’s dynamic strokes, but it’s Friday night after a draining week. I also feel that I didn’t capture the shape I had in mind, but it was a relaxing painting time nonetheless. The next one’s going to fit better.

Wanted to quickly sketch out an idea for the troglodyte Kanerodoptrix and ended up with a little speedpaint of an evolutionary relative which returned to the surface and lives in the nearby Arithan desert. The female in the front has a mane while the male shows off some nice stripes.

Thank you all for the warm welcome back! <3 It feels good to see so many people still here, reading your names again and going through your posts. It’s going to take a while to look at everything, a lot has happened :)

Not so much has happened on the drawing front around here, looking for some stuff to post, but it’s really not a lot x) This is something from early 2021, a Kanerodoptrix trying hard to use its regressed eyes to take a look at an Ytt.
