I'm not sure who the Tapejara is, or why he's giving her flowers, but pff. I gave Serreneliss a dark beak because he said it "wasn't yellow", but that's probably not very close either. ;) I need to finish the shading, but eh, I've packed the pencils now and have to dig 'em back out.

Ooh, I like. Not QUITE perfect, but pretty close except for a couple details. They're cute. :> Thanks!

DINOSAURS YES! :D :D :D is the grey one a ramphorynchus?

the personality in the your eyes is just crazy. I know I've said that before, but if I could go back in time and re-learn to draw, I would want to learn to draw like you. XD

Thanks. :) *glow*

Hrm, he does have a sort of ramphorynchus-sy face, but no, he's the tapejara. They had some of the insanest crests and things (although not so silly as nyctosaurus (http://palaeo.jconway.co.uk/_skeletal/nyctosaurus.gif)). The pteranodon is (supposed to be) Serreneliss (I got her eyes wrong *bangs head*), Steelwing's ladybird. :)

I feel the urge to draw dinosaurs now. *gr* Or maybe some phorusrhacids. But no moas.

Ah... Paleolithic love.... or is it Mesozoic? I can never tell.

Still... all that's pencil? The crest (or whatever it's called) of the grey one is rather metallic in appearance... are they new pencils, or just a different technique?

Nice detail on the wing structure of the yellow one.

To be honest they're probably from completely different eras, (cretaceous, I think...? Something like it) but eh, I thought I saw them on both on the same episode of "Walking with Dinosaurs" and so I took some liberties. ;)

It's not ALL pencil - I had one Copic marker (grey) and a handful of cheapo brush-tip felt pens which I used to do the "undercolouring" (else it'd have looked grainy). Which meant the paper got wrinkled on the grey one's crest, as they were water-based pens not alcohol-based ones (like Trias or Copics) which stretched the paper out, grr. And the wrinkles scanned. So... grr.
