Happy New Year

EDIT Tryin to get more of a stylized dino. Also playin with the idea of caveman havin a unibrow. Hopefully I can get in the mind set of doin some pencil test tomorrow...







Wanted to get the first post of the new year in. Hope all is well with everyone and we wish you the best in the New Year. Some T-Rex practice. I will eventually take on the task of animating one ( Will be loads of fun!!! )

Pretty t-rex! He looks all meaty and weighty! Very nice :) Hope all the animation/short stuff is going well.

The lay outs look really good. I wonder what the animation will look like. I would like to do one to eat the bill collectors

What's goin' on? I dig the dino up top. He really does have some fun personality. The caveman does too. What would he look like with the ends of the unibrow being squared off, instead of tapered? That just popped into my head as I was looking at him. What kind of time are you able to put in to this. I was thinkin' about taking a stab a a toon idea, but I don't want to get in too far without knowing kind of what it's all about. Dig? Take it easy brudda.

Nice Dinos Mel! Great personality in those sketches. I'm not too sure about the unibrow. It looks pasted on and not part of the character. I like the dino renders!

A unibrow is perfect for that character, nice job man!
