Pretty cool....what is the necklace around your neck? Clan insignia? I wish I had that kinda talent...what did you use to color it all, it looks like you used several different things and I like the effect. Great Job. Ever think of illustrating the stories?

Glad you like it! The necklace is called the 'Amulet of Protection'. So when I go out of the Rainy Basin, the Sunstones have no effect on me (Like in the Dinotopia movie and series.).
I rendered actual pictures into drawing form and colored them to my liking (Like the T-Rex and the Incan ruins.) The rest was actually a picture I drew about 25 years ago(Broke my ankle and needed to do something while on the mend!). It was done in magic marker, and done on glossy posterboard. (Copied from a painted suede picture that I hated! Remember those?*cringe!*)

Quite the creative way to create an overall look! I never really have the time to draw anymore but I have been thinking of a picture that i would like to sketch just in plain pencil for a while. I took an art class in high school and discovered that while i have no real talent for drawing figures, i am not half bad at drawing hands...I would love to try my "hand" ;D at drawing a picture of a human hand clasping a saurian one though I have never decided which type of saurian...Many have suggested a raptor as it is the closest resemblance to a human one so therefore it should be easier to draw in a clasped position. I think I shall try to draw one up and post it by the begining of the year. What do you think?

Sounds ex! I can't really draw, just sort of copy this and that (Break out the tracing paper! LOL!)
Here's an idea for your 'hands' (Sorry...)
In my fanfic, 'Empire of the carnivores' the carnivores needed a flag or insignia, and I thought of having a human hand silhouette and a Tyranosaur head silhouette facing each other (There were a variety of color contrasts: Black on blue, green and red; white on same; as well as other combinations.). Perhaps you could help design the Rainy Basin national flag!

Just a note to let you know that I haven't forgotten about the flag and I may have something ready to post by the end of next week. You can let me know what you think of it then.

Thanx, Buttercup! Y'know that piccy of me above? I was thinking on trying to design a uniform for him. I formed a group of protectors in the Rainy Basin; called the 'Rainy Basin Rangers', and consisting of a T-Rex and human rider! (Need to make up neat saddles and harnesses using flag motif on them somehow...) Also, I got to start designing the 'Armor of Othgar' that Stinger wears. I was planning to have them be like those neat suits on the movie 'Stargate', the ones the Jaffa wear... (The mask will retreat the same way, and the suits will be of different design and weaponry; but basically that's what I had in mind!) (I got to learn how to draw! LOL!)

Interesting looking character and character idea. Keep up the good work.
