I guess I'll just post my Dinotopia-related art here as I make it x)

My main Dinotopian fan character is Kovik, a troodon. If it were anywhere else I'd say he was the pick-pocket type but that doesn't quite fly in Dinotopia. So he's found his outlet being both enthusiastically scholarly and with a certain flair for adventuring. His major flaw is that he doesn't know when he's not wanted, (he can be rather annoying at times.) He likes to dress up in flamboyent attire, I just haven't chosen a suitable costume for him yet x) For now, he wears a Malik-esque hat, the kind with arches and bells.

Here was an early drawing of him...

I had a more cartoony style in mind at the time, and I'm not too fond of the color scheme anymore. But there he is -- I think that's the only colored picture I have of him now...

Originally he had a parasaurolophus "friend" who he followed around named Tekoa...

Tekoa didn't like that too much.

I think this is when I decided to integrate him into Dinotopia...

His sign says "Hi" and the rest says "Kovik".

Here's my most recent sketch of Kovik. He's wearing his hat and talking to a Stegosaurus and his Homo sapiens friend. Probably about a parade or something. Dinotopians love their parades.

Those are awesome, Kovik! I love the animated style, yet it looks pretty real too. You have a great eye for making things come alive in your art. The movement in the pictures are captivating. I like the troodon's eyes because they are large and cute. You could write a fan story with just pictures if you wanted to.

Is that all, or do you have more?

Thanks a million for sharing!!!

New pic. C:
"Kovik look around warily. He'd followed the narrow footpath for a few days now and had found himself quite inexplicably lost. Suddenly, the path came to an end, intersected by a much larger one. The troodon studied the huge footprints in the dry dirt. Ceratopsian, definitely. But the footprints where old, who knew when someone would come by again? Ah -- What was that? A low grumbling and a gentle tremor in the earth caused Kovik to lift his head and look about. His weary misgivings were suddenly lifted. A ceratopsian was ambling up the hill right now! What luck! Maybe he and his human friend could give him some directions..."

The ceratopsian in the pic is a Pentaceratops. They had the biggest skull of any land animal, at around 9 ft. in length. It's from this species that Ogthar gets his facial features.

I don't have to ask! I already see what's going on in them. It's a secret code, containing your plans for world domination...i see it clearly.

The troodon represents you, and simba/lion is the rest of the world...you buy some type of weapon of mass destruction (represented in your first one where someone has your 'FRAP'). Since your organization has these weapons, the rest of the world fears you, and submits to your WMD wielding powers (this is shown in the one where the troodon is laying down on simba/lion). With the world's nations properly subdued, you move in for the kill and do away with all these nation's governments (troodon eating 'morsel'). And finally, with all the nations out of the way, you get to become the true dictator, and sole ruler of the world. (the last piece with the T-rex).

See? I get it!

Or they could just be innocent doodles...

We are going to fight the Yankees and drive them from our land.
