This is looking great!!!! Maybe you could add a subtle background of a petrified forest that had been laid to waste? Line art only in a shade darker/ lighter than the tee (I am assuming you will be using solid colour work on the dinosaws)

that is my aim - although the colouring part will be my least favourite bit, as I'm TERRIBLE at texturing :(

This is awesome! I LOVE IT! And let me give you a tip about coloring, it is all about steps - at first everything you do will look yucky to yourself, but as you add more and more detail with each new step you will grow to like it. Would you comment on mine, it is the last day! http://www.threadless.com/submission/225378/Budding_Artist

Ok, next stages to work on:



- dinosaur colouring and texture.

- simple, one colour background, with perfectly chopped trees to show sawn look

- add a pterodactyl/saw amalgamation



my questions are



- are there too many dinos in the scene currenly, or does it look balanced enough? (my aim was to have as many different types without over crowding.)

- any other suggestions?

I think this is a good amount of dinosaws. I think if you color them so that they stand out from each other, then you'll be good!

if the coloring doesn't work out for you I would say leave it as is and maybe change the line color in order to compliment the shirt color you use.



I think you should add more dinos, the more overcrowded the better! Gives the eye something to stare at for a while.

Any thoughts on Red Moose V4?

Needs color, but look, this is funny and dinosaurs are golden. I like the variation in the saws, there's a lot of creativity and attention to detail and its well drawn. But needs color.



I agree that having just one cutting into - or even just standing next to a fallen tree - would be funny.



Or a whole bunch feasting on one tree, if you bothered to redraw it all. But this version is already funny. Good luck!



I love feedback like I love chips and salsa:

I think it's awesome. Colour would be good, just so they're separated and not so blended together, you know?
