This is Awesome! I loved how you did the background. This also made me think of Turok because of the armored dinosaur style.
Good job :)

buriedantenna responds:

Thanks man, it's good to hear that you're into it. I think Turok is always going to come to mind when we're dealing with dinosaur riding.

it doesent really tickle my fancies

buriedantenna responds:

No, well it's rough and scaly with horns and spikes... it would probably rip your fancies to shreds.

This painting is very elegant with the calmness of the forest combined with the different shades of green used here. The dark green triceratops portrayed here is very nicely complemented by the lighter shades of green used to color the plants and certain tree leaves. Every part of the triceratops is amazingly detailed, especially his muscle structure.

I don't know what inspired this painting, but it truly is incredible. It kind of reminds me of a jungle version of He-Man. Instead of He-Man you have some sort of jungle warrior upon the triceratops' back and instead of Battle Cat you have the armored triceratops. It's a very neat, impressive and creative painting.

It would be a cool idea to create a tyrannosaurus rex version of this painting. The tyrannosaurus rex could be colored red with molten lava and rocks in the background. Just a suggestion. :)

Hope to see more from you soon!

buriedantenna responds:

That's a very extensive review, thank you for going into such detail :) Great suggestion too— if I do anymore dinosaur stuff it will be hard to resist taking on the T-rex. In the meantime I do have a dragon for you that is red and has rocks and lava in the background.

Exquisite style. There's something too symmetric about the whole thing though. Could have been a much more effective composition, no matter dynamic or static.

buriedantenna responds:

Thanks for the comments. I understand your point there about the composition, part of that is due to this being an illustration for a card game. There are large sections of dead space left around dinosaur for graphics and stats, so the finished thing looks like a much tighter crop, but this does compromise it a little as a stand alone image.

I reminds me of Turok, in a weird way. I don't remember ever facing off against, or really seeing, any Triceratops, but the guy riding it just brings that to mind.

buriedantenna responds:

Yeah well that makes sense—when someone is riding a dinosaur Turok is going to be one of the things that comes to mind.
