Description
edit:changed a few details in this, improved the lighting and algae.a comment corrected me as this is not a "dinosaur", but a reptile .
thanks for the notice.
-----
For those who don't know, no, this isn't the lock ness monster, the creature here is a real animal, it's a dinosaur from the Jurassic era named "tylosaurus" and probably the ancestor of the modern crocodile ( some designs resemble crocodiles a lot)
(anybody that isn't a pussy and scared of reptiles or disgusted by the idea of learning something don't check out the link)

I wanted to draw something quick , simple yet complex and that won't bore me (i started at least 4 drawings this week but got bored with them) so i chose animals..i wanted something dragon-like, but not that eccentric..i chose a dinosaur, and i chose this one since it's one of the ones that intrigue me the most and is more rarely done than say, tyrannosaurus.
This one took about 3h-4h done from scratch in photoshop (dammit it took less than my crappy comics! no wonder there are so many furry artists, this is so much easier -_-)
well, i'm kinda pleased with this one..
it looks very different from my past works, huh? i found a few speed paints on youtube by a very awesome artists and i tried his style..waddaya think?
ENJOY!

Wonderfull. The skin on the Tylosaur and the light in the water is beautiful. I'm really impressed. You should do more art like this.
And I really like dinosaurs and prehistoric animals too. Ever since I was a little kid.

dinosaurs are awesome
i tried this guy's style of doing the skin and bg the same color then just add more color or burn on the animal to make it stand out slightly. nowhere near what he can do, but better than my stuff..

It looks truly great. And your other stuff is also great, you just can't compare them that way because they are two different generes of art.

Yes, I think a school will be more impressed by this than a fan-comic with a bunch of manga-characters they've never heared about.
But keep up the good work.

I have a similar problem. I have a hundred ideas for art, but I don't have the patience to start on them. But when I do, I'm very satisfied. Like with my Cloverfield contest entry. In the end, patience usually pays of.

I got to see a life-size animatronic model of one of these at a zoo when I was a kid...it was huuuuuuge.

Yeah, it does look very diferent from your past works. But, in a good way. So, this is one of your attempts at realism, right? Very nice job.
