T-rex and a mess...
Got this guy finished up over the holidays, and he's off to his new home today. This was for a friend's nephew that was visiting for Christmas so It had to get done with a quickness :) His favorite color is red so instead of blending some red into him I had to make a big red mess, and just paint the whole thing red. I would have never thought to paint him red but now that it's done it gives it a nice pop. I tried to tone down any sort of gore or whatnot, but really felt he needed a bit of spit/slime while he was giving out such a massive roar. Anyway thanks for checking out this new guy...
Acrylic and ink on canvas....
Here is a bit of the process, from the sketch to the mess, and then a bit of inks :)
Thanks again for stopping by.....

That's a bloody T-rex alright! ^^ Love how the little dots and lines in white make that thing to pop even more.
Oh, and I recently got some acrylics and canvases too. Will do some experimenting. Never tried them before :)
Thank you, I had a lot of fun with the inking trying to bring out some of the finer details.... That is awesome, it's always fun to try out new art supplies. Can't wait to see a post about your little adventure :)
Wow!
You call that a mess??!! 😮😮
I'd say its a beautiful mess. I am pretty sure your nephew will loooooooove it as I am loving it myself.
Cheers! ❤

Red dino is pretty unusual... but also pretty attractive looking. I like that his roaring pose looks quite lazy XD.
Congrats for your curie vote :).
Thanks for checking out the arts.... tried to make him big and scary without having the kid not want to go into his room cause he was afraid it might eat him haha :)
Ahhh that would explain what's happening with the roar. Quite a delicate restriction that you have to manoeuvre :D.

Thanks... I was skeptical about the red at first, but I really like how much pop it gives :) Hope he lets out a big roar when he sees it.
Very interesting. You've managed to make it look cool and scary! Well done!
Appreciate it, had to play around a bit to get the right balance :)
