final Christmas Pic

Sketch design, Christmas Card

I wanted to draw Dinosaurs, so i decided to do T-Rex Santa and Raptor Jesus in the Christmas spirit.

Drew out a T-rex Head, tracing over an image i exaggerated parts of it and added a hat, made him all fat like Santa

Did the same thing for the raptor, exaggerated the features of a traced drawing and added in the Philosoraptor hand for added zest.

Final Image - Whatchu want?

Finally finished it at 8am, really pleased with it, one of my best works yet.

Close-Up of the right closed eye and cheek.

I rather like the fact you can see alot of the texture on the cheeks/nose

Close-Up of the left eye

with its blind mucus filled glory and ofc maor wrinkles.

Close-Up of the right tusk and most of the rotten teeth.

and finally the background i nabbed off of Deviant Art, all credit goes to the photographer.

Progress on the head

what ive done so far with the head.

added in the highlights and the teeth along with the eye, i need to make the horns a different colour, so a good lasso tool and level fiddling should do with that.

the teeth i referenced from a bear at first, then thought this guy needs age in his teeth, and what better way to age a tooth then decay.

yum

referenced his eye from this blind dude who looks kickass and very shiny

Sketch feedback 1

After the feedback i got from Steve, i decided to swap round the sneer to the other side, seeing as i couldnt make a sneer and close the other eye.

i also overlayed his exageration to

help me when i next paint to fix it

After ive fiddled with it to smooth everything out and repainted over
