Finally, I make some fictional yolka's on last weekend!
I dunno why tf, but I like Conifers externally & aesthetically, even though I can barely distinguish spruce, fir and pine from each other. I really want know basic differences, history and how their ancestors looked like in Mesozoic era.
Well, at least now I practice how to draw 'em!
So, I imagine spruces in a variety colors & shapes, like a red Christmas tree (which I seen a lot irl in stores as little decorations in my city), but as real species! These concepts will be flora in my dino lore.
In Saurischia, it was just soft tissue called supraorbital ridge, attached from prefrontal/lacrimal bone to postorbital. But in basal Ornithischia it were additionally supported by a dermal (it's likely osteoderm) palpebral/adlacrimal bone, and in derived herbivores brow arches ossified in tough supraorbitals. Some reptilians & birds still have this lil bony!
I think in Saurichia it may also get ossified, or osteoderm "horns" took its place, but I didn't find paper about
Here's article about this, I read only main points. I advise who lazy read under Figures (diagrams) and Discussion chapter:
Snow Bear - Upcoming 2D Animated Short Film by Aaron Blaise who was director of Brother Bear
Here's my comparison of storyboards to pre-final reels what I took from Aaron's YouTube Public Live Streams & Instagram!
His name Glen, in honor of Disney animator - Glen Keane
I started drawing 'em on October 30. I had to draw something Halloween, and found this dinosaur. This early ceratopsian is a giant leptoceratopsid. Its large jaws fragments strikes imagination - skull looks like Jack O Lantern in flesh
These folks are striped with bright heads because they're huge and conspicuous. The feather coat from sparse bristles has been transformed into a mane along the spine because it looks much more authentic and even realistic. The rest of shagginess - on jaw and paws - is the transition form between the scales and (proto)feather. Many have a lower beak down the chin - this depicted not only in reconstructions, but I also noticed it in fossils of P. hellenikorhinus. It plays role of a lips and even beard (just like upper), and having a light color adds volume and old age at the same time.
For experiment i drew em in frontal. There is no picture/diagram on Internet where fossils can be viewed from other angles except profile. Anyway, I gave everyone binocular vision, because that’s basic thing for (small) Neoceratopsia. I use some 3D references and Protoceratops anatomy.
I drew these Udanoceratops earlier, and here they have slight frills that aren't wider than jugal/zygomatic/cheek horns.
Some sketches with ZigZag The Grand Vizier, Magician and Sorcerer too, voiced by Vincent Price - by director of Who Framed Roger Rabbit
- from The Thief and The Cobbler
The Unfinished Animation Art from Richard Williams, which has a confusing and intriguing story, what making for almost 3 decades. It lost in shadow of Aladdin, because of host's perfectionism - unsuccessful animators left/fired from project, took ideas with them and went another studio. Film was twice remaked and shamefully released, then tragically forgotten in time.
But there's some enthusiast, who calls for profi artists: Garrett Gilchrist is editor of Recobbled Cut - the restoration of this masterpiece, what based on origin Workprint, rough footages and other versions (The Princess and the Cobbler & Arabian Knight)
I really love the bad one! In particular, this criminal brain has a Jafar and Genie vibe at same time, but he is original. For example - Zigzag all time speak with rhymes. After I watched film, few months I just did something and mumbled his quotes to myself for fun! Once they came useful on English lesson!
Well, you should see and hear him for yourself..
Here Greatest Underrated Villain of all time
Now this Animation needs worldwide fame and full completion! Teamwork can put some beauty back in the world!
Here footage Behind The Scenes, taken from Memoirs of a Madman
First photo extra damn rare. It seems to have never been used anywhere and has an initially rich turquoise color.
I also accidentally came across early versions of several photos, difference which is mainly that there is no "haze/fog"; in others, fire has a varying location or absent altogether. Here great example:
Fun Fact: this look was used in Guitar Hero: World Tour for Ozzy model
Photography by Joseph Cultice in Bathhouse Studios, NYC
Retouching by Q Studios Inc.
Where I got it:
Funny re-used background for "TANG-Monsters", I can't find anything about on the Internet, but only Cultice's photos.
probably he live in same universe (like Oz-Verse?)
I found multiple versions "making of" clips, pulled out footage and combined it into separate scenes. One version is from YouTube, another is from official website, and third one is an release announcement of album, I found only re-uploading:
