A collection of fruit-shaped dinosaurs! They kind of look like they might have been used to promote some sort of breakfast cereal or something.
I’m still dabbling with a painterly style on rare occasions. This time it’s pretty heavily inspired by old retro children’s books. I might experiment with it more in the future!
You can buy this design on t-shirts, mugs, prints, and plenty of other cool stuff here on Redbubble:

____________________________________________
Tsukishima said Goodbye to the rest of the team and walked down the road alone. The thought of spending a whole bus ride with the others who were still downtrodden from their loss against Aoba Josai was too annoying. Instead he called his older brother to pick him up. Thunder rumbled above and the steely gray sky matched his mood. Tch, it was just a club. No reason to care so much. Hands in his pockets he spotted the small corner shop his brother told him to meet him at. It was still a little ways away but Tsukki didn‘t mind the walk. He kicked a pebble along the path. Then something wet hit his neck and when he looked up, big drops of rain splattered his glasses. Cursing extensively he fell into a jog, his limbs still screaming from the exertion of the match.
He sought shelter at a run down bus stop halfway to the intersection. Still swearing he shook his hair, brushed at his clothes and then took off his glasses, feeling around for a somewhat dry spot on his shirt he could wipe them on.
Once he could see again, he noticed a figure standing with him under the rusty, slightly leaking roof.
The thought that he had seen you before clung to him much like his wet jacket. Then when you nodded and smiled politely he realized that you were that pudgy manager from Aoba Josai. Just his luck. When he decided to simply ignore you until his brother came, the ribbed roof creaked and a small wave of icy rain water splashed into his collar, running down the back of his neck. He gave a decidedly embarrassing shriek and jumped to the side. To add insult to injury he stumbled and bumped into you. Perfect.
Muttering an apology with a small bow he turned to stare stoically out onto the slowly flooding road. After a minute or so he heard you take a deep breath.
“You guys played really well.“, you said, awkwardly holding onto the strap of your bag, “It was pretty impressive seeing so many first years on the starting team.“
Tsukki guessed you meant it as a compliment and he was not about to tell you that it was simply lack of team members that influenced the roster significantly.
In his opinion, it would have been perfectly fine to stand there in silence but his proximity seemed to jump start some kind of rambling in you because now you just wouldn‘t shut up, “I‘m sure you‘ll have better luck next time.“
Tsukki was certain you were just taunting him at this point.
He bit back, “Your oh so „Great King“ is not unbeatable. Everyone has a weakness and next time we‘ll find yours and destroy you.“ Where the hell did that come from? It seemed that the loss did bother him more than he thought. He almost sounded like Hinata.
Even worse, your expression changed from - what he had interpreted as - patronizing to shocked. He pressed his lips together. So what if you had been sincere? He would rather listen to Hinata babble about the Little Giant for two hours than apologize. But then again… you did look genuinely confused and even… hurt (?) at his words.
Long silent seconds dragged on between you two, the downpour on the thin metal roof drumming in his ears. He threw another glance in your direction and a little triceratops figure dangling from your bag caught his eyes. It was the same make as the parasaurolophus he had on his house keys.
Tsukki let out a small breath, then looked around, needlessly making sure that no one would see or hear him and then mumbled “sorry“ being 110% sure that it was entirely drowned out by the heavy drops hitting the metal above.
Lightning flashed across the sky and he saw you flinch and retreat a little into the corner. Great, apparently he was trapped here with a five year old. Thinking of the triceratops he pressed out a rather lukewarm “there there“.
When the thunder clap followed you seemed to shrink even further and Tsukki saw that your hands started to shake.
… What would his brother do if he was here? Akiteru was always the one with the social skills. He would make sure that you were okay and comfort you. Tsukki definitely already did that. And then he would probably prevent you from getting scared again. Resisting the urge to groan loudly at the pathetic display in front of him he reached up and took off the headphones around his neck. You looked up at him with impossibly big eyes when he placed them over your ears. They were top of the line so excellent noise cancelling was a given. Stepping a little to his right, he was now standing directly in front of you - tall enough to block your view of the sky and of the next lightning flashing through the clouds.
Teary eyes aside you were actually not that horrible to look at, he thought. Even… even quite cute, especially with the way his headphones seemed to squish your chubby cheeks together a bit more. Plus there was the triceratops. Always a sign of good taste, really.
A honk behind him ripped Tsukki from his thoughts. Akiteru‘s beat-up car waited in front of the dingy bus stop, engine running.
In one swift motion, Tsukki collected his headphones again and with a curt nod (more towards the key chain than you) he hurried to the passenger side.
His brother offered a sort of happy frown when he closed the door.
“Shouldn‘t I give your friend a ride?“
“No.“
And with that, the brothers drove off, making way for the bus behind them.

Saddle up your favourite dino-steed, this is THE post for all things Paleo Pines. Your adventure awaits…

NPCs Mari and Marlo are on either side of the player in the background, waving the player as they explore. In the player's hand is a flute.]
Paleo Pines is a dinosaur-themed ranching game that allows you to escape to an island populated with welcoming townsfolk and dozens of friendly dinosaurs.
You’ll care for your ranch, help the locals, explore the island, and, of course, befriend dinosaurs!

Bottom left: A player character sits atop a Pachycephalosaurus. Bottom Right: A player character stands across from a merchant. A dialogue bubble reads; 'Pippin: Poppin, anyone?' with dialogue options; Chat, Trade, Leave']

Made this cute Jumbo Strawberry Triceratops! I was going to start selling them but decided to wait and make a two tone version! I can’t wait for everyone to be able to have these as well!
Psssttt I have a mini strawberry shortcake triceratops in my store.
“Thank you. I take great care of it. It’s a combination of stag beetle juice, strawberries, and triceratops blood. Coconut oil for the moisture, blended earthworm for the volume.”
