@kithpendragon And Now We Just Wait Before He "finds Evidence" Of Greenland Or Canada "oppressing American

Getting ready for a convention! Its soooo close:} Sorry i haven't posted much, i was working on all this stuff. There are these pins, but also A LOT of stickers i will post next. And some jewelry. You will just wait and see. I know you guys will like it!

Where tf was this guide when i was trying to draw paws????

Seriously this is sooo usefull. I`m definitely saving this

i remade my old talon tutorial with a few extra tips! these are just things i have learned from references, other artists and experimenting myself, so i hope they can be helpful for you!

Behold! The one and only: WIZARD FROG or... FROG WIZARD or somethinh idk... Anyway, this fine lad is all finished and ready to do his wizarding!

Honestly this advice is actually usefull, i gotta note it down for the futere because it actually helped. I decided to just roll with the nametag i chose. I thought for a bit and realized i like it and there is really no need to fix what`s already swag + my friends told me it sounds catchy and i already made myself some business cards.

Should i keep the nametag or should i change it? Im not sure about my current nametag but i cant really think of anything better. I cant change it all the time but if i want to run this as an art account, i need something i really like. Idk, maybe i shouldn`t fix what`s not broken but i`m still not sure

A quick doodle to brighten your mood. Might turn into a full drawing:}

Quick axolotl sketch with a marker & liner. There are more designs i made but this is the only one on my phone right now so im posting it. I might post more axolotls later but...if i`m not lazy

Anywho, i think i will refresh my blog a bit. Repost some older art while getting some new. Idk if thats something that people on tumblr do, but some perfectionist dragon part of my brain tells me that all art must be selected and gathered into a curated horde so its in one place in my cave (blog), no way to keep it so unorganized. Looks nicer in one pile. I mean it`s not like it will stay that way as i keep posting. But do you organize you cave to keep it in that perfect state or to LIVE?

I found these plastic dinosaur minies and decided to paint them to look like Lucky and Wuerhosaurus from paleo pines & and i will show you all the steps in case you want to do something like this yourself

This was my firs time painting minie figures and i tried using the same techniques people use for DnD figures so you can just look up those tutorials on youtube.

I found these ugly plastic dinosaurs on at a flee market for like 5 hryvnias and this is how they looked before their makeover:

First thing i did was wash them with soap and strip off all the spray paint from them using polish remover/acetone, untill they were this weird yellowish plastic color. (Idk if this step was necessary but i wanted to romoves all the dirt & dust so the paint sticks better)

Then i painted them fully with a dark color. I dont advise using pure black. I used a more dark-ish grey with a bit of blue so the undertone works better.

By the way here are these mfs near a match (for size comparison ofc).

Next i dry-brushed them with a cream color to bring out the texture and leave the dark color in the creases and shadows. I had to go over with a few coats so that they were not too dark.

Fore some reason they made these guys all wrinkly instead of scaly but it did help with the texture lol.

(The more i looked at them the more i saw how weird and inaccurate they are. Still cute though)

And the last steps were to cover them in colorfull washes:

The key is to go slowly, building up the colors layer by layer. I also added a bit of different hues in some places to make the colors less more alive (like a bit of pink on the plates, or some green in certain places idk it just gives more variety to the colors. with out it it the colors look a bit monotonous).

Also, seriously go play the game!!!! it`s just so cute. Dinosaur designs are cutified but still faithfull to how the animal looked according to science (minus the pastel colors lol) and you just know that it was made by true dinosaur lovers.

They do have a tumblr blog at @paleopinesofficial but i see their content more on tiktok
