LordTrilobite Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 (edited) So in light of this new subforum I thought I'd make a thread for my paleoart paintings. I'll probably periodically update it if I make some new stuff. Here's some recent-ish work... This was a little bit of an experiment. A 3D painting of Stan the T. rex. Cross your eyes and the head will appear in stereoscopic 3D. Dunkleosteus Prognathodon saturator and Allopleuron. I made this just before I found out Prognathodon also has a forked tail.

Pagurus Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Very impressive. I particularly like the Coelodonta. What medium did you use? Start the day with a smile and get it over with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordTrilobite Posted January 13, 2014 Author Share Posted January 13, 2014 For all of these I used Photoshop. For the Prognathodon and Dunkleosteus I've painted them in greyscale first, and then coloured them. The others are painted in colour from the start. Here's also something I'm working on right now. I wanted to make a Triceratops reconstruction with all the new information that's known about it. This is of course still work in progress, so later I'll add the quills on his back and lots of rough scales. I'm also probably gonna colour it later.

PFOOLEY Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 These are sweet works of art! Do you use a "drawing pad"? I find it very difficult to "paint" with a mouse.

quietfocus Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Great stuff! My young kids thought the t-rex was pretty awesome.

old bones Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Really nice artwork ! And very good use of PS and Wacom! I need to start painting paleo... Do you work in Painter? There are some great brushes. What version of PS are you using? I am a professional PS user, so I am curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordTrilobite Posted July 17, 2014 Author Share Posted July 17, 2014 (edited) So I finaly got off my lazy behind and decided to finish that Triceratops I started on before. Overall I'm quite satisfied with it. Though the scales were a pain to paint. And after I finished that one I also felt like making something quick. So I just couldn't resist painting my favourite dinosaur. Parasaurolophus. So here is a bull Parasaurolophus showing of his fancy throat colours to impress the ladies and intimidate other guys. Also to answer old bones. I use Photoshop CS3 Edited July 17, 2014 by LordTrilobite Olof Moleman AKA Lord Trilobite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pterodactyl Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 (edited) What do you use as references. Do you use related animals as a reference or fossils as references? Or do you even just memorize how a certain creature looks and just draw it from your head? Thanks.
