Description
Cards depicting various major and minor piano scales, represented by dinosaurs, for my piano teacher. (Not much creativity involved in the choice of dinosaurs; I just took those whose names started with the same letter as a given scale.)Related content

I really like the Chinese characters underneath.

Wait, you can write asian (sorry, don't know what actual nationality it is XD)?

Interesting... though it sucks how I can't even remember most Italian and Indonesian (despite not being from those cultures XD).

Realistically it should be more mottled with rufous rather than the full-on orange I've given it here.

All of them are neat, especially the Mandarin characters
But why a Drinker with red eyes?

Thanks. The red eyes are a Luis Rey reference.

I must say, I remember having a violin scales book that did something similar, with dinosaurs.
Yours is WAY better, though, because it kept resorting to made-up creatures.

Thanks! That sounds neat, but using made-up critters is certainly a let down.

Yeah.
On a slightly different form, it reminds me of an old Animal Alphabet book I read, which featured all sorts of obscure animals you wouldn't normally hear about in Children's Books, or even some adult books (including Bandicoot, Fennec, Kinkajou, Narwhal, Razorbill, Uakari and even Quagga) and yet when it came to X, it just used "as in Ox and Fox".
