Description
Continuing with the Fantasy Dinosaurs theme, I thought I'd take an ankylosaurus (side note: my favorite dinosaur!) and reimagine him as a martial artist monk. In addition to possible accoutrements (the wrist blade, holy medallions, strips of scripture attached to his side spikes, etc.), I also considered what his martial art style might resemble. Constant movement would be key, as well as taking maximum advantage of his protective plates and bludgeoning tail. Perhaps Drunken Boxing, Capoeira, Aikido, or maybe a combination of all three? If you have other ideas, I'd love to hear your suggestions as well!

Created using 2B pencils on Daler-Rowney sketch paper.
