Description Super props go to for the killer line art. Check out his stuff, its great!

As the title suggests, I coloured this particular picture, mostly for the purposes of practice, but DAMN I am proud of how it turned out, specifically the highlights I also chose it because its an old show dear to my heart but I haven't seen it since I was a youngling.

Anywho, please tell me what you all think!

Edit:
Just for the hell of it I've decided to give backgrounds to the Dinosaucers characters I do, seeing as these designs are so awesome they warrant a reboot series without the cheesiness. So, without any further ado...

Genghis Rex was born on Reptilon like all of his brethren. Unlike others though, Genghis was destined to be king, but when the monarchy was deemed archaic and tyrannical, Genghis's family was hunted down and exterminated, replaced by the Elder Ones (the dinosorceror and dinosorceress...these names or horrid, do I really have to keep using them? ).

Eluding his pursuers along with his sister Princess Dei, the embittered prince vowed to reclaim his crown by force, and thus began recruiting others to aid him in his quest by offering them power should they succeed. Eventually, he would recruit 6 skilled and deadly individuals to aid him in his mission. Thus, the Tyrannos were born.

His team became a terrible threat to the world of Reptilon, and champions were needed to combat them. But that is another story for another time..

I know his original incarnation very well, and while not being THIS awesome, he was a memorable villain nonetheless.

That is awesome! More realistic Ganghis Rex. They should make a movie of Dinosaucers using James Cameron's new technology.

I would love to see a traditionally animated series/film but even a cell shaded 3D series/film would be cool. I love the whole atmospheric 3D thing but I cant appreciate it as much as I'd like cause of my eyes. Sorry, I tend to ramble, but yeah I would love to see a revival of Dinosaucers with more character and story development kinda like what I presented here for Rex's backstory. Dont forget to take a look at 's gallery since he did the original lineart

oh wow..Thanks soo soo much for that info on Genghis Rex *__* I've seen every single ep, mind you LONG LONG ago, and I didn't remember most of that XD This is soo badass, but most important, thankyou again for the info, it really took me back *____* I LOVE THAT SHOW SOOO MUCH, one of the great old '80's shows that's never going to see the light of day on DVD. Ever. And thats just horrible ;_;

Love the coloring job, those lines are SOO AWESOME O_O

MarcelisKhaldern In reply to MoonNeko [2010-11-23 16:30:57 +0000 UTC]

the info on genghis rex...I'm sorry, I should have properly stated perhaps. Thats my own imagining, as little to know backstory is given to the dinosaucer characters, and so I decided, since I'm gonna colour these fan redesigns, I might as well add a fan backstory to them. Genghis espescially needed an interesting story because he IS the main villian.

OH totally xD I understand! That actually sounds soo cool and make such sense. As far as I could remember there was.. a lot of plot holes in the poor Dinosaucer universe xD Didn't make me love it any less though!!

What a fun art piece! Reminds me of a draconian from the old Dragonlance novels by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman. Those draconians were basically dragon-people, but this is an anthro T-Rex. I have a vague recollection of the show that Genghis Rex came from, entitled Dinosaucers, with the main characters being anthro dinosaurs. It gives me an idea to make my own prehistoric alien creature series. I don't know what I'll call it just yet, but stay tuned!

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

MarcelisKhaldern In reply to CD-Yang [2010-10-04 06:10:23 +0000 UTC]

I'm glad you like it dude!

Now, I must admit, the show was rather silly and like most 80's shows, it suffered from the problem of having no overarching storyline. Something this particular premise needed. I would love to see this show remade into a more serious and somewhat darker tale, with this Genghis as a stronger and much more competent villain.

Let me know when you've got an idea, I love story telling (its my passion) and I'll certainly help you, should you request it!

OH! Thanks so much for the fave

CD-Yang In reply to MarcelisKhaldern [2010-10-04 13:39:31 +0000 UTC]

Thank you for your support, I have a ton of story ideas that I want to get up off the ground. Some are inspired by Star Wars, others by Indiana Jones. While some of my ideas are based loosely off of the pop culture of my childhood, I try to give those existing ideas my own personal spin to make it wholly original. I don't like to directly copy, but sometimes I borrow heavily from universal mythology. Face it, a lot of cool things borrow from mythology, including Percy Jackson, Harry Potter, Stargate, and even Lloyd Alexander's Prydain books. And about that favorite, you are welcome.

Thats cool, I understand what you mean. I do use reference sometimes but I try to make my stuff as original as I can. And like, with things like fantasy worlds, I try to create my own species of creatures, rather than borrow heavily from myth and folklore (ala harry potter).

If you have msn or use irc, or even skype, I'd love to do a brainstorming session with you

Yep, I love how KaijuSamurai re-imagined him. I thought of going with the original colour palette but it just didn't work for me, so I tried this and I'm so happy with the results. I'll probably touch it up with his skine tones thought, its a bit flat compared to the armour

True that! All the way! The armor looks awesome! And those yellow eyes KaijuSamurai gave him adds more flair to his sinister appearance than his original 1987 design! And I also like how he looks more bestial!
