Description This scene was inspired by the art of many folks on deviantArt. It’s a quick little drawing of Kora and her family. Kora’s first feathers have grown out, and she’s feeling bold. It’s the farthest she has ever traveled from her nest. As she explores her new world, she befriends a rat and a flower beetle. Her Mom and Dad are watchful of Kora’s antics and are not far behind should Kora run into trouble. This picture was inspired by one of my most favorite drawings by ToxicKittyCat--“ Kora and a rat”.

Kora’s Mom (Jeane) is a character designed by BlueFluffyDinosaur (©BlueFluffyDinosaur)

Kora and Kora’s Dad (Ron) are characters designed by ToxicKittyCat (©ToxicKittyCat)

I know my style is very different, but I hope I captured Kora’s spunky nature.

Thanks

Blair

Thanks Joanna,

Your absolutely correct. I saw both spellings of the name. At first I had used 'Jane' but at the last minute I changed it to Jeane because of some of the faves I had. I guess the name must have changed. Anyhoo, I'm glad my rendering of Jane was okay. You'll have to draw and name all of the cute chicks that hatch out from those eggs. Just kidding. Cheers and

Best wishes,

Blair

Oh I'm glad you liked the picture. I love your characters, they have so much personality, especially Kora. And I'm honoured that ya'all at RaptorFanz voted me as artist of the month. Yippi, I won my first points, and it'll be fun to donate them to your pool. I can also pay you for your avatar that you so graciously gave me, I love Kora. Thanks again and keep up the drawing. I used to get into trouble a lot for drawing in class.

Take care and best wishes,

Blair

many thanks Mark,

I had a little time to draw. Just recurperating from a broken rib and pulled muscles, ouch. My pain medication made me really mellow, and I drew a few really cute pieces. Hope to upload them soon.

Cheers good buddy,

Thanks Horváth,

You portraits are great, I especially love your portrait of your Dad with a cigarette, Love the expression on his face. It seems he must have been posing a long time.

thanks for the kind words,

Psithyrus In reply to AltairSky [2010-09-16 22:58:01 +0000 UTC]

Thanks Altair,

You are correct; I use pencil to sketch the critters and paint in the color areas. I use different brushes and filters to give the rendering a rougher, less polished feel, or maybe it's because I stink at using Photoshop. I am still learning to use Photoshop so I rely on the pencil tool alot, that gives the picture a "pencilly" look.

Thanks for the kind words,

Blair

Gosh...whenever I go to view raptor art that catches my eye...it always seems to end up being your art.

Absolutely love this to pieces!

Thanks Neo,

I love you "cars" characters, you know I watched "Cars" on TV just a few days ago. I even sleep with a Mater pillow. Not because its cars, but it was the only non-allergenic pillow I could find at our local dollar store. haha

Thanks for the very kind words,

Thanks Shawn, I forget to include what these dinosaurs are. These guys are Dienonychus, a large, human-sized raptor, similar to those in the Jurassic Park Movies.

Thanks,

Thanks Kite,

I really loved your LBT characters, It would be nice if they made a more modern LBT film, perhaps CGI; I suppose all animated films will be cgi from now on. I particularly fond of good 2D animated films.

Cheers,
Blair

AnoOrca In reply to Psithyrus [2010-09-17 00:39:05 +0000 UTC]

No problem

Aww thank you~ I wish they'd make another LBT film but focus it on other characters instead, 12 movies plus a TV cartoon series seems like a lot of exposure for the same handful of characters (to me anyway). I prefer 2D but there isn't much of that anymore =/

Thanks for the watch by the way!

I'm curious, which program do you use? Your paintings almost have the effect of pencil crayon, yet they're digital.

Thanks Zha,

I like to see the brighter side of life. I like to believe dinosaurs led pretty peaceful lives, and if they ever got to know us they wouldn't eat us. Maybe!

I appreciate you wonderful comments,
