Medium: ink (Micron pen!)

This was a demo drawing for an assignment idea my teacher had. The assignment was to draw an imaginary dinosaur. I was immediately hooked on the concept.
Of course, the first question I asked was, "Does it have to make sense or can it be something out of fantasy?"
She said it could be a fantasy creature as long as it was drawn with realistic enough detail.
My pencil sketch was done in less than two minutes. Then I decided to ink the drawing and, well, it just kept going until it was done. It ended up taking about three days.

Yes, I realize the anatomy is a bit off, but I just wanted him to look huge and blobby but still mobile. I got this concept off of a pokemon, but I can't recall the name. It's one of the new ones. I just liked the idea of putting a tree on a dinosaur's back.

I wanted the whole picture to resemble those messy ink sketches from old textbooks. Those were the days when a scientist would travel to some exotic land and see a strange and wondrous creature. Not being an artist, he would just write down a description and bring it home. Then, some artist who has never seen the creature would try to render what he thinks the scientist is describing. The results could range from surprisingly accurate to hilariously unlikely.

Anyway, I'd better end this ridiculously long comment and let you enjoy the sketchy inkiness of the picture. Hurray for imaginary dinosaurs!!
