Description I actually used real paint for once. And I have proof all over my fingernails - acrylics do not come off! XD
This was done on printer paper since I ran out of canvas months ago and haven't bothered to buy more. Partly because I suck at painting. The scanner worked better than I thought it would but I think the colors didn't show up too well still - especially the teeth. So yeah. Doesn't look much like any of the movie raptors' colorations, but that's ok with me.

Tidbit - Title is from a Jewel song. Bet you didn't see that one coming!
I want to invest in an "Edit - Undo" button for life. Maybe I'll look on Ebay. Lmao.

Because when I listen to Jewel, the first thing that comes into my mind is BLOODTHIRSTY DINOSAURS!! D:

XD Sorry, couldn't resist.

Don't even say you suck at painting. That makes me cry, lol. You're freaking awesome and you could totally pursue it as a career. Go you!

I'd a starving artist! Too bad it's not something I could ever pursue. There's so many people who are way above me in their talents that I respect and I just don't see money in it. I'd be a starving artist like this crazy old tree lady I always see. Thanks for the praise though!
And of course you think of theropods listening to Jewel... who doesn't!?

I like this. It's a shame you didn't make canvas. I woulda bought it from ya to hang on my wall. xP Personally I think the velociraptor were one of the once smartest creatures to ever roam the earth. The reason why they didn't make it today... I think that's just shit luck xP But what did manage to survive were miskitos (sp) and man kind... go figure. I bet if it happend all over again the results would be diffrent.

( I am well aware there are many other creatures that have "evolved" and still exsist from the long time ago.)

This painting is very well done. I know critique is discouraged but complimants arn't. Once again great work

Holy crap, thank you!
Seems like all the nasty critters survived, like sharks and mozzies. XD

Again, thanks for your kindness!

Damn that's really awesome! Dinos look so much better in paint cause you get that scaley effect, I think.
I really like how you've colored the teeth and the eye.

Tazkia In reply to takashari [2006-01-25 02:00:48 +0000 UTC]

Oh I know! Texture is much easier to achieve.
The eye was the last thing I made so it was really rushed - but I'm glad that you said that! Makes me feel much better about it.

OMG, I dipped my hands and arms and face in the paint and went "bleoejudhduhd!"
Actually I did use my fingers to blend. XD I'm so naughty. And there was paint on my glasses. Haha.
