Fly Away - Iguanodons

 

Boy, I've neglected this blog to long. But I'm back to share a new painting with everyone who might be interested.

I've painted a scene of a couple of Iguanodon watching the bird Iberomesornis take flight from their forest home. I've aimed for a tranquil scene, something very ordinary yet beautiful in its own way.

I very much enjoyed painting this one. I feel I'm getting more comfortable with my style...very loose and abstract, but realistic in a way.

I'm busy working on a lone Styracosaurus, although that can always change. And I'm sketching more ideas for future work.

As always if you would like a print or canvas print of the painting I put them up on my Fine Art America site. Thank you to those of you who have purchased them and I truly hope you enjoy the pictures.

Here is the link to the painting:

Lambeosaurus Model

Hey there! :)

Here's a Lambeosaurus I just finished. I'm not the greatest at Lighting and Rendering. I'm pretty much just a modeler and texture painter, but hopefully it passes as nice.

I had fun with the color pattern as always. Its a mix of bird and mammal coloration. I love patterns that are unique...no grey and black stripes:)

Anyway, I need to render out the Olorotitan and need to get this Lambeo up on Shapeways. Both models should be released this week from SW.

Have a great week!

Edmontosaurs Model

Edmontosaurus is one of my fav dinos. How awesome is this guy?

I'm uploading him to Shapeways along with the Gryposaurus. I've ordered both models first to make sure they are indeed printable. Sometimes they slip thru Shapeways testing phase and I have to fix them.

Anyway, they will both be available ASAP, along with some others. AND I will be selling the models I get and paint:-) So look for those on my Ebay store in the future. I'll of course post them here first.

Cheers!

Art Evolved launches...

I'm happy to be a part of a new online gallery called Art Evolved. It has officially launched today and has a great group of talented artists sharing their paleoart work with the world. The first gallery theme is the ceratopsians, those frilled and horned group of dinosaurs everyone loves.

Many thanks to all the hard work of putting this exciting blog together goes to Craig Dylke and Peter Bond who are the administrators of the site.

So, head on over, check out the art and tell the artists how much you love it! And if anyone is interested in participating, you'll find all the info you need on the site.

ART EVOVLED

WIP Styracosaurus

A new Paleo piece I just started. I have a long way to go, especially on the lead dino I need to fix a bunch of stuff, but it is looking alright.

More later...

Corythosaurus WIP

Another update. I'm trying to keep the colors muted and everything look like it is the late evening.

Sabertooth WIP

More work on the coat pattern as well as finishing up sculpting the other side of him.

Brown Bear Finish

I'm calling this one done or very close to it. Some, but not many problems creeped up during painting it (always a good thing!). A big, old, brown bear strolling through the woods.

Fox on the rocks...

I am almost there with this painting. It is big, bold and colorful...just the way I love art to be! I put in all shades of beautiful color, from oranges to greens to purples and pinks. Kind of a different take on a "red" fox. I want to try and make my art stand out and express myself through use of color. Hopefully others will like what I'm trying to say with my art.

Fishing expedition

"Fishing Expedition"

Another brown bear painting. I like the idea of painting these bears in rushing water. This one has caught a sockeye salmon for dinner. It was fun to paint all the colors and since I don't paint ultra realism, I'm allowed to put bits of red, pink and purples into the bear's coat. I think it is a fun and creative way to paint.

Fox Paintings...

"Ready or Not!"

"Fall Colors"

One of my very favorite animals, these creatures are a joy to paint. Their beautiful coloring makes for an eye catching and colorful painting.

These are painted in acrylic on Gessobord. The running fox is titled "Ready or Not!" and I tried to make this fox look like he has just spotted a rabbit or something off canvas and is bounding after it.

The other painting, "Fall Colors", was fun as far as all those beautiful colors, but it really gave me some problems! I repainted the background many times, trying to find the right amount of detail to compliment the fox. The background says "forest" without explaining every pine cone or leaf.
