The final week of Creature Anatomy with Terryl Whitlatch! Our assignment was to finish the capstone project. I experimented with an unusual colour palette. I usually go for bright, saturated warm colours. This time I tried more muted, cool colours. Also, this is the first time I have produced a full, traditional under-drawing, rather than jumping into digital too soon. I quite like the effect but I could develop the background further to make it more immersive — at the moment it appears like an unfinished sketch. The scale of the dinobird was hard to achieve. The prey is a dragonfly from the Carboniferous period, they were lot larger than contemporary dragonflies! It's hard not to see the dragonfly as a modern size, making the dinobird appear very small.
