First a few test drawings of how I wanted my saurus to look. Then to cut out bits of paper for the pyramid and set up the page Then mapping out the constellation and the rest of the page. Scan it and enter MS Paint. First draft Contest entry
Somewhat inspired by that deco film poster look with the pyramid, original inspiration : And going for a Frank Miller noir style for the saurus face sort of like this: Didn't quite accomplish exactly what I wanted but came pretty close!
And a bunch of the things I did to lead up to the contest. Really wanted to try to keep people interested. So doodles and dioramas:
Yes, thanks for keeping the hype up on the art comp thread when I didn't have time to. If we subtract the number of posts you did, and the number of times I viewed them, there were still over 3000 legitimate views, and of course the comp entries speak for themselves. I've enjoyed seeing these all together in one place, and enjoyed remembering the context of each one. Happy days.
