    Ooh this sounds interesting.  A bit out of my comfort zone but I've been really getting into James Gurney lately and I really enjoyed doing the caricature challenge.  I think i'll have a go at this one too!

    thanks Charlotte. Also i can't take credit for the last two fab challenges, people need to thank you for the last one and Arthur Ritus for this one. But i have a few good ones in mind.

    On another note, i'm getting a new 'baby' tomorrow, an Congo Aftrican Grey parrot *excited*!

    WIP 1

    Very rough early concept of man using Quetzalcoatlus' (Quetzalcoatli?) as planes in WW2.  I know if one wants to be really picky pterosaurs aren't strictly classed as dinosaurs and also that Quetzalcoatlus may have been flightless.

    Re: MYFX Challenge #262 - Dinosaur Design - WIPS

    craigashforth - nice idea! it might be a good idea to crop in on your current image. since the dinosaur and rider will be the main focus of the image, you might want to zoom in on that area, and crop it out to get rid of all of the empty space around it. i think that would work alot better, plus you wouldnt have to spend as much time on the architecture and bg details, and you can just render the dino/rider up to a nice polished level.
