Description
Commissioned work.This is Dallyete Daiyka, he is a Coelophysis dinosaur, and a very intelligent one at that. He comes from a civilization akin to Rome.
Daiyka belongs to
I'm trying out a bunch of different techniques in CS3, and Daiyka was my guinea pig.
I'm quite pleased with how he turned out in the end. I'll post the unclothed version of him too in a sec. Photoshop CS3.

I really like this piece. I'm no scientist or cryptozoologist, but it looks like you may have gotten the anatomy correct (obviously based on other people's attempts as actual live dinosaurs cannot be studied being there is none known to exist still). I also like the "robes." The feel that the dinosaur is intelligent due to the clothing is wondrous to me. Also I admit that Coelophysis was one of my favorites as a child.

Coelophysis are amazingly graceful-looking dinosaurs, and this one is a fine example of his kind. He looks like a character straight out of Dinotopia with his magnificent robes and his crown shows that he's a very important member too.
Whatever techniques you were trying out, it certainly worked!

Woah, very keen. Roman-esque dinosaur is not something I'd expect, but he looks fantastic! Gurney would be proud.

Cool! Maybe now they can explain what those pitiful vestigal forearms were about. Seriously, what a waste of forearm material. They could take a lesson from you, you've been putting your forearms to a lot of use, as this painting shows.
