Iguanodon walk cycle study for Dinosaur (2000)

Early animation and concept tests from 1996, at first with CGI background, then with live action backplate. 

Evolution of the characters I. - Aladar

Evolution of the characters II. - Kron

Evolution of the characters III. - Bruton

As it’s known, Aladar was raised by the lemurs, that’s why his way of thinking is completely different from the other dinosaurs. But their influence is not limited to his way of thinking. He shows some lemur-like behavioral traits as well during the movie. Originally the filmmakers wanted him to behave and move more like a lemur, but they rejected the idea with the exception of some brief movements.

That sassy tail swish which Aladar shows to Kron was actually intended to be one of them, it’s the same gesture, which was made by both Plio and Yar in the beginning of the movie.

Upon looking into it more, Gronzi was the name of the original antagonist of the early concept for Dinosaur. Gronzi was originally a Tyrannosaurus. Had the name Gronzi stayed, it would have been the only character outside of Suri that survived into the final product.

I think it would have been pretty cool if they kept the carnotaurs as characters rather than villainous "sharp tooth" like monsters.

I just needed to get my mind off of The Good Dino… ; -; it was so bad omg.. so yeah have Zini and Aladar, my sons :3

Kron, though he fills the role of an antagonist, wasn’t intended to be a villain, as his supervising animator, Eamonn Butler has stated.

“What interested me about Kron was that I didn’t see him as a villain at all. (…)

I kind of saw him as a fallen hero. I found anchors for the character that I could envision. Here’s a guy who’s lived in fear most of his life: always on the run, living in fear of terrifying creatures, being forced out of his home, always moving. What would you turn into? Kron has had to become tough to survive. 

He is also the biggest, strongest, best-looking guy in the herd - the alpha male - but it’s a constant struggle for leadership, because he’s always being challenged for that position. So not only does he face threat from the external predators, he’s facing a constant challenge to his position from withing the Herd. 

So here’s a guy who lives in a very hostile environment. Everywhere he goes there’s a challenge and a threat. So I gave him this determination. If he has to get the Herd somewhere he’s gotta get them there no matter what - even if that means sacrificing some of the weak. I thought that made him strong but fallible. To me that was heroic in its own way.”

Some notes and sketches about the fictional behaviour of various dinosaur species made for the movie Dinosaur by Ricardo Delgado

Yiiihhh

Watched Dinosaur last night after sooooo long, so I basically went on a mini field trip of nostalgia–and then decided to try sketching him.  Last time I did, I was around… 6 or 7.  If my younger self could see this, she’d freak out so bad.

A gif from some animation test sample frames shared by Mark Anthony Austin, the supervising character animator of Aladar and Aladar’s mom: 

“This was the test that landed me the lead on the hero character in #Disney “Dinosaur”. They loved the weight and natural feel. I based it upon a dust bath behavior typical of horses. Trouble was to achieve weight and scale you need hundreds of frames of film when the average shot length is 3 feet of film or 72 frames only.” 

I watched Dinosaur again after 5+ years and I’m still in love

Various dinosaurs designed by artist Ricardo Delgado for Disney’s DINOSAUR (2000, Dir. Ralph Zondag & Eric Leighton). Delgado is a prolific film and comic book artist who has worked on over 50 film and television projects but is perhaps best known by many as the creator of the two time Eisner Award winning dinosaur comic book series AGE OF REPTILES (1993 - Present).

Most of the art seen here was done between 1994 and 1996. One of the hallmarks of Delgado’s dinosaurs is how he bases their color schemes off of living animals that he feels occupy the same evolutionary niche that a particular dinosaur might have. Ergo you have a giraffe-like Amargasaurus, a Velociraptor with cheetah spots and zebra striped hadrosaurs. It’s also worth noting how palentologicaly progressive many of Delgado’s designs are. Take note of both the feathers on his Stygimoloch and the quills on his baby Stegosaurus.

My new profile picture

But I post it as a finished art too (feral thingy soundwave)

I've spent so much time drawing this and it's finally done

I can not believe it

Tfp Soundwave my beloved

I fell in love with my idea of "feral soundwave"

So I've decided to make an AU!

How about "Sparkeater Soundwave"?

This drawing is the very beginning of my AU and there's gonna be more!

Sparkeater Soundwave! I remember my follower comented that it would be better if my Feralvave had his mouth suitable for eating sparks, so here it is!

(Also i remember someone tagging my art with "Feralvave". I don't remember who you are, but I adore this name you gave my Soundwave!)

My coverpiece for @vaporexzines! It was lovely to work on this, I tried to imagine a Cybertron of prosperity, and Soundwave's home. Definitely recommend checking out the full zine!!

flier wings

Some more dragon!Prowl stuff!

Predatigger VS Megasnappy

another bloodborne-ish boss lol (Blurr for scale)

Through thick and thin.

Commission for @charlienitram

She does some really awesome cosplay too! :D So check her out! 

What kind of dragon would Soundwave be?

A bloodborne boss.

Ratchet's as old as time before the great war he worked as a medic working by the sea side healing travelers he's a strong seawing with a skywing ansetory which gave him his rather redder tone in scales.

He's mostly seen grumpy but if you catch him at the right time of day he's rather calm and nice also no matter what you do do not touch his tools he's rather protective.

But he doesn't bite so if you need a talon with anything medical related just talk to him! Oh and Bee's doing great he working now so that's something new! Anyways I cant wait to hear back from you!

Love, Orion pax.

edit: and to clear some things up cuz yes this is a lil confusing the scrolls or letters as post war but designs are prewar!

based off my friend's commentary whilst watching the 'Orion Pax' arc of Transformers Prime:

"I'm sorry, but if i woke up from a million year 'coma' and you asked me to call you 'LORD'... you need humbling'

edit: friend is @machinatings <3 they are slowly watching transformers
