I need to paint a lot more, I've been slacking. Also I seem to not try enough when it comes to painting the setting, not enough imagination put on it. I already was gonna post this pic a bit earlier but pushed it further with lots more clothing on the dino.

Ya know you really should finish that, I really like the time of day it is, very dreamy, and I reckon it'd make a good painting, s' got tha' feel goin' on.

Cool man, reminds me of Dinotopia

Looks damn cool, Gecko! the colors are wonderful. Only crit: Dino's body looks too "stiff"..

your dinopics are awesome.
very cool drawing and colors. perhaps some more detail is needed here and there.
very cool fantasy world...

And what wonderful clothes they are, too. I can almost feel the desert sun burning my face when I look at that picture. You're one of my favourite artists--no, my favourite artist--on the forums, and it's pictures like this that do it for me.

Usually, I'd try to come up with some sort of useful critique, but I've been up all night and am feeling sullen and uncommunicative. So I'm just going to have to tell you I like it, and all the imagination that went into it, and leave it at that.

I like it - but I'm still saying it's out of balance

i like! very nice design on the creature. the characters look a little goofy, i think.

That's a weird dinosaur, there's something wrong with its legs...
And the characters are a bit too simple.
Also, the shadow is a bit too straight, only my opinion.

Great dino!

I LOVE the colors and the clothes.
I really have to learn to paint like that.

Keep on Gecko! I really would like to motivate you more but I think nobody is able to do that at the moment.

I'm in awe Gecko, thats truly beautiful. Or beautastic. So good, a new word to describe it was needed

Nice, I have also admired your little series here...

This dino seems to be unbalanced because of the right leg I think.. it seems stuck on like a plastic toy.. perhaps becuase of the cloth decoration there, you neglected the leg a bit.
