It's still cool out, have some art :D
Doodled last night before bed in oc and some color thrown on quickly in ps. The design is actually inspired by a zonkey (a zebra donkey hybrid). I think I'll give him another go sometime and mess around with the markings more since I am not completely won over by these. The body build was aimed more at looking like a snow leopard or lynx. I love big fluffy floppy paws and thick coats x)...and add a prehistoric twist and I am a happy camper.
So I was gonna hold off sharing him until I got the costume done, but meh. I can't seem to find any red/brown furs that are perfect for a st. bernard...so it may still be a while. I grew up with St. Bernards as a kid back in Russia. When we immigrated we somehow managed to bring a puppy (Pillar) with us to the states. Considering how hard it was for us to escape the USSR(at the time) as it was, I am surprised we managed to get her over here with us. I remember us hiding her in our train compartments xP. I also remember how heartbroken I was when we lost her in the states due to heartworms, which we never knew existed (since we never had problems with them in Russia). To this day I still love St. Bernards and so 'Up' is my homage to that love and to the furry siblings I shared my childhood with. The name has an obvious inspiration...but also just an abbreviated version of pup='up.
'Up with his patch bandana; the patches from the various places he's gone on adventure to.
And I finally dug up the second dinosaur riding picture doodled in OC with Bagheera. The way I figure it, my dinosaur ate the utahraptor :D...raawr.

I will do something better when my brain is not dead 8[. I always think of being a kid back in Russia when I see your work..and it especially makes me recall vividly playing in the forest and picking mushrooms with my parents...and those BIG poofy bows I had to wear in school xD. So I hope you can forgive Thistle having them forced upon her.
