This time I found this fossil pic


and I gave it skin!


I wasn't quite certain if that was a fang or just a big lower tooth jutting up so I went with the thumb rule of "whatever's cooler".

hyracotherium? If so yeah, it's just a tooth.

I tineye'd the image and the fossil is apparently Eurohippus messelensis! Although it seems the same fossil appears with the name Propalaeotherium parvulum in the wikimedia commons which is somehow a synonym. Who decides this stuff?


So this is me the past couple of days.
I noted that the triceratops skull leaves room for huuuuge sinuses and I thought "what if they had like this blow-uppable skin part like frogs but for their sinuses and then they can go honk" but it didn't turn out and the dino looks ill.



And I ended up with "what if cats were dinosaurs"

i asked this in the trad thread but how do you scan colored pencil and make it not look like garbage

The only way I've ever scanned ANYTHING and made it not look like garbage is this one magic trick:
a) give up and go digital in the first place, it's impossible to fix coloured scans, just give up

I say coloured because you can still usually get an ok scan out of lineart or something that's pleasantly one-toned or grey. I guess pros have like super scanning machines, but no matter what I've ever tried, the scanner seems to very harshly "spike" any light/dark variation in colour, making it stand out, or wash out colour completely while still happily reproducing any bends in the paper.
Other options include using those coloured pencils that are also watercolours to at least smooth the large areas or possibly doing a light overlay with a blur/mixing tool. Here, I even used a full two minutes running a smudge tool over the pic to show you if this is what you want, walla:


I can't wait to catch an Alolan form vulpix, too.
Instead I drew this.

Wowporn posted:

I can get a lot of my stuff to scan at least alright, especially b/w inkwork and stuff done in copic markers, it really just seems like the texture of the pencils totally fucks with the scanner's head. The blurring kinda helped but I hate that look it gives it where it looks like texture from a ps1 game

Solution: only do fanart of ps1 games from now on and you'll be killing it!

Realtalk: absolutely try what dupersaurus and heavy liquid say, because it's not just pencils that scanners can't handle. Here's an outtake of an old acrylic piece that I scanned back in the day, then realized that the textures of the dry brush will always look terrible:

I SHOULD HAVE USED A CAMERA

As reference, a bit of a watercolour piece that scanned juuuust fine:
