10 Questions Meme

:iconewilloughby:

Tagged by ~ChocolateStarfire! I hope it's okay that I don't tag anyone and write my own set of questions, but I don't mind answering your set. ;)

1. If you could pick any dinosaur to have as a pet, which would you choose?

Microraptor! Small, adorable, fascinating, and apparently easy to feed. ;)

2. If you were stuck on a deserted island that somehow had satellite access to crappy cable TV, and you only had Gilligan's Island reruns, Jersey Shore marathons, or Ancient Aliens marathons to watch, which would you suffer through?

Um… I'd probably be off looking at all the birds on the deserted island instead of watching television. Or I'd be trying to figure out how a cable/electrical hookup works without, presumably, electricity and cable access. But, if I had to choose… Gilligan's Island, probably, to gather ideas on getting off the island...

3. Star Trek or Star Wars?

That's close, but probably Star Trek.

4. Twilight Sparkle or Pinkie Pie?

Twilight Sparkle. Pinkie Pie is funny but only palatable in small doses. Twilight Sparkle is much more, well, relatable.

5. What language(s) besides English can you speak/read/write?

I can speak/read/write small snatches of a wide variety, but am fluent in nothing!

6. Name a country you'd like to visit.

New Zealand!

7. Do you like SpongeBob SquarePants?

I haven't thought about Spongebob in years, but I used to find some of them kinda funny.

8. What type of music do you like to listen to when you're studying/relaxing?

I can't read, write or study to any music that has a lyrical component, so my "work" music is usually movie scores, classical, or video game music.

9. What is one food you can never live without?

Gosh, I have to pick just one? I guess sushi, then.

10. What's your favorite video game system?

It's really close between the Super Nintendo and the N64! Not sure if I could choose between them. I guess probably N64 because my top 2 favorite games are N64 games (Ocarina of Time and Perfect Dark), but it is very very close.

I believe I have come to a point where I want to move on to colouring, though if you have any suggests I will wait for them :3

I noticed you like to do dinosaurs, and I was wondering, have you ever tried a ''Rutiodon carolinensis''? That's a gharial-like creature, but with the nostrils up by the eyes instead of at the bulb at the end of the muzzle, that was discovered in my home state of North Carolina. If you want a look at the skeleton, see here ---> [link] This isn't a request, by the way - it's just that I find it odd that this is one of the few dinosaur skeletons that was found almost intact, and yet it isn't ever discussed or popularized much.

It seems that nowadays, I don't often illustrate anything just because I'd like to... I do what I'm paid/contracted to do. ^^; That said, I would certainly enjoy trying my hand at a Rutiodon if my work necessitated it! Though I will say I'm more skilled (and more practiced) at feathers than I am scales. It is quite an interesting animal (though classified as a primitive archosaur (phytosaur), not a dinosaur!). I know that Rutiodon was featured in the documentary "When Dinosaurs Roamed America" but outside of that I think you're right, it's a shame that it hasn't had much exposure in popular media.

Incidentally, North Carolina is my home state, too! May I ask what part you're from?

I live on the NC/SC border, near Carowinds Theme Park.

Cool! I'm from the NC/SC border too, but much further west. :D

Also, I was wondering, what are your policies on commissions/point commissions/trades?
Reply
:iconewilloughby:
*EWilloughby 4 days ago
Unfortunately, I don't do trades or point trades, and I rarely do commissions. I will consider a commission based on the subject matter, though I very rarely have time for them anymore. If you have a specific idea you'd like to discuss, feel free to send me a note. :)

Hey

I know we don't haven't really talked much for a while, but I was wondering if you could help me with something?
I started a sketch about 7 hours ago and I've been playing with it almost constantly, but I can't seem to make it look right.

First raptor I've drawn since that Microraptor picture I did almost 2 years ago.

Thanks :3

Hey!

That's looking pretty cool so far, I love the pose and the angle. Before I can critique, may I ask what species of dromaeosaur it's supposed to be? The proportions, feathering and head shape will vary depending.

Also, do you want me to try doing a redline, or just give suggestions for improvement?
Reply
:iconcetaceaphile:
~Cetaceaphile 5 days ago  Hobbyist General Artist
I'd say Utahraptor, but as my anatomical ability is pretty low I'd have to say I was just aiming for 'generic large dromaeaosaur' :L

Had to google redline, but it sounds cool. xD If you think you can explain things better that way that would be epic :3

Hi!

Here's a very rough redline for the changes I made: [link]

Sorry if it looks like I scribbled over the whole thing basically. You're definitely on the right track and a lot of the modifications I made are kind of nitpicky. Sorry also if it's too messy/illegible. Please feel free to ask for clarification on any particular thing if it's hard to figure out.

Hello.

Im working on a story with dinosaurs thats gonna be mutants BUT look like reagular dinosaurs with feathers and all. I have a idea of add a flying dromeosaurid in the size of Utahraptor i bigger, in reality it wouldnt work but its sci-fi. i plan on design it with legwings and large wings making it more belivable for it to fly., how would you do ?

*EWilloughby May 13, 2013
As you point out, the idea of a dromaeosaur the size of Utahraptor being volant is really farfetched by its nature, so I'm not sur what else to say. There really is no way to make a creature the size of Utahraptor being able to fly "believable", unless you want to strap rockets to its back. =p
