Happy 2016 from LITC

LITC 2016
Ink on hot pressed watercolour paper, 150 x 150 mm.

A little late, but not yet too late. Happy New Year to our readers from David (Anatotitan/Edmontosaurus), Asher (Dilophosaurus), Marc (Deinonychus), and me (Diplodocus). 

I made very few contributions to the blog in 2015, owing largely to moving house and a number of rather personal issues, but I very much hope that this piece is a good beginning to a more fruitful year ahead (opening the image out in a new tab for a closer view is once again recommended, *cough*). Oh, and I just wanted to mention that the basis of the boat's design was purloined and adapted from an illustration by Franklin Booth.

Many thanks to Marc for holding off his first VDA post of 2016 (a cracking one featuring Ely Kish once again, hurrah!) to allow me to make this 'opener', so to speak!

Happy New Year

Sepia ink and gouache on grey toned Strathmore paper, 144mm diameter. Image can be opened in a new tab for full view.

 

 

Not as prompt as I would have wished (prompt, me? The very idea...), but Epiphany is still a good time to wish all of our readers a very happy 2014 from the Chasmosaurs team. Regular readers will already be familiar with the four saurian portraits of the blog authors, but should you need a reminder, you may like to revisit last year's New Year greeting.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year

A little late in the proceedings, but not yet too late: a very happy New Year to all our readers from the Love in the Time of Chasmosaurs team; counter clockwise from right: David ('Anatotitan'), Asher (Dilophosaurus), Marc (Deinonychus) and me (Diplodocus).

I do recommend opening the image in a new tab for best viewing.

I would have liked to do more to this, but was obliged to call it finished, otherwise it might be March by the time I get to post it. It has already taken far longer than the rather lacklustre results would seem to warrant. I've taken a few liberties with the scale, of course (what Marc calls 'semi-authentic scale'). Nevertheless, I feel especially sheepish to be appearing so prominent, given that I'm the most ignorant and least qualified of the team. Perhaps I shall do another version someday which is more reflective of everyone's actual capacities...

Happy New Year!
