Autumn Dinos

Started this one in Monday's stream. Nice to see all 3 of the dinos getting along to enjoy the Autumn leaves. ^^

Trixie Doodles

New batch of doodles featuring the adorkable triceratops herself!

Been a hot minute since I last dedicated some drawings to just her, so these were a real treat to make. :D

Stitch Blast

Guess you could say I had a "blast" making this one! 

Started out as a doodle for fun, and turned into a fully rendered piece that I'm actually rather happy with! Love me some Stitch, and especially when he's in his alien form. :D

Updates on Stuff

Hey y'all!

Hope you're doing well! So a quick update on the Explorer and Dragon tiers. Monthly polls have been set to just polls. lol I realized since I haven't been good at keeping up with the whole "monthly" thing, I figured I'd just alter it a bit. I'll still be doing polls though, so no worries if that's a thing you're interested in. For the Dragon tier, I've replaced the monthly backgrounds with access to PSD files instead. I'll be making those available for illustrations to co...

Speed Paint: Crash and Coco

Hey guys! Here's a brand new speed paint video of a fairly recent drawing. :P

Meant to get this out sooner, but hey it is what it is. Enjoy!

New Project WIP

So I've mentioned this in a couple of my streams recently, I've been wanting to start a cartoon parody of the game "Dino Crisis". Started working on Regina doodles to get a feel for her design, as well as the standard raptors that were in the games. There will also be another, more familiar, dino in the cartoon as well, but y'all will see more of that in the next update on this. :D

Personally, I'm excited to get the ball rolling on this one. The plan is to have it ready and done before ...

Temple Hunters: Lava Trap

Jack better hurry and grab the jewel before this situation gets any worse!

--------

Had a lot of fun making this one in last night's stream. :D

Wendy Wolf: Fishing

Hey guys! Check out what's finally finished. ^^

I specifically wanted to finish the animation off stream for the sake of the joke at the end. Hope y'all enjoy!
And who knows, perhaps will see a longer cartoon starring Wendy in the future. ^^

Wendy Animation (Update)

Some new progress on this animation. As mentioned before it's just a small one I've been making on the side, just finally got around to doing more with it recently. lol

Got all the clean-up animation done, all that's left will be colors, effects animations for the water and of course some sounds to go along with it. ^^

T-Rex Paddock Attack

Winner from the last poll I put up. Fairly happy with the results on this one, wanted to do one of my favorite movie scenes justice. 

Made with Procreate on iPad, and fixed up and edited in Photoshop.

Animation Timelapse: Rockin Raptor

Hey y'all! Here's a brand new video! Been wanting to try out a "speed animation" video for some time now, and I felt that the recent one with Roxie made a great fit! (Especially considering I had the whole process recorded for once XD)

Enjoy! :D

-Brandon

(WIP) T-Rex Paddock Attack

Here's a WIP of a new piece in the works. Winner of the recent poll too. 😜
Enjoying how this one is coming along. Currently making it with Procreate, debating on using Photoshop for effects then.

Raptor Teeth

Decidedly made some self-indulgent art with this one. Was a fun pic to make too!

Now that the gears are going again I can continue my other projects. ^^;

Quick Update!

Hey guys!

Just letting y'all know I'm doing ok. Spent the weekend in good company with family, and it's helped lift me back up. I should have things up and running again tomorrow!
Thanks for your patience and understanding. Appreciate y'all. 💙

Heads up for this Week

Hey guys, just wanted to let y'all know that I might not be doing tomorrow's stream on Twitch, nor will I be able to get out this week's Dino Bones.
I have not been feeling well this week both mentally and physically, and it's been keeping me from being as productive as I'd like to be. Thankfully I was able to finish editing the new video I just shared today, but aside from that I won't be able to get anything new out til next week.
Sorry again about this, but I just need some time to ...

Speed Paint: Jurassic World Bumpy

Hey y'all! Finally got around to putting the next art video together. I've been enjoying doing this format for the recent speed paints, and I hope y'all have been liking it as well. :)

Enjoy! And thanks for your support <3

-Brandon 

Which Jurassic Park scene should I draw?

Been itching to recreate one of the iconic scenes from the series! Let me know which one you all would like to see most.  :D

Jurassic World: Bumpy

Finished this piece I started a while back! Bumpy is the best character from the "Camp Cretaceous" series and you can't convince me otherwise.  :P

-------

I've had intentions on making a speed paint video with this one, so I'll be getting to that soon enough. ^^

Groceries

The dinos have big appetites! 

--------

Sorry for the slight delay on this one. Been caught up in commission work this week. ^^;

Rockin' Raptor

Finally got this one finished y'all! It ended up turning out better than I was expecting, and the music added to it really helps. Though just to be safe, I'm going to do an alt ahead of time with copyright free music, just in case YouTube gets mad at me. lol
Now that this one is complete, on to making even more animations! :D

-Brandon 

Pool

One way or another, Trixie's going to have her summer fun. 

Short Dino Delay

Hey folks!

This week's Dino Bones comic will be up on here tomorrow. I usually try to get them finished in time to release here on Wednesdays, but that ain't the case for this week. Sorry ^^;

Thanks for your continued support y'all <3

Dino Gals

I don't think I've done a piece before that was with just Trixie and Roxie. Regardless, I think it's cute and definitely got some silly plans for future comics with them. Their relationship is a fun one too: Trixie being the happy-go-lucky girl that she is tries to push Roxie to have fun every now and then, and Roxie begrudgingly goes along with it. At least whenever she feels up to tolerating Trixie's bubbly nature. :P

Spray Paint

Should've thought that one through, Zarland. :P

Summer Dana Animated

Just your friendly neighborhood spooky gal enjoying the summer weather... at least as best as she can. ;P

Made this animation during my recent stream and finalized it afterwards. Been a long time since I last made a hinged/rigged character animation. Was a fun challenge to return to, and I may take some elements from it for some future cartoons in order to have a quicker output. But we'll see. lol

Basketball

Better luck next time, Trixie.

Speed Paint: Godzilla vs Kong

Hey y'all!

Here's an early showing of a new speed paint! I wanted to try something a little different with this one in terms of presentation, so let me know what you guys think about it!

-Brandon 

Experimental Cook

Lucy is a very persistent scientist.

--------

Hey Dinosaur Bones is finally back! Sorry to keep you all waiting. :P

Magical Vacation

Crystal and her friends enjoying a relaxing trip to the beach, to celebrate their recent animation debut! 

--------

Rather happy with the results on this one. I know Gale the Goblin only made a small cameo in the short, but I'd like to include her more in the next cartoon that will feature these characters. ^^

-Brandon

Dinos at the Pool

Made this in last night's stream. Zarland and Trixie are already making use of this heat! 

Also get ready for some new Dino Bones comics coming very soon! Y'all should be seeing them again next week. ^^
