The Right to Keep and Arm Bears

In the last 24 hours I've scanned in more than 300 of my old drawings. This one reminds me of a Panserbjørne from the His Dark Materials trilogy - although it was drawn before I'd heard of that series. Speaking of which, the movie is coming out in December!

This saddled ornithomimid dinosaur was drawn with mechanical pencil on lined paper, then colored with colored pencils. To remove the blue lines, I first created a new transparent layer. I used the "divide" blend mode, and copied and pasted a slice of the lines from the original image into the new layer. Then I copied and pasted that slice over and over to cover all of the lines.

Here's some of my favorite Squawk drawings from the last few days of scanning:

The Dinosaur Game

The Dinosaur Game is a Squawk-related side project based on the "playing dinosaurs" games that kids play with their prehistoric animal toys or by imitating the creatures they see on TV. It's just an outline right now, but as I was scanning I discovered a couple of prehistoric scenes from the Permian period (including the image in my logo.) As well as this drawing of a six-limbed predator which I GIMPed into a Pleistocene sabretooth.
