[libelelle]

Its so sad when gamers have no interest in a games storyline like broooo the developpers themes and ideas. You dont care about their characters? You dont care about their plot and development? You just want to hit things a lot till they die?

Rdr2 + Dinosaurs!

Felt like combining two of my interests so that I could practice drawing both! (And develop a style with lineart because that's something I'm still getting used to lol). Wanted to add some explanations for each choice too in case you guys were curious!

Arthur and The Shire | Yutyrannus

I wasn't entirely sure where I wanted to go with him at first. High honor, low honor - in these cases he might have something different - but I wanted to make the dinosaur somewhat 'universal.' Since I started playing Rdr2 for a third time, my choice was definitely influenced by the general Ambarino environment. But it was also determined by 'first impressions.' What did Thomas Downes think when first seeing Arthur? What about Jimmy Brooks? While you can redeem (haha) Arthur later on, there's no denying he's a bit more intimidating/aggressive at the start of the game. I went with the Yutyrannus based on that - he's the gang's scary muscle (allll those Strauss missions), and he would need a dino of a similar type to match that!!

Bill and Brown Jack | Ankylosaurus

While I was thinking about Bill too, I knew EXACTLY which dinosaur I wanted to go for when I looked at Brown Jack. That horse would've been an Ankylosaurus in another life.

Charles and Taima | Styracosaurus

Charles was easy - I knew I wanted Taima to be within the Ceratopsidae family (they felt kinda similar to bison, in a way?), and I landed on the Styracosaurus because I really wanted to draw those fun horns :D

Dutch and The Count | Quetzalcoatlus

OKAY YES NOT A DINOSAUR. But I NEEDED Dutch to have a Quetzalcoatlus. Dutch would want something flashy (thinking about how you have to upgrade his tent first before anyone else's for 'morale'), so I know for a fact he'd go for the largest flying reptile ever... maybe getting to Tahiti isn't a crazy idea after all.

Hosea and Silver Dollar | Maiasaura

Maiasaura means 'good mother' (lizard) - pretty self-explanatory I'd say :')

Javier and Boaz | Maip Macrothorax

UH. Honestly. I don't know why. This one was purely about vibes and these were the vibes I went with.

John and Old Boy | Carnotaurus

Carnotaurus means "meat-eating bull" - I was thinking a bit about the epilogue (farming for beginners), and John trying out ranching in general. Also! I think it fits Old Boy too.

Karen and Old Belle | Stegosaurus

I love Karen SO MUCH. She's a little prickly on the outside, but with her reaction to Molly and some of her conversations with the other girls - idk. I felt like a spiky herbivore was the best pick for her.

Kieran and Branwen | Parasaurolophus

His was what started this whole thing! (Can you tell he's my favorite I draw him so much). I knew I wanted to draw him with a Parasaurolophus so quickly that I had to make searches like 'duck-billed dino with horn thing?' 'duck-billed dino that makes noise with head?' Don't ask me wtf those searches are, I completely forgot the name, I only had the vision LOL.

Lenny and Maggie | Gallimimus

I wanted something that felt playful? For Lenny. And while we don't know how "playful" dinosaurs were, they're animals, animals are playful, and I know that I can watch birds do whatever the hell they want all day, so I went with a dinosaur that felt a bit closer to its later evolutionary counterparts - the Gallimimus!

Micah and Baylock | Utahraptor

Yeahh this one was easy too. I just kept thinking about which dinosaur would encapsulate that blue-eyed stare. I love Baylock too, nearly as much as I love raptors in general, so I had to match them up.

Sadie and Bob | Dilophosaurus

I felt like she'd have a smaller carnivore of some type - swift and fierce. I also think Bob, the horse, worked really well as a Dilophosaurus? He was one of the easiest ones to draw because the patterns of the horse were SO pleasing to work with.

Sean and Ennis | Spinosaurus

I debated what to do for Sean A LOT. Then I thought about his interactions with Arthur and how his choice of dinosaur might be influenced by that - sort of a, following in his footsteps thing.

Trelawny and Gwydion | Kelenken

He would 100% travel around with his terror bird and put on (con) shows. I figured he'd accessorize Gwydion a lot too, make him flashy and unassuming to any of his future targets.

Uncle and Nell II | Deinocheirus

He needed a dinosaur that would laze about with him and I thought an older-looking Deinocheirus would be PERFECT. Honestly any dinosaur that could provide Uncle with shade was a potential choice LOL

RDR2 Eyes

Wish I could draw every character from this game but these kinda take me a while to draw unfortunately :( I will definitely draw at least a few more characters and perhaps in a few years I can draw everyone haha

This year has been quite trying, but I'm happy that I discovered a love of making these horse animations in 2023.
