Happy new Year!  Apologies for such a large image. I was going to post a smaller one and link to the blog entry, but Imageshack decided to be treacherous, so the image comes directly from the blog. |

Very nice! What are they running from? My thoughts exactly..lol Maybe it's just sheer exuberance though ? ;D |

The pictures are great, but I don't think big heavy dinosaurs could move like that. One leg on the ground and the back legs look like a bucking Bronco! Still I love your work.  |

They look like children chasing after the ice cream truck  . How do you capture so much emotion in these illustrations...such a gift. It's adorable, Niroot, well done...and belated Happy New Year to you. |

I love your color choices! I will have to remember those colors/patterns on your Stego for when I ever do a Stego repaint. You've made my favorite armored dino GORGEOUS!  And a wonderful Happy New Year back to you, Niroot! What an amazingly gifted asset you are to this forum!  |

Lovely! Impossibility aside, I always tried to imagine how a sauropod at full gallop would have looked like. |

Thank you so much, everyone. They're not running away from anything, they're enjoying themselves! It is, as Durbed and Chris K suggest, just sheer exuberance and fun. It is meant to be a happy New Year greeting, after all. ;D Their expressions haven't translated terribly well at this resolution. Though perhaps you might be able to see them in this stage. The pictures are great, but I don't think big heavy dinosaurs could move like that. One leg on the ground and the back legs look like a bucking Bronco! Such a gallop is obviously impossible in real life, but I would have thought its evident light-heartedness needed no explanation by now.  ;D I love your color choices! I will have to remember those colors/patterns on your Stego for when I ever do a Stego repaint. I was going to paint my Krentz Antediluvian Stegosaurus like that myself. ;D |

Does this mean triceratops couldn't ride tricycles?  |

Since it had such a short hindlimbs and the ankle joint has proved to be quite inflexible, I´m afraid it would be impossible for Triceratops to use the pedals. Ornithomimids, on the other hand... |

BTW, isn't that Krentz Stego rather small, if I'm remembering it correctly? Oh, what am I thinking!  You're GREAT with doing small, intricate art pieces!  |

....... You're GREAT with doing small, intricate art pieces! Oh yes, he is ......... and he's got that unique Himma-style . I surmise that already after two years I'd be able to recognise one of his drawings or paintings without knowing anything about it (Lobeshymne ;D!) |

Or you may have to wait for a very long time, at the rate I manage things. I would love to see a Stego painted in these colours. ;D You're too kind. |
