IT'S HERE!

THE 2026 DRAW DINOS DAILY CHALLENGE! #DRAWDINOSDAILY!

(Thank you to @vergess for the tag name!!!!)

Every day is a different dinosaur!

There is no pressure to draw or not to draw each day, if you tag a piece of art with this tag, I'll reblog it!

It doesn't have to be drawing either, if you want to write poetry or sculpt or whatever, if you tag it, I will reblog!

I'll also seek out stuff for each dinosaur for each day beyond that for the neverending queue monster

A more accessible version of the prompt list is also available here as a google doc for viewing:

But I know how much art prompt followers love a month card to add to things

I would like to thank @plokool, @albertonykus, @otussketching, @thetorterra, @raptorcivilization, @killdeercheer, @verybadpaleontologyjokes, and probably some other folks I'm forgetting for helping me come up with the prompt list without total loss of my remaining sanity, and also editing and proofreading it

(if you notice a typo, please tell me, I'm not proud)

Look at my delicate little baby!

Dinocember 2025 begins! This year, I'm trying something different, both to help myself learn a new skill, and also to keep it easier (in a way). I'm doing the bones of the dinosaurs I draw, with their bodies transposed behind them! If I like them, I hope to transfer some of them next year into linocut prints. My Day 1 for Dinocember is Compsognathus, which has a majorly complete skeleton, but is still missing some arm and tail bones. My list, for anyone else who wants to join along!

One of the most powerful warriors among the Autobots. In both robot and beast modes, he's a physical powerhouse whom, once he gets his claws or his jaws on you, will tear you apart or completely crush you to dust from sheer strength alone.

How he gained his alt-mode has remained a mystery that only he and his fellow dinobots know, but there's been suspicions he either got due to a space-bridge accident sending him off to a far off place, or from samples collected FROM said world eons ago. Regardless of the reason, one thing always remains clear: He is one of the most physically powerful cybertronians to ever live, and his strike force, the mighty and dynamic Dinobots are a force to be feared.

Grimlock himself has the guardian of the Ark for the past 20,000 years or so after it landed on Earth. The lack of energon and material to keep his guise up has caused his alt-mode's outer layers to begin deteriorating.
