"Utahs always use their environment to their advantage. The utahraptor’s enhanced leap is second to none on the islands, enabling them to gain elevation and maneuver around obstacles easily. Rugged terrain is preferred as it allows utahs to corral and corner prey for a takedown. Utahs in a pack are even more deadly, coordinating to hunt big prey animals that they otherwise wouldn’t stand a chance against."

- an excerpt from the Primeval Age Utahraptor information page

a commission for the ARPG Primeval-Age's of banner art for the game's info page on utahraptors, featuring some of the original utah starter imports! this has been a long time coming, and was maybe a little too overambitious on my part. i don't think i've ever done such an extensive painted cityscape before with as many pieces and components as this, and throwing in the strong lighting scenario that i wanted to play with, it was a hell of a task that i set for myself

but!

i'm really pleased with how it came out considering how infrequently i actually work with these sorts of environments. it was an interesting but really satisfying challenge to figure out how some of the reflections might work and how i could get the effect that i was looking for

there's some things that i might do differently next time i do something like this but with my current skill and knowledge, i'm more than satisfied with this being the official banner for the species in a game that i've spent 7 years of my life playing lol

happy 7th anniversary Primeval Age! which is wild to think about 😂 it's hard to believe i've been here for 7 years and ages me,,, terribly lmao

i've really appreciated the community that's developed around the group over the years, been some insane support and lead me to places that i would not have fathomed as possible 7 years ago 😂

to celebrate, PA released the neuquenraptor as a new acquirable species and has several beachy-themed prompts which i've adored working on, including this "capture the moment" photo frame and the chance for the community to design starter imports for the new species! it's been a lot of fun seeing everyone get so excited about the prompts and neuqs, love seeing all the submissions!!

been a while since i posted one of these!

since the War of Thorns event at the post-apoc dino arpg Primeval-Age finished a couple months ago, i was given the go-ahead to post all the items i worked on publicly

most of these were done in collaboration with dA user Slugg-o - i did the sketches, they did the lines and some of the colours, i did more colours, as well as finishing them up with shading and coloured linework
