Watching Nostalgia Critic's recent review of The Land Before Time gave me the urge to design some OCs, so I whipped these guys up! These two are Loni the Long Claw (Therizinosaurus) and Tyke the Three Horn (Triceratops). After sketching this I realized that I might've made Loni too short since Therizinosaurus was estimated to be around 15 feet tall, so maybe she's just short for her species or something, I dunno.
Loni is an experienced mother, having raised several chicks to adulthood over the years. She had just bid farewell to her latest batch of fully grown offspring by the time the drought happened and chose not to find another breeding partner and bring more chicks into the world during such an uncertain time. Plus, Loni was getting up in years and felt that she was getting too old to be a mother again. Or so she thought.
While trying to find her way to the Great Valley, Loni ends up rescuing a lost Three Horn calf named Tyke who was being chased by a pack of Fast Biters (Velociraptors), one of which managed to bite him on the frill which resulted in him getting a scar. Tyke had been separated from his herd (not the same herd that Cera and her family came from, though they were just as strict about the species segregation) during the earthquake and the fates of his parents were unknown, so he opts to stay with Loni for protection from predators. Since he clearly had no one else, Loni allows him to tag along and the two of them end up forming a strong bond during their journey. Loni and Tyke eventually make it to the Great Valley where they live happily together as mother and son.
Also fun fact: I based Tyke's design off of this Jurassic Park Triceratops toy that I had growing up.
Attempting to create reference sheets for Honey so that physical Honeycrisp merch can one day be mine! Not bad for a first pass I think, though I always find Honeycrisp tricky to visualize in a 3D way. I know how she's meant to look, I just find it hard to keep her consistent... you can see in this gif that it isn't perfect and yet here we are! Attempting to give it a go! Maybe I'll get better!
Got the urge to draw something Millionaire Dogs-related again and I felt like drawing Velvet. She's mentioned as being a teenager in the movie, so I decided to draw what I think she'd look like as a fully grown adult, probably about a year after the events of the film.
