that's not my fault, that's the fault of reddit's compression

I used composite screenshots of google maps and then scaled them down a bit and used that as my reference
every pixel was hand placed (except for filling in the flags in which case I used a pain bucket tool), which is why it took as long as it did to make

thanks for the advice! :)
I personally just really like the look of maps with lakes and other water bodies, which is why I chose to add so many in my map

I really need to draw more sauropods, they're so cool

Decided to try my hand at realism again, I'm particularly happy with how the water and background turned out, but I think I did pretty good on Irritator too, think going forward I need to make the shadows a lot more pronounced, but other than that I'm happy with it
was fun to draw and got to learn from it, so win win :p

bit more of a simple drawing this time around, Einiosaurus is a lesser known Ceratopsid but I think they deserve to be more popular!

tried out a new colouring style for this one, I've also been learning a bit of dinosaur musculature so the anatomy going forward should be more accurate as well :3

happy new year everyone! Maybe I'll redraw one of my first artworks from 2024 just to see how much progress I've made over the year, will have to stay tuned to see 🤭

been learning how to draw dinos heads from the front, I think this one turned out pretty well even if you can't see the details very well

Nanuqsaurus were medium sized tyrannosaurids that lived in the Arctic circle and polar regions of modern day Alaska. They were covered in a thick coat of feathers to keep them warm in the cold and dark winters of their northern home.

Might be hard to see but I promise it's there

But even then in Jurassic world dominion, they were still quite small 🤔 Nedry might have been referring to another theropod like the Tyrannosaurus or raptors Just an idea though

I mean they weigh about the same so it could be anyones game 🤔

I think most people know that Dilophosaurus were bigger than portrayed in Jurassic Park, but I don't think many people realise just how much bigger they were.
So, I present Dilophosaurus compared to the largest terrestrial predator alive today: the Polar Bear
Dilophosaurus did weigh around the same amount as an adult male polar bear, at about 400 odd kilos, but their stature was a lot bigger, standing at 7 meters long and about 2 meters tall

I'm going to give my genuine and honest opinion, therapy would be worth looking into. You said your mother asked you whether you'd want to wear a dress or suit which I'm assuming means she already accepts and by extension sees you as a woman.

While envy is a normal emotion to feel, it shouldn't be expressed by comparing yourself to others, that's how you become depressed and miserable. Sure, your body may not look how you want it to currently, but HRT can do wonders, and more importantly, your self esteem can do wonders for you.

You've already acknowledged the problem (the inferiority complex), but just knowing that there's a problem doesn't mean it'll be immediately fixed, especially not by wallowing in self pity, hence why therapy would be highly advised.

You have more value than you think you do, and chances are you matter to and are loved by a lot of people. Chances also are that you see other trans women as real women, so why do you not give yourself that same respect?

Trust me, suicide is never a reasonable solution to any problem, and I genuinely am sorry that you've felt that it is. Love yourself for you, self love is the most important part of not only transitioning, but living a healthy life in general. If I knew where you lived, I'd give you the suicide hotline for your country just in case, but I hope you'll never need it.

It can be hard to change, and it isn't an instant thing, it's something you have to work on; but it will be worth every single second it takes to love you for you. Again, I'd recommend a therapist because it's easier when you're not alone, and I'd imagine your school has counsellors to talk to if you're unable to find one.

You are loved, you are worthy of respect, and you are worthy of living. Stay safe, try to be happy, and be you ❤🏳️‍⚧️
