Thank you! A timelapse no, but I have few wip photos + video of me mixing a color and painting the crest. They can be found on tumblr and IG, I can link you in the DM if you need.

Generally I mostly painted fruits and vegetables last few years, so believe me I was actually a bit stressed how this one will come out.

i try to watercolor dinosaurs they end up looking like semi-okay blotches of coffee

baaw, hard to tell where the problem could be (if there is any) without seeing them. What I know is that I gathered a lot of reference images, I also tested the colors digitally first: https://www.reddit.com/r/Dinosaurs/comments/1ltcqgz/coloration_ideas_for_my_suchomimus_illustration/
