As you guys might know, I'm a huge fan of the TV show, Dinosaur Train, it's an educational TV show that does take creative liberties with it's designs, me and my brother decided to draw some of the characters from that show to be a bit more realistic in a sense, they still have a few creative liberties but we intended to make them look more authentic to what the animals are supposed to look like.
First off is the main protagonist of the show, Buddy was a Tyrannosaurus Rex who was adopted by a family of Pteranodons, in the show he is small and has a big head with a short body, but here he's been redesigned to look much closer to what a Tyrannosaurus looks like, he's much more muscular, but we still tried to stay faithful to his original design by leaving in his colors and the fact that his eye still looks cartoony.
Next up is the deuteragonist of the show, that being one of Buddy's adopted family members, his sister Tiny, in the show she also has a bit head and a short body like Buddy, and she has noticable bat like wings that aren't present on real Pteranodons, here she's much more accurate, with her wings not looking like bat wings anymore, and her wing membranes now have cream as their main color, her head is also drastically different but her eyes and crest are relatively similar.
I'll be posting more of these in the future, so let me know your thoughts.
