I guess my old style drawing of Camarasaurus named Cameron was right there after all thanks to the paper, as better late than never.

Sharptooth Vs Tyrannor. I've had this brewing for a while now. Always wanted to do a scene with these two in a fight. It took a while but I had a lot of fun working on this one! #dinosaurs #dinosaurart #sharptooth #thelandbeforetime #dinkthelittledinosaur #tyrannosaurus #tyrannosaurusrex
Scene of two Tyrannosaurus rex characters, Sharptooth from the film "The Land Before Time" (1988) and Tyrannor from the TV show "Dink The Little Dinosaur" (1989), fighting each other at the base of a hill in a rocky yet lush primordial landscape of ferns, palmettos, and araucaria trees. In the distance, a volcano belches a cloud of ash into a blood red sky filled with purple and yellow clouds.  

Sharptooth (right) is dark olive green with a beige underbelly, has blood-red eyes and warty facial skin. He leaps through the air to pounce on Tyrannor, tail flexing upward and foot talons poised to strike. His mouth draws open, revealing rows of huge, razor-sharp teeth. 

Tyrannor (right) is stony grey with large ovular feature scales running down his sides, a flatter head compared to Sharptooth and yellow and orange eyes. He lies flat on his back, forelimbs outstretched, legs up in the air, tail twisting while staring and roaring in alarm as Sharptooth pounces on him.

This is why I’m completely jaded from all the outrage and complaints from the cartoon community. The loudest voices in there just want to hate over nothing burgers, and it’s all so meaningless that I now find their rants more cringe than the subjects that they’re ranting about.

Been a long time to drawing dinosaur in cartoony style gag, but here’s Asiatyrannus and Corythoraptor are both sitting in the bar. #asiatyrannus #corythoraptor #dinosaur #cartoongags #sketchbookapp
Both Asiatyrannus and Corythoraptor are not very happy nor impressed by recently revealed as simple specimens from two different paleo news. So this is why they’re setting on the drinking bars except the one who’s ordered iced tea, while this one on the right has drinks beer.

Fandom boundaries are long over due
A work in progress document called Fandom Boundaries so far it says This document serves solely to set boundaries for Marzy as the creator of Divine Acid. Having witnessed the behavior for the TADC fandom, Helluva Boss, Hazbin, and even Gameoverse, I feel that it is important that these boundaries are established to prevent colossal damage within the fandom space as well as the Official crew.

You are the observer. Not a participant of the creative process. This means that you are not entitled to having your head canons become canon, nor have the show/comic/game etc cater to you specifically. All creative decisions are done at the discretion of the crew and the creator of said project. Do not assume something is canon just because something happens to fall in line with your headcanon/theory.
Voice actors, animators, and other crew members are not your friends. Please remember that you are a fan. All relationships between fan and crewmember are to be kept at arms length. If at any time a crewmember wishes to block you for whatever reason, you the fan must respect their boundary

Well, safe to say, but instead of watching recent animal farm movie, let’s do both original novel (as I’m reading this today) and 1954 animated adaptation of same title by George Orwell on Tubi app.
Animal Farm is most faithful novel I’ve read (only read 3 chapters in each pages in the middle), along watching 1954 animated adaptations of George Orwell’s novel the same name to order to compare to the story.
