New illustration for #ZoicTCG🔥 I got to revisit a Dilophosaurus I'd sculpted in 3D and explore some cool interactions in the world of Cyberzoic The Pyrodactyl's flame wings and glowing internal energy were especially fun to paint. #TCGArt

A red-brown Dilophosaurus with its mouth open charges through a dusty canyon, kicking up debris. Behind it looms a large, mechanical Pyrodactyl armor unit with a skeletal, bladed design, glowing orange internal energy, and wings made of swirling flames. The scene is illuminated by fiery orange light against a hazy desert landscape, with distant Dilophosaurus visible in the background. Zoic TCG and RAR logos appear in the bottom corners, and the artist’s social media handle is displayed at the top.

Black and white thumbnail sketch of a Dilophosaurus running forward with its mouth open, being chased down by a large mechanical Pyrodactyl armor unit. The mechanical unit has a spiked, skeletal head, segmented armor, and large flame shaped wings extending behind it. Loose pencil lines and shading establish the characters, movement, and composition, with rough outlines of flames surrounding them. Zoic TCG and RAR logos appear along the bottom, and the artist’s social media handle is displayed at the top.

Getting back to the pandora creature tonight! Going live at 6 PM PST where I'll be refining the skin details. It's sooo close to being finished! Lets see if I complete it tonight. youtube.com/live/2VFoOAu...

Full body side view of a detailed 3D alien sea creature sculpted in blue gray clay. The long, streamlined creature has an elongated head and jaw, narrow eyes, multiple fins and flipper-like appendages, a dorsal fin, tail structures, and rows of segmented plates along its neck and back. Fine skin wrinkles and surface details are visible across the body, with a dark gray background.

Side by side comparison of a 3D alien sea creature sculpt. The left side shows the older model with smooth skin and simpler forms. The right side shows the updated detail passes, with fine skin texture, wrinkles, ridges, pores, and more defined segmented plates around the body.

A comparison of where this model started and where it is currently, after several livestream sessions and a bit of extra work outside of that. I'm pretty happy with the new iteration so far. #zbrush #creaturedesign

Made some good progress during the stream last week, and I've gotten more time on this guy since then. Working mostly on the mechanics of his jaw motion and the details of his face. Also experimenting with hind fin shapes I'll be live tomorrow at 6pm. www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-4g...

Just got my sample copy of the Arctic Dragon I worked on for Cyberzoic. I new the figure was big while working on it but it always a surprise to see just how big it is in hand. The feeling of finally holding something you've only seen on the computer screen for so many hours never gets old.

an articulated dragon figure is standing on a computer desk with an intuos graphics tablet and pen for scale.

an articulated dragon figure is being held in front of a computer screen showing the 3d model behind it comparing the two stages of the sculpting process.

A large box sitting on a computer desk with keyboard and mouse behind for scale. The cover of the box features a dragon proudly standing in an ice cave with beams of light and snow falling on it.

a side view of the box art showing the names of all of the artists that worked on the figure and their roles. On the second half of the image the trading card version of the dragon illustration on the box is shown being held by the artists hand.

A sneak peak at an image I'm trying to finish up right now. One of many many images that have been sadly neglected in my hard drive lol.

a claw like hand reaches forward from the upper right of the imaged toward the viewer. It is wrapped in a black leather like material. The finger nails are a deep read and are sharply curved. The pointed tips are glowing with purple energy. There seems to be a figure behind the hand the view of the torso and legs is obscured. A purple and black wave of dark energy flows from the upper left to the front of the image like a river. It is made of an ink like substance that forms seems to be tearing it self apart and reforming as it rushes forward. Above this energy there are small bats that seem to be following it's direction. They have large mouths and glowing red eyes. One prominent bat in the foreground is looking at the view tithe its mouth open seemingly ready to attack.

Catching up on posts after a crazy couple of weeks leading up to holiday break. This sculpt of Kentrosaurus is for Creative Beast Studios. 2 variations of this guy will go into production to allow for repositioning of the shoulder/hip spike as there is some debate on where this spike is located

A 3d rendering of a kentrosuaurs. A dinosaur related to Stegosaurus. Standing in a neutral pose facing to the left. unlike stegosaurus it has smaller triagular shaped plates along its neck that transition to spikes approximately midway down it's back. This vartiation Shows kentrosaurus with Larger spikes on it's hips.

A sheet of multiple 3d renders of a kentrosuarus. A dinosaur related to Stegosaurus. Standing in a neutral pose. The upper left space shows a front view. to the right is a side view facing left. Below the top view is a back view. To it's right is a top view.

I've been slowly working through a 3D model of Talon based on my concept. I've got most of the body where I'd like it to be. I'm just starting to work on the skin texture. #creaturedesign #primalrage #talon #dinosaur

This is a slightly top-down three-quarter view of a raptor-like creature standing in a neutral pose with arms stretched in front of it and its mouth open. There is no skin coloration or pattern. The whole model is rendered in a singular glossy red material

A close-up side view of a raptor-like creature head looking to the left of the frame. It's mouth is open, revealing a curved tongue and large, irregular, sharp teeth. There is no skin coloration or pattern. The whole model is rendered in a singular glossy red material

There are so many new followers! Welcome, and Thanks for taking an interest in my work. Today, I'm sharing one of my favorite illustrations completed for Beasts of the Mesozoic Ceratopsian Series and some of the roughs I did to plan the illustration. #dinosaur #paleoart #nasutoceratops

Labocania aguillonae was announced not too long ago. I made the mistake of letting opinions regarding the dinosaurs uncertain status among tyranosaurids overshadow the work. I'm very proud of the model I created and I think @manuelbejarano.bsky.social did a fabulous job bringing it to life.

I'm a HUGE #monsterhunter fan. Had so much fun playing the Wilds demo over the past weekend. Very much looking forward to that game. I started this concept and sculpt closer to when Iceborne was released. Really want to finish it up over the coming holiday break and print it. #tigrex #3dprinting

Raul Ramos @raulramosart.bsky.social · 05/11/2024

This coelacanth took me so long to finish. This was before VDM brushes in Zbrush, and Alphas weren't giving the results I wanted, so I mapped out and raised each scale from the surface one at a time. It was a real mind game trying to stay motivated to finish. #coelacanth #livingfossil #fish #zbrush

I've got more sketchbook drawings, this time a redesign of Jirahs from Ultraman. In the show, he's pretty obviously a Godzilla suit with a frill added on, lol. But I wanted to try and give him his own identity. #creaturedesign #kaiju #godzilla #jirahs #ultraman

These are a couple pages from a collection of sketches I compiled into a small art book for a convention almost 10 yrs ago!! Time flies. I tried studying baby Ostriches/Emus and applied what I learned to some baby dragon hatchlings. These are all done in ball point pen.
