Baba Yaga

"Baba Yaga"

Speculative tyrannosaurid. Here is a digital painting of a speculative tyrannosaur from Kundur, Russia. 

I did a redesign of my Kundur Tyrannosaurid color design to go with the spooky look I wanted. I have always loved and wanted to try out some horror themed artwork. I looked to the artwork of Dennis Carlsson for inspiration. I fairly recently stumbled across his art on DeviantArt and on Youtube and loved it all. I am a big fan of how artists who dabble in horror art have a great eye for atmosphere and lighting to convey a sense of creepiness. You should check out his stuff.

I gave her a blind eye to add to the whole old crone vibe I was going for with this character. 

I’ve actually gotten into adding some horror-esque lighting for some of my paleoart pieces recently. Stay tuned for my xenomorph inspired Hatzegopteryx painting I’ll post around the release of Alien: Covenant.

Completed in mid February 2017.

Done using Photoshop CS5 and pencils.
