Non Player Characters

For our new "Adventure" - coming soon

Concepts and final design of our Wise Old Chief character. I used Herrerasaurus as they're meant to be the oldest dinosaurs. It also felt as if we did not have enough NZ references, so this was a good chance to get some Maori theme goin on.
This character will be someone the players could seek to get hints for difficult questions


This below is Gertrude the Gastonia. She's the town's witch-like character that kids are frightened of... silly little things.
She'll be one of the NPC's the players can click on to converse with.


Oviraptor is an egg-stealing carnivore in our first "quest".
The name 'Oviraptor' actually means "egg thief" and was obviously very apt to be our little villain.


For Petra the paleontologist I thought it'd be interesting to use Troodon.
Troodon dinosaurs seemed to have the largest brains -in relative to their body) and the scientists believe that they could've possibly been the smartest species.

Interesting fact: Due to the appearance of their teeth Troodon are believed to have been omnivore creatures. They also had massive eyes that were facing forward. This would've given them good depth perception as well as some sweet vision.

DinoSawUs Museum Interior

As we are hoping to start a new quest for our young viewers, I was required to create an interior of the museum.
This scene is likely to become the sole centre of DinoSawUs' educational activities.
To promote our educational purposes, the museum interior needed to appear exquisite and possess a certain level of vastness.


It was very challenging for the interior to resemble the exterior. As the exterior had already been designed by other artists of DinoSawUs

Pencil Clean-up:


This shows how I work - in big a mess:


My attempt at somehow linking the look of interior and the exterior - by using the same colour scheme. Unfortunately, the grey tone carried too much coldness. And we're all about warmth, baby!

Dinosawus Login Page

Nice and fresh looking login page for Dinosawus. The steampunk teleporter will be used as an icon for the map, so it is very very relevant.
