Well, we're back... in the car again.

Also suddenly a very colourful panel painted strangely. I hope the image style is recognizable for what it is. Literally seeing like that is probably not quite how that would actually work, but this should get the idea across. I tried just having the red to go with the rest of the comic's spot colour choice (though Indo's eyes already have a bit of yellow on the page where we see him), but it didn't look right.

No blood on this page for a change.

Raptor obedience thoughts

(Spoilers for Jurassic World and Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom)

Eli Mills about the Indoraptor: And thanks to Owen Grady's research, it follows human command.

That's obviously very false advertizing if he's talking about the prototype, but it's pretty baseless of an assumption even if he means the Indoraptor project in general, and the future versions they haven't created yet. Because drawing the conclusion that raptors can be made to obey humans from the raising and training of Blue and her sisters is just incorrect. They never followed human command, either.

That's what I recently claimed in one of my update commentaries for Collision, at least, so elaborating a bit on that topic.

2020 art summary

A lot of dinosaurs this year, only a few humans, but I'm having fun with the dinos and learning more and more about how to draw them. Mostly raptors, JP/W and not, but other kinds of dinos, too, occasionally. Still not a single straight one. 👍

Several 3D dinosaurs, too, in the form of figure repaints, and even one dino figure made completely from scratch! Really proud of how that turned out, especially considering how little sculpting I'd done before making Skye. There are some things I'd do differently now, but that's valuable lessons learned, too.

Quite a few comics, some pretty elaborate at that. Collision is going to continue into next year, but I've gotten a good chunk of it done already. Didn't publish a single text-only story this year, though I have a couple I might finish eventually, maybe next year.

Most of my original art this year has been dinosaurs, too, though I did get to cast my old human OCs as main characters in a dino comic, so that's fun.

Raptor shelf refurbishing

The finished JP:TG raptors, as well as that pretty box the model kit came in, have found their way to the bookless dinosaur case. They're spilling over a bit to the other half of the shelf, but I left an empty-ish spot where the double doors' frames would cover anyone standing there while they're closed. It's a spot for long tails now, got to put those somewhere. I'm glad I could fit everyone.

And the new additions, plus Dash and Dare, facing the other way where the other half of the shelf houses miscellaneous theropods (including their favorite neighbours, the Dilos, who at the moment seem more interested in cuddling than in picking a fight with the raptor pack).

More and better photos of the JP:TG trio can now be found here at my site, and here at deviantart.

Also I made Whirlwind this cute podium out of a chocolate box, so she's not too short to be seen. The podium is barely visible back there so it didn't really need to be pretty, but, why not.
