Dinosaurs vs. Zulus...

This started as a quick day project between work for someone who is making a Games-Workshop style game which involves Dinosaurs and Zulus, and they asked for a picture illustrating this...
First up is my sketch which I scanned and used Photoshop to edit the tones a little (below)...


Then I added a little bit of dramatic text and coloured and textured my background... at this point I had been working on it one evening and one morning...


Obviously the text was just for dramatic effect (and to be honest, largely for my own amusement) so wouldn't be in the final image... I did consider painting this, as I haven't painted for a while, but once I started playing in Photoshop I started to enjoy that look more and ended up just diving into it!


I added a little more depth by changing the layer colours as I wasn't happy with how green it was... and then finally...


I gave the Spinosaurus a nice striped pattern to fit his habitat, plus some little wounds around his eyes from the Zulu's pointy feathered stick!

This is my final image so far, as of yet it hasn't been viewed, so it's subject to change!

Oh, and time-check... two evenings and a morning so far!
