THE FIRST TIME I FINISHED AN ANIMATION THAT ISN’T A M.A.P PART, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
Anyway,
this was supposed to a animation practice but I liked how it turned out
so I took and finishing it. Though I got pretty exhausted when I worked
with the bg XD
Also the quality isn’t as good as the original since it’s gif file. I tried to make it in better quality but meh.
Here we have a dromaeosauridae doing…something :V
So over the last month I have worked on this animation where we see mommy Oviraptor and her floofies.
The
sketch took the most amount of time as I use more sketch layers in
order to make better movements and flows. Still there are lot I need to
practice and improve.
The gif, file have ruined the quality I
know. If anyone knows how to export full quality gif animation I would
be very happy to hear.
Head rotation tips - recorded a demo for my upcoming Intro to 2D Animation Tutorial Package. I talk about flipping, tracking techniques and utilizing arcs to maintain solid drawing.
And second day for the Utahraptor week, which I did this paleoart for.
Still need a lot of practice with drawing water. :V
I’m kinda stuck with an mtmte animation I’m doing so I animated a sketch run cycle of Ravage :V. Dunno if I’ll finish either of them.
Ending the lost light festival with a lil’ Rodimus animation.
Anyway, so many amazing artist took a participate this year and I just want to say well done making so much art this month! \OUO/
And soon I’ll go back drawing dinobirbs
It’s dinosaur day, so I thought it would be a good opportunity to upload my paleoart of a sleeping Allosaurus.
I might or might not died once or twice while drawing those rocks and skin details

Name: Changzuiornis ahgmi
Name Meaning: The Longest Bird
First Described: 2016
Described By: Huang et al.
Classification: Dinosauria, Theropoda, Neotheropoda, Averostra, Tetanurae, Orionides, Avetheropoda, Coelurosauria, Tyrannoraptora, Maniraptoriformes, Maniraptora, Pennaraptora, Paraves, Eumaniraptora, Averaptora, Avialae, Euavialae, Avebrevicauda, Pygostylia, Ornithothoraces, Euornithes, Ornithuromorpha, Ornithurae
Changzuiornis is a recently described Ornithuran from the Jiufotang Formation of Liaoning, China, living about 122 million years ago, in the Aptian age of the Early Cretaceous. It was, thus, almost a modern bird, with strong flight ability like living dinosaurs. It had many teeth, however, in its lower jaw, though they were very small and this bird was on the line towards the evolution of modern bird beaks. Interestingly enough, it had an extremely long snout, which made up 68% of the total length of the skull and lead to the name of this dinosaur. It was probably the same dinosaur as Juehuaornis, much like Dingavis, and since Juehuaornis came first, the name Changzuiornis would be dropped. It probably had a unique ecological niche in the Jehol Biota, though what that niche is hasn’t really been hypothesized.

A rather young Diplodocus at the dry seasons where many plants die of thirst. The sauropod is
in constant search on food and also living of by his own fat as
that he had gathered during the richer season.
Alrighty. Another paleoart done! I guess thing that took the longest to draw was the ground, which I was stuck for about a week… :’D
I still need to practice more into realistic animals, especially scales.
turkey and azerbaijan are attacking armenia right now, and it’s 1915 all over again because the world is distracted and people are too busy wondering if they’re gonna live or die, and who gives a shit about my country anyway? my mum told me to tell my friends and explain to them what’s happening and that we are the victims in this war because azerbaijan is spreading lies and people are believing their lies and i told her, what good is that going to do? do you think anyone’s going to come to our aid? is russia going to help us? is america? is england? erdogan said they will finish what their ancestors started, and he means genocide. he means ethnic cleansing. he means to massacre every last one of us. and in doing so admitted to the very same thing turkey has spent 105 years denying. i don’t know who to tell and what good telling people will do because we’re a small, insignificant country, and we have nothing to offer to the people in power, the handful who rule the world. so i sit here with my pain and i feel helpless. i know there’s twitter threads and links to petitions and people being urged to contact their senators, and sorry if im being pessimistic, but azerbaijan has been attacking us for the last 22 years, and though we defend ourselves, we can’t do anything to stop them. they’ve violated ceasefires (and geneva conventions) multiple times. i don’t think they’ll rest until every last one of us is dead.
we just want peace. we just want to live peacefully. we’re not asking for a lot here.
Watching this happen I’ve been so scared there is going to be another genocide and nobody would notice. My whole life I’ve hated how forgettable armenian people seem to be to the world. Protect armenian people or rot, please don’t turn a blind eye to us again. And same as above, reblog or unfollow.
here are some cold hard facts for those interested:
1. after losing the war in 1994, the az government spent the next nearly 30 years on a) dehumanizing armenians, b) blaming armenians and losing the war for the terrible socioeconomic state of the people in this oil-rich country while president and his family steal all of the money their oil produces, c) pushing armenophobic propaganda on the population since kindergarten age, d) oppressing and humiliating the other ethnic minorities living on its territories, e) regularly violating the ceasefire of 1994 whenever the internal situation get tense and the ppl get angry, f) selectively sending the youths of said ethnic minorities to the bloodiest parts of the frontline whenever said ceasefire violations happen, g) suppressing free speech, arresting journalists, harassing and threatening those who dare to voice their discontent, etc.
2. in early 1920s, josef stalin, in order to appease the new turkish “republic” and its leader ataturk, with the hopes of using turkey as the base for spreading the communist revolution further into asia, passed artsakh (also known as nagorno karabagh) with its 95% ethnic armenian population onto the new created turkic azerbaijan republic (a country that did not exist before 1918, that’s what newly created means), despite the opposition from the people of the region in question and the republic of armenia.
3. during the 70 or so years that artsakh was part of the azerbaijan republic as an autonomous region, the gov of azerbaijan did everything they could to a) suppress the development of the region, b) change the demographic of the region by moving turkic population to artsakh
4. in 1980s, the people of artsakh, utilizing their rights stipulated in the soviet constitution, petitioned both moscow and baku to be allowed to reunite with armenia. as a response to this, the azerbaijan government started large-scale repressions against the organizers and activists of the reunification movement. arrests on made up charges, threats and violence followed (more info on all that in the link provided below)
5. the people of artsakh then held a referendum as was their right under soviet constitution, and more than 90% of it’s population voted in favor of seceding from the azerbaijan republic. the response to this were the anti-armenian pogroms in baku and sumgait ( https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1990-01-18-mn-305-story.html)
6. all this grew into the first artsakh war, which azerbaijan lost, as mentioned in point 1.
to sum it up: artsakh was never a part of the independent azerbaijan republic, during it’s brief 70-year forced az control its indigenous armenian people were oppressed via various government policies, the people of artsakh deserve to live a free and happy life in their homeland, free of threats and fear of annihilation that is sure to happen if azerbaijan takes control of the region
to them, it’s just a territory and they want that territory without the people.

then, this: on what actually happens to armenian lands and cultural heritage when it’s in azerbaijani hands

while you are at it, read up on the armenian genocide and keep in mind that turkey, specifically for this war, moved syrian jihadists to azerbaijan to fight against armenia and artsakh. read up on the kind of internationally banned ammunition azerbaijan has been using against the civilians in artsakh capital, and then maybe make your judgement.
oh, and if anyone tries to frame this as an islam vs christianity thing, send them to hell, regardless of the side they claim to support, bc this isn’t it.
I reblogged a post about this yesterday, but is there something we can do other than spreading awareness?
spreading awareness is HUGE because azeris are spreading lies (mainly on twitter bc apparently thats the only social media they’re allowed to use atm? i haven’t verified this but it checks out with the dictator in powet lol) and it’s really really really important for us to counter their lies with FACTS. like there’s far few of us and we don’t have any bots lmao so it’s really hard to get people to listen to us.
cardi b apparently made a post about it, talking about how there’s a genocide going on in armenia, and azeris started harassing her so she sort of backtracked and said something like “i didn’t know there was two sides to this” and like it’s not the only person they’ve done this to!
this video on twitter actually explains their tactics (the girl in the video is basically translating azeri post) how they target people who speak out in support of armenia and make them rescind their support.
so yeah. it’s important for us to fight against the misinformation. and i think i have no respect for any armenian person who chooses to not engage because the internet is our battlefield. this is where we fight because it’s the least we can do. (note i said armenian person, because i don’t think its fair to ask this of people who don’t have a personal stake in this war).

when we say we are being threatened by genocide, we are not exaggerating
