    Default Looking for some Dinosaur Inspiration :)

    Hello, this is my first post here. So I hope this is in the right place. Anyway, I'm an illustration student looking for some dinosaur comic art to create a tee shirt design. I'm thinking of a retro look. Could you all please post links to some awesome dino comics that could help me get the style I'm looking for? Thinking lots of ink and bold lines. Thanks everyone,
    I think I'm going to enjoy being here.

    Also, if I want to post my progress for everyone to see, should I post it in the art forums instead of here?
    Thanks again. :)

    Bold lines? Can't imagine anything better than Devil Dinosaur.

    Check out the episodes of Darwyn Coooke's "New Frontier" that take place on Dinosaur Island. Cooke's uber bold and cartoony style has the sort of striking and dynamic look that might be perfect for a t-shirt.

    First thing that comes to mind would be Xenozoic Tales, aka Cadillacs and Dinosaurs.



    There is an absolutely beautiful softcover book of the entire series which I highly recommend. There is some great dinosaur art to behold in this book:
