Ateo is an old plateosaurus fanchara of LBT of mine. I drew him a few times before, but his old design was a bit complicated for me to do. So today I came up with this drawing with a new, more LBT-like look for him, using the unnamed plateosaurus that appeared in the begnning of LBT 2 as reference.

Sorry about the simplistic background. Still getting the hang of using GIMP.

That's a very interesting looking character. Did it take long to make it or get the ideas?

The concept of Ateo came to me when listening to a couple of songs. I had envisioned several scenes involving the character, and eventually drew him. I forget why I chose black and white. It might have been that I like the combination of the two colors, plus I don't recall there being any black and white dinos in LBT, from memory.

Very nice^^ I love his design and the color choices. Monotones usually look best on a character^^
I also like the sneering look he's giving, he seems kinda crafty.
OMG! U use GIMP?? I do, too^^ ugh, I've been needing so much assistance with that program, how long have you had it?

Thanks!

And yep I use GIMP. I've been using it since the test version 2.7 in which the single window mode was introduced.

What kind of assistance do you need? I could do a Livestream sometime.

Well, it's mostly getting used to the programs offered. I've been struggling with bgs so I end up with my characters in a white field unless I start with the bg first, and then add the fg in afterwards.
I've got 2.6, so maybe I'm a little outdated^^

Here's the link for downloading the latest GIMP, which is 2.8.2. If you want to activate single window mode, click Window and click Single Window Mode.

Well GIMP prior to 2.7, such as 2.6, had multiple windows. Three usually. Single Window Mode puts it all in one window.

Here's what it looks like:

I customized it a little.
