The ABCs (animals, beasties and critters)

[Vermis]

Hullo! Another refugee from Deviantart. I'm interested in palaeoart (i.e. prehistoric art) and other animal and fantasy art. I hesitate to start using DA less, because there's a little island of talented palaeoartists among all the other stuff; but they seem to be as forthcoming with constructive criticism as the rest of the site. I'm not sure how many here have experience with this kind of thing, but it can't be any worse than the other place.

So, before I start raiding my DA account for the better sketches, two little disclaimers: I don't use references as much as I should, and I need to work on my backgrounds. A lot. With that in mind, crit away!

EDIT: first uploads shunted down the topic.

EDIT 2: renamed The ABCs. Not only a bad pun on my zoological and fantastic interests, but an admission that from page five, I probably should knuckle down to some proper fundamentals.
