Image type and characters - Type A digital black and white drawing, opaque greyscale of a dino with a nice lump going down the neck.

Why this image was chosen - Severus Blackpaw is another artist I have been keeping an eye on for a while and this picture demonstrates one of the reasons why. Here we have a charming minimalist image of a dino who has swallowed something, ( or somethings ) whole and the lump/s in her neck are very attractive, (for this group's purposes lets just say that the victim/s were eaten feet first since you can't really tell in the shapes you see here. ) I love the way that Severus has added extra lines down the sides and front of the long neck as if to imply wrinkles caused by the bulk of the prey inside. I really like the way the mouth has been drawn, teeth gritted, showing as if she's having a hard time downing the bulky creatures squirming inside her throat. However, maybe she's just holding them in there as the artist pondered to someone who commented on this picture ". . .she is able to hold food in her throat /gullet like a bird does. " The way the body is shown looking like it's leaning forward, the position of the forelimbs and larger hind legs makes this picture look quite tantalizing.

Good work on this one Severus even if it was a quickie that you weren't totally happy with I certainly like it.
