I had 2 versions before this, and it started flopped in the other direction. The gist of the piece is there. I have quite a few of these at this stage (and that's where they will stay). I usually stop at this point. For some reason I felt like I needed more from this image, to make it richer or more complete to me.
I added some atmosphere and foreground elements. This is where I got into trouble. Now I felt like I needed to clean up a mess that I made. I started trying to fix my mistakes in the "sketch". (the compy's looked like velociraptors and the diplodocus looked like a weird 3 legged beast) but I still thought I was doing a sketch(now 3 hours in).
Here's the semi final version.
So I think it must have been when I exported the image from Photoshop to Painter to use the Glow Brush. Yeah that was when I realized this was more than just a sketch. Still less than a "real" piece but much more than a sketch. It's important to go with the flow since you never know when the flow will come. Not my favorite piece but , there you go.
Based off of the response from this piece I am "finishing" it off and may present it in some final form later.

Gorgeous piece! I like this one a lot! You followed your inspiration and it seems to have all pulled together for you in a very short time. It's a complete thought, loud and clear. A "real" painting in my book!

Good Lord, Brian! Nice, nice, nice.

How this piece comes together is amazing and the end result kicks so much ass. I want to touch that sun-lit spot.
That's really amazing. I can't get over it.
AAAGH! Holy Moly! Thanks guys. If anyone writes in it's usually just my friends, which i really appreciate, or my mom. When I get people who I never met to write in it's always a surprise, when I look up to those people and their amazing talent, I get nervous.
Sparth-thank you for your kind words. You remain an inspiration to me
Bill Pressing-Great Job on the Belle de Jour! You know if Rex ends up in the Lost world that could be pretty cool,...hmmmm.
