Description How could you not what to go to war with an Ankylosaurus?

After doing some research on this particular dinosaur, I found one children's website that described the Ankylosaurus as an old cranky general of the Civil War. I kid you not. So after that, I just had an image in my mind of an old wrinkly Ankylosaur complaining about how hot it was.
Anyway, I wanted the woman, my character Evaline, to contrast the tank standing behind her. Her long dress, curved top, and sleek hair are meant to create the illusion that she is taller. The armor too is meant to look a bit more civilized with a touch of old war class with the spikes. Also, what she is holding was meant to be a club, but a skull would be absolutely pointless as a weapon. Maybe it's a staff to guide the troops.

I love this. I love how Evaline looks worried or anxious but at the same time has this statuesque semi imposing armour. It's a masquerade and wonderfully done, and in regards to the beautifully shaded dinosaur, i think that Old General is the perfect name for him. It has the impression of reminiscent war and experience. Great piece.

This is very cool. Your character looks like she has a strong personality. Only thing I would change: I would outline the dinosaur like the girl. He's in front of her, yet his shading is like he's behind.

Wow... you've shown a great sence of space.
Some areas are blury, and acutally look out of focus (I'm assuming you did that on purpose). Great job.

Reminds me of The Courship of Princess Leia - I think of the witches of Dathomir, who had tamed Rancor-beasts to ride. They dressed somewhat like that, and the presence of a large, scaly creature enhances the effect.

I love the armour detail and how it's more sharply defined than the general's own natural defence offered by his skin. Her pose is wonderful too and it's almost like she's contemplating her next move. A great drawing.
