So far not so good I guess. I wouldn’t worry though because Kyra loves to make all sorts of friends. I’m sure she can work something out. Unless she’s in a bad mood that is. Oh, is she? Well never mind then, we’ll just have to hope they’re understanding cows.
I try to spend some spare time trying to improve designs and characters and draw things. One of the two major aspects of Kyra I’ve been working on recently is Kyra’s toothy grin (or frown with how everything’s been going) That dinosaur shaped face is odd but the practice has really pulled through the past few pages. Here’s another one I made. They say sometimes you just got to grin a bear it, but they probably didn’t have murderous teeth in mind.

Well, she wanted them to say something new
The smile looks great, but if you’re still having trouble, one thing that’s helped me when drawing carnivorous characters is to draw the canines. Everything else sort of falls into place after that
Dinosaurs don’t have canines, though. In fact, I could be wrong about this, but I think canines are exclusive to mammals.
Generally speaking, carnivore dinosaur species only have two types of teeth. The teeth at the front of the mouth are more conical shaped and are designed for pulling the flesh off of their prey, while the teeth further back in the mouth are more blade-like to help cut the meat down to size before they swallow.
Teeth are fine, it’s the weird long shape the mouth can be in. It’s more like a dragon than a dinosaur, or if the Trex’s snout kept moving down so it had more forward vision. I found help in an unexpected place though because people love drawing sharks with sharp teeth and they have long round noses too. I’m sure Kyra would be excited to learn animals like that are helping her design.
This might seem weird, but sometimes my favorite drawings you make are the teeny-tiny ones, like Kyra and those cows in panel 7.
She would make a good icon image that one
I agree!
Perhaps because the tiny drawings are silly while I tend to try too hard to make everything else look “good.” Hopefully something odd happens to get a classic Paul face.
One way or another, the cows WILL answer our questions.
Perhaps those cows need to sharpen their instincts a bit, so an apex predator isn’t within striking distance before they even notice it.
“Cows are smarter than people give them credit for”
I once saw a cow literally run in front of a moving truck and proceed to just stand there
This was not a slow moving truck (the cow was not hurt too badly, the truck managed to slow down so that the impact was at a very slow speed, would have probably hurt a person, but the cow was big enough to shrug it off)
I mean, I know one cow being dumb is not a fair representation of the entire species, but it certainly doesn’t help their image
You never know, it may not have been dumb at all.
That person in the truck owed them money. The cow was just letting them off with a warning.
Kyra booty in panel 6 as she ponders how to go from nonhuman-speak to human-speak.
And what a cute grin she has in the description!
Careful, that’s how you get your head cracked open by a tail XD
But how could you stay mad at a smile like that?
Oh my goodness that Kyra smile. I would trust this little angel with my credit card information.
Don’t let her know that, though I guess it would be better than USING the smile on your skull.
