Description
Everything shook when he lumbered across Iris's path. Eyeing her with contemplation, his mouth parted, showing rows of jagged teeth. Knowing how animals were always hungry, the girl looked at the fresh new peanut butter and jelly sandwich her Mom just made. She knew offering the monster just a piece of the sandwich would hardly make a difference, so Iris handed him the entire thing. With his teeny little arms, he couldn't very well hold it and eat, so she let him sniff the sandwich and then politely snatch it from her hand. She smiled seeing his apparent glee as the monster devoured the tasty sandwich, then licked his lips.
Of course, as with any stray, everywhere Iris went he tiptoed behind her trying to look smaller then he was, in hopes he might get another peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

As simple as this should have been, I rendered it four times and it stalled at 86% each time. Turning all but three lights and the shadows off, I finally got it and painted in the shadows.
Dinosaur by Dinoraul. Edited the color on the texture map

I'll bet Iris's mother had a heart attack when she brought him home and asked to keep him. On the other hand, she might have thought saying no wouldn't be such a good idea!!!! Love what you did with the Dino's texture.

Cute one!!!

Isn't that always the way?! The simple ones so often turn out to be real stinker to get to either render at all, or to look just right. Glad you prevailed - the result is fantastic.

Maybe she is secretly a magic girl and you know all magic girls have to have a magic talking animal mascot... Hehehe. I totally enjoyed this one. Very very cool image and story! ^.^
