Behind the art
Inspiration
This illustration bridges different prehistoric eras in a whimsical way, imagining what it would be like if hippos could interact with dinosaurs. It plays with the idea of Stone Age fashion being applied to animals, creating a charming anachronism that sparks imagination while celebrating the playful side of prehistoric life.
Artist notes
When designing this scene, I wanted to create a joyful friendship between two creatures that never actually met in real history. The hippo's Stone Age outfit includes decorative elements inspired by actual prehistoric artifacts, while the dinosaur is designed to look friendly and approachable rather than fearsome. The bold outlines make this suitable for colorists of all skill levels while still offering plenty of detail for those who want to add depth and texture.
