I like the outlines. Gives the characters depth. Either you go with outlines, or don't, IMHO. 
That's the left side of the corner mostly finished, maybe give it a polish pass when the opposite side is done.
OK I'm going to call this done now. I've been picking away at it all week and if I mess with it any more I'll probably ruin it . I'll add a protective clear-coat, probably over the weekend.

What a beauty! Your style and the vibrant colours bring all the characters to live. They look even better than in the show!
fanastic it looks realy great
Thanks guys that's really nice of you.
I'm done with murals for the foreseeable futureLet's just hope he does not want that wall updated depending on what animated Movie comes out there in the future
Which room is next ?
. I fancy doing some 3D again, vaguely remember planning a Ceratosaurus model before I broke off to paint cartoon pups. Might try to get my head back into that.
Couple more views of the mural
I'm not starting any serious art projects for a while as my landlord is renovating my accommodation. I'll be able to use my laptop when I'm round my daughter's place so I'll occasionally post some old stuff over the next few weeks.
Might as well start with this, it must have been the first dinosaur skeleton I ever attempted in Blender.
I'm guessing I made this around 2011/12 with the Blender 2.5/2.6 series, It's heavily influenced by paleo-art skeletal drawings which is something I wouldn't do now as I prefer to reference academic published material, anyway my knowledge of dino bone structure has improved a lot since I did this. Also it's very out of date as new specimens show that Steggy had a longer neck, shorter body and lower posture without such a pronounced curve in the spine.

I noticed that right away. Let's say, this is a lady gracefully striding along the red carpet. She's definitely wearing high-heels.

Thanks, Stegosaurs really did have high heels! Like all dinos they walked tippytoes (digitigrade) and in quadrupeds the heel is a fleshy pad behind the hind feet toes.
My computer access is limited at the moment but here's some cartoony stuff I did years ago using Procreate on an Ipad 2. Those dumb capacitive styluses were tricky for getting good lines but Procreate had this trick where you could use drawing speed to emulate line thickness.
