again, three drawings coming up, similar ideas...

it's not a great drawing, but I find it very pleasing...

now the feet get a little chunky...

the next few MACRODONS are loosely based off of the same shape/idea: chunky hands, rectangular, oafish body...

although this MACRODON resembles a dinosaur in a way, I imagine it less organic or biological looking, although it may not appear so in this drawing, it is symetrical in a conical fashion, it's neck/head perfectly centered on it's stump of body.
