Description An assignment for an art class I took over the summer; it's finally in a state that I can share it!

Anyway, the scene and quote are from a lovely book by famed paleontologist Robert Bakker, but with an updated look-- both dinosaur species have an appropriate coat of feathers. We were also supposed to format it as though it were going into a children's book, so... yeah.

Hehe, thank you! It was one of my favorites, and still probably the best dino-centric novel I've ever read. ^^

Updated scenes from Raptor Red, yes! I'd love to see more of these, but only if you're so inclined, of course. Years ago I actually drew a comic of the entire plot of Raptor Red in one of my sketchbooks, with updated designs including feathers and everything, but as I had not yet started looking at anatomy properly it kind of sucked.

Ahrkeath In reply to Albertonykus [2012-10-18 03:50:55 +0000 UTC]

Haha, I think if I ever did more they'd be on a much smaller scale; this one was enough trouble on it's own. I also can't wait for Scott Hartman's revised Utahraptor skeletal-- the one he had was good, but I guess there's more going on this animal than initially thought. ^^

Regardless, I'm glad you liked it!

Albertonykus In reply to Ahrkeath [2012-10-18 03:54:29 +0000 UTC]

Oh yes, there's that little snag for anyone who wants to restore Utahraptor these days. All we can do is wait for the paper(s) as usual.

Yep... I think it will be quite the interesting read though! ^^

Hehe, thank you! Surprisingly they're one of the easier parts to render.
