I finally after God knows how long decided to make SFM renders again wowie

OK so uh I think like sometime ago I actually had to uninstall SFM due to the fact that it was taking up way too much space on my computer since I did download a lot of games recently, however I managed to re-install it like 2 days ago by putting it in a folder that is a lot larger and thankfully a lot of the assets I had got saved since I was still subscribed to them on the Steam Workshop. And since I did move SFM into a larger folder I didn't really have to worry as much about it taking too much space so I went and downloaded some new models, mostly related to Metal Gear Rising, since as you all know by now that's my most recent hyperfixation.

I sometimes tend to just make sessions where I just compare models and stuff, and I wanted to compare the sizes of some of the JWE dinosaur models I had and I thought I'd use a human model to help me with scaling so I just loaded in Raiden real quick since he was the first human character I could think of. I also had the Indoraptor model loaded in that session, and Raiden just so happened to spawn near him, and that's when my brain just stopped for a second and went "Holy shit I suddenly have a dope ass render idea" and so I dumped all the other dinosaur models I had loaded in the session and just made a whole ass render of Raiden riding the Indoraptor. Why? Because I thought it was a really cool and raw idea and honestly what else do you expect a neurodivergent teenager with multiple hyperfixations to do if you were to give them SFM?

Also while making this render I kinda just realized just how much Raiden and the Indoraptor have in common. Raiden has the nickname "Jack the Ripper", meanwhile the Indoraptor was nicknamed "Ripper" by the fandom, both of them have color schemes that mostly consist of black with golden details (and also red eyes, tho only if you count Raiden's Ripper form since he normally has blue eyes), and both have rather similar backstories (Raiden being a former child soldier, being treated as a tool for the majority of his life, rather than being treated as an actual human being, and the Indoraptor being created to be a killing machine, being treated more as a monster than an actual animal), and obviously both being really violent, cunning and stealthy. With all of this in mind I kinda just got more and more motivated to work on this and I came to a weird conclusion that maybe under certain circumstances these two would somehow be able to get along, tho that's moreso the result of my wild imagination.

It's been a while since I used SFM so this isn't the best render out there. I still suck ass at lighting, and also I'm still not that used with posing human and dinosaur models, especially when it comes to facial expressions (the main reason why I put on Raiden's visor was because I felt like it worked with the atmosphere and was also because not only did I have no ideas as for what expression he'd have but also because I was too lazy to pose his facial expressions). But I still remember a lot about SFM, so if I keep on practicing I'll eventually be able to make better renders.

I also made a doodle related to this render, which I will be posting along with this render
