Description
A micro-raptor and a scorpion find themselves at an impasse on a tree limb. The two appear to be thumb wrestling. Who will win? Who will get eaten? The dinosaur is a unknown species, perhaps a species of Microraptor or Sinornithosaurus. The scorpion is a venomous buthid that can climb small shrubs and trees. It must be thinking “ I can’t let you do that, Dave!”. A fun project, using a photograph of a small creek running through my property and a limb from a crape myrtle tree near my neighbors’ home. I used a crinkled paper bag and torn pieces of paper to get some reference for the flaking bark. It took longer to draw the branch than the dino and scorpion. I liked the effect of the loose lines. The original pencil drawing is placed in scraps. SilentRavyn’s “Microraptor” was the inspiration for my little dino.

Thanks and hope ya’ll enjoy,

Blair
