Description
RhoakAtrisaurus suchusurus corax gryphis (latin) = black lizard, crocodile tail, raven, griffin
I tried to go for the scientific document sort of look. The quality of the pencil drawing itself probably isn't that great >_>
I was inspired to draw this after seeing many awesome dinosaurs. I've had a really dinosaur like past few days:
+randomly watched 'Walking with dinosaurs'
+somehow decided to look up dinosaur bone structures
+When at school my friend presented me with a plushie dipolodocus toy for christmas!
(btw, I'm not as smart as displaying all those bone names might suggest. I did look most of them up! )
Bah! I missed out the Scalpel bone >/ I can't draw it in now!
Oh yeah! This would be the same bone structure for Solait's beast form, seeing as she turns into a Rhoak

Awesome work, but two things bug me:
1. The ribs are rather thin for a flying, birdlike creature, especially of this size, since they will have to withstand the strain of the wing musculature, which seems to have the arm skeleton in itΒ΄s way.
2. What`s the hole in the braincase for?

hmm, well I was looking at the rib cages of large carnivorous dinosaurs, but I also looked at birds, I didn't think they were that thin.
I didn't take into account the whole wing muscle problem, I assumed one muscle would be going over the shoulders and out of the way of the shoulder bone, whilst the muscle behind the humerus would be, I suppose, where the missing scalpel is. But I haven't studied the muscular structure of birds wings, so I'm probably entierly wrong. I had the idea that the wing muscles would be horizontally on the thoratic vertebrae... but then strength in beating the wings up and down would be lost? hmm
And the hole in the braincase was again from looking at large carnivorous dinosaurs. I put it a bit far back, it was an ear hole, I added it seeing as it has rabbit like ears. But now looking at a rabbit skull, they don't have it either >_>,

That opening in the skull of dinosaurs doesn't lead to the brain, which is actually located in the "upper ridge" of the opening. Birds have much larger brains, so the braincase makes up most of the skull behind the eyes, I'm not sure about their postorbital fenestrae. The ear openings should be located somewhere at the lower hind edge of the skull and are much smaller.

yeah, I realised about the ear openings when I looked back at the raven skull I used for a referance, and then to the rabbits

... you sir, are a godsend. i've been looking for something like this for a long time. close enough to a dragon for my purposes, so thank you.

xD and thankyou very much for calling me "sir" I appreciate it

Walking with dinosaur!! I think I still have the CDs
Anyway seriously, I'm speechless now o-o And this proves that you are a biology student
π: 0 β©: 1
I am yes xD I love biology. We haven't studied bones though, you can do this yourself by looking at dinosaur bones and diagrams :B
π: 0 β©: 1
xD True. Anyway, the bones are quite confusing to me, plus their names are long O__o It was a bit hard for me to remember the names when I was still studying biology

I've never seen an anatomical griffin before
Great job!! ^^
