Dragon Feathers - Velociraptorby ~kyoht

Traditional Art / Paintings / Animals

9x12 acrylic painting of Velociraptor mongoliensis. Last painting I could squeeze in before all hell breaks loose this coming week (I'm gonna be busy, busy, busy). I'll be back in October!

I always wonder... If Dinosaurs had Feathers... Did they take Dust Baths? If so, what would a 7 ton Tyrannosaurus look like trying to fluff itself in a dust bowl? XD
Love your Dinos so hard core <3

well done..

One thing.....It couldn't of had a bill or wings. It was still a dinosaur.

Sory man, but I think Microraptor would disagree with that sentiment: [link] [link]

It did had feathers on the arms as evidence shows us. Also note that these are the closest relatives of the linage that led to birds, and evolved from volant ancestors, so logically they had wing feathers.

Still agree on the beak though

Good job making this as accurate as possible - a lot of people try to draw V. mongoliensis, and end up with D. antirrhopus, the raptor from Jurassic Park. They don't make the top of the upper jaw low enough, they make it too large, ugh... it's a nightmare.

This, however, is quite well done, and an accurate (to my knowledge) representation of a great (if small) predator. Good job.

Btw, your pic is featured in an About.com article - [link]

I think that dromaeosaurs may have had feathers, but I doubt that they were to this extent. Feathery down may be more accurate. Beautifull work though.

Good job, though i disagree on the feathers.

It is irrelevant whereas you disagree, because it has been scientifically proven quite some time now.
