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!

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

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.

If I add something of yours to my favorites but don't comment, all it means is that I've got nothing to say, but want to show my appreciation for something good. I know you want good, honest critique - so do I - but I think silence is better than spam.

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.

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

You're gonna disagree on a lot of what actually makes up these "raptors". Those VRs from Jurassic Park are non-existent, period. In fact, they were modeled from the larger Deinonchyus!

yeah, i know that. However, i also disagree on how some say they are the ancestors to the birds. I am a big dinobuff and i do not believe the scientific consensus is right this time , as i am not an evolutionist

I love the fact that there are actually people who appreciate the real fossilized skeletons of them more than the Jurassic Park concept drawings, which were fictional movie monsters. I thought the skulls looked much cooler than the ones in the movie.
