That raptor is like,"Bro! Chill out, I'm only going to kill and eat you!"

Wow, you captured the movements of the animals really well. That's pretty much how I would have thought a velociaptor would look like, very bird-like. What colour do you think they were?

very nice ! I like it
I like the mood & the way you drew the scales on Protoceratops (also love your Triceratops and Minmi)
All the best,

You have sure made the protoceratops a nasty looking little beggar. I can see how it could be bittey enough to munch up a velociraptor. Most of the reconstruction of protoceratops that I have seen seem to make them seem small and sluggish and not particularly exciting. Hats off to you!

This one is really cool. I love the detail.
If you don't mind me asking, what kind of pencil and what size paper was the original done?
thanks

I don't remember the exact pencils I was using, but they were probably 3B, maybe 4B -- the paper was A2.

How Bakkerian, John! I wonder, do you interpret the velocis as being defensive, or aggressive in this scene?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It is rather bakkerian, now I look at. At the time I drew it I suppose I would have thought Veliciraptor the aggresor, now I'm not so sure.

"It is rather bakkerian, now I look at."
That's why it's still my favorite piece by you (although I had forgotten it was yours until recently). It's a simple background w/very detailed & dynamic dinos.

I know that exaggerating predatory dinosaurs and making them into JP-style movie monsters is inaccurate, but didn't velociraptor at least have larger killing claws?
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
yes they did. the only reason for the supersize is steven spielberd thought it was too small to scare anyone, so he supersized it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
No, I think they're about right. Deinonychus had larger claws.
