Description
Inspired by egrets in the creek between my place and work, a non-avian cousin enjoys foraging in a somewhat more natural environment. I had the tail in a more traditionally 'dinosaur'y curve for most of the process but actually quite like the straight (more accurate) version in the end.Related content

Super-vivid. The colours are unbelievably real.

So beautiful! I love the thought of dinosaurs with spectacular plumage like their modern descendants.

would you be up to selling this as a print? this is gorgeous!

Not sure why you're describing this as non-avian, but then those transitional forms are harder to pinpoint now we know the feathers have been there a lot longer'n we thought.
HAS the scientific community picked a dividing line yet?

The whole thing looks like a photograph until a few minutes later and rereading the description a few times.

Brilliantly done. I love your masterful use of color and contrast. I can feel the warmth of the mid-day sun, hear the surrounding insects. Kudos to your gift! Instant fav and watch.

lovely, just adore the simplicity of your brushstrokes and how traditional it looks! keep up the awsome work!

Please paint in this style more often. I'd love to see how you rendered characters using these techniques.

What dinosaur is this supposed to be exactly?

I like this a lot! I understood it instantly and it is a good composition.

I think the tail perfectly supports the composition! Also being a big fan of those areas where you can see through into the clear water!

Super beautiful! But raptor tails were more flexible than we once thought; they've been found bent in graceful s-shapes.

yeah, had to tell if it was modern or ancient dinosaur there :>Β

I've been drawing some Dino pictures, if you wish to browse.
Look under Ruschman Dinosaurs.

Yeah :> Β I love all dinosaurs and such both modern and ancient, I was going to comment that your egret or what ever looked like a ancient dinosaur when I realized it WAS one :>

Yeah, birds are dinosaurs alright.
You mean the Terror Bird? Yeah, I previously posted two pictures, one old drawing and then a newer one.

well being a science nerd I call eagles, sparrows, chickens and other birds as modern dinosaurs :>

Ditto.
I have yet to draw in more, likeΒ Deinocheirus mirificus and a cattle-like sauropod mount.
I'm really into drawing ancient creatures and spiffing them up.
BTW, how do you rate my gallery?

Pretty good, you seen that there may be evidence that Sauropods had feathers too, or least super proto feathers?
π: 0 β©: 1
Nope, but that didn't mean they didn't. I must guess they had colorful waddles, though.
I drew quills (the stems that make up the feathers) along my sauropod's back to make it look cooler.
On my portrait,Β Ruschman Dinosaurs: Butcherotitan , you can see that these sharp things are not bony spikes but rather quills. I decided that while osteoderms (which are the boney spikes) would make the Allosaur more archaic, their very geometry got me to look into other body parts . . . and quills were the solution.

well they found a really old dinoasur that would be close to the split between sauropods and therapods that appears to have proto feathers. Β So hints that maybe feathers are older then we thought and both liniedges had the potential.

what was its name? Did they say?

Not sure if it's the one but here is the links I can find on it.
