Description Chief Click-Gurgle-(throat feathers extended)-Click, General of the Tapir Clan, surveys the battlefield from a fallen tree. His rank is obvious from the bold signifiers of status he wears - the nimravid-skin cape, elaborately decorated war-beak and severed-head banner mark him as an elite.

(drawing dinosaurs is funner when you describe them like people from an osprey military uniforms book...)

The detail in his name's "pronounciation" (that's not the most fitting word, I know) about extending throat feathers opens up a whole new world of brilliant. This ought to be a fully illustrated "alternative natural history" (or anthropology) book.

Yeah - as previously said, I've been very inspired by corvid communication and intelligence for this- perhaps dominant members of a tribe might have elements of their ancestral dominance display assimilated as cues in more complex communication.

Awesome design! I love his costume. It makes him a unique character, rather than just another dinosaur who we are told is intelligent. I like his name, too!
I haven't had much of a chance to look through your gallery and read the descriptions of these pieces, but your dinosauroid world seems very interesting.

Thanks, man. Trying to figure out how a non-human civilization would develop technology/culture is a challenge I'm really enjoying.
