Description
Like Archaeopteryx, Confuciusornis has large hands and claws, but better wing. This one was done more of a "woodpecker"-like posture, and most of the work was in rendering the bark of the tree, which is a generic tree.Related content

I believe that the line is too long and the plumage of the very little head..... leave the influence of Gregory's illustration Paul.

Which line? Do you think this is too much like Paul? My pen style, stipple style, and graphite style are all different, do not know why. This style was done originally for illustrations, and I had to "simplify" the model a little for the product that will be published, so the detail was ... casual here.

The likeness is not really in the style, if on the poses her and the result. In the last book of Paul (Dinosaurs of the Air, 2002), appears one illustration of Confuciusornis exactly in the same poses, with a very similar plumage, and in a very similar tree. It is clear that the style is different, but the result is very similar.

Wow, I just realized that. Looking at the pic, I can see this. it was probably an unconcious imitation. Ugh. May need to remove the picture.... I hate copying....

I now speak for all your new illustrations; it`s nice to see some variation in the style. You seem to be using ink just as well as pencil

Yeah, but unlike a woodpecker it couldn't likely stand on its tail feathers then.
