Great looking rap! :)

Wow! Beautiful job!

Welp i know who im going to get a raptor done for my sona

Raptor-fy commissions...that sounds good °o°

ill keep in mind. a little tapped know but not next month i want be.

i´d take one for sure xD

Clever boy...

I've always loved JP style raptors and their 6 foot size and lil feather manes despite the inacuracies of such a depiction. (real ones had feathers everywhere and were the size of a dog) I just love the style. Like they be lil punk rockers!~ Gorgeous art as always miss.~ ^v^

Though don't forget the Utahraptor, it is pretty close to the size of the Jurassic Park raptors.

Ah yes, but that was not a velociraptor and is in fact it's own distinct genus. The ones in the films are called velociraptors by name and those never got bigger than a dog and also weren't as inteligent as their larger raptor cousins. The ones in the films were really just deinonychus' by a different name. Not just based on the size but the skull shape as well. The film makers even admit modeling their raptors in size and shape after deinonychus. The lack of feathers of course is explicable due to the film's age and the fact aviosaurs as a scientific reality (I don't think) really caught on yet. Hence why they added some slight plumage in JP III. As far as I know, they stuck with the name velociraptor because it sounds cooler and is easier to pronounce than deinonychus . Any way, all my nerdy rambling aside, I LOVE their design as previously stated and this art is ALL kinds of badass!~ Cheers fellow dino lover!~ ^v^

Well. yeah :) This stuff always pestered me as a kid XD It's not like "Deinonychus" is SO hard to pronounce XDD

I know right? XD

They're velociraptor in the films because they were velociraptors in the books.

They were velociraptor in the books because Crichton always wanted to be on the bleeding edge of science, and when he was writing JP there was a small movement to rename Deinonychus Antirrhopus to Velociraptor Antirrhopus, making them a different breed but the same species as velociraptor.

This was shot down pretty quickly in the paleontological world, but it's caused a lot of confusion ever since among the masses.

Utahraptor was way bigger than the raptors in the movie, I'm really not sure why Deinonychus isn't pointed to more frequently.

Thanks for that info!~ Had no idea that was why he chose the name. Also yeah, not sure why no one mentions deinons by name. :(

Why did I suddenly hear that infamous "You have been spotted!" sound from Metal Gear Solid ?

I hear that EVERY time someone uses exclamations points to show someone's startled.

OMG I was thinking of that sound when I drew it XDD I love that sound. Except ingame..then it sucks XD

Oh good. I was going to make a comment saying that's the noise I heard in my head... lol But I'm glad I'm not alone.
Like the other commenter said... I too hear it pretty much every time someone uses exclamation points to denote surprise.

I'm glad that so many people appreciate good old games :)

My other gues would have been, that he is a Pokemon Trainer and just spotted some random person crossing his line of sight :P

And then he marches up and goes "LET'S POKEMON BATTLE." ;D
But, yeah. Despite never getting the chance to play the original game, I do adore me some MGS.

Yup, I had the exact same thought. Although, that raptor's response from being alerted would certainly be quite different than an enemy's response in those games!

this looks awesome :D

I LOVE the way you draw dinosaurs <3

Ahastar is a person? :)

Looks awesome!

Thanks :D Totally into raptors now!
But making them anthro is...hard men XDD

*rolls up and covers his face in shame*
I'm sorry!

The way you draw dinosaurs <3 The best!

That's my fetish ._.

Vielen lieben Dank, Ro, ich hab mich tierisch über dieses tolle Geschenk gefreut! :D
Ich wünsche dir das Allerbeste im neuen Jahr, und davon richtig viel!

Fühl dich geknufft ^___^

cool :o I love this shocked face, but Im afraid if this dinosaur will be still alive after few minutes xd

Wonderful work!

Thank you my dear :D

Why thanks ^^=

God fuck yes I wish more people knew how to draw reptiles like this.

I have to admit it's really hard to get them right. I just spend a lot of time correcting my sketches...

I have no doubt... As a character that's meant to have a more reptillian/wedge like head shape it's grating when people keep drawing me with a roundish "standard anthro" head

Yeah. I feel your pain :/ The face-shapes are so important on reptiles~ It makes them beautiful ^__^

Very much so! Unfortunately it's so rampant and easy to get away with because so many reptile characters have hair and you can circumvent the anatomy with it.

gosh I know, and there's so many artists that don't even try resulting in weirdly camel faced reptiles and dinosaurs... it's just... uncanny x_x

Great Picture :D
Love that Dinos face x3

A big paw? How small is that Raptor? ^^ Ovi can try but it would look stupid XD

Ich glaub er ist relativ normal groß. JP größe halt XD
But it's like they say: "there is always a bigger fish"

ja stimmt. da ist immer nen größerer fisch XD
hm naja Ovi kann sich mit dem runden bauch drauf legen XD. das bringt zwar niemanden um, aber naja XD

Wooooaaah!!!!

I can really hear the MetalGear Sound in this picture.

You draw feral raptors so cool!

Boah... Ahas ist ja extrem cool geworden!

Hast ihn richtig gut getroffen in dem seltenen Zustand, wo er noch ganz ist.... ^^;

Love those teeth!

!!

Dat raptor smile <3

Deine Reptilien sehen immer so geil aus :3

WAY cute, I love how you draw dinosaurs :)
