Awww, love it! +fave

Well, thank you very much ^_^

No, thank YOU. I for a long time searched the sample for drawing raptors:) Earlier I drew them not so good.
All I have one claim. He looks too shining.

Nice use of perspective! Cool character ^__^

Thanks hun, I think the surrounding took the longest for me to work on XD

I was going to say, that background is really neat! Love the use of focal blur...

Thanks dear, I really like using depth of field ^_^

Woo... thats one hawt raptor.

Incredible coloring! <3

Thank you ^_^

Wow, well dun Ultra ^_^;

^_^ Thank you so much.

*creeps up and chibily clings to your ankle* XD

dawww, so cute ^_^

*nibbles on softly in a playful and bored manner* ^_^;

*picks you up and hugs you for being so adorable!*

*Meeps and chitters whilst wagging his lil tail like fury and lapping atcha face* Mwwweeeepppp !

Wow, I love the scenery and activity going on in this pic, very nice!! :)

Thanks so much, the scenery was a struggle but I guess it was worth it ^_^

mm, sexy, nice ways with the green :3

-Z

Hey! Thank you :D

I'd like to meet him at the beach ^.=.^

:D

Holy gawd . . . I wanna book a trip to this awesome place . . . and of course meet this cutie ;)

:D

Hawt!! bod! I especially love your coloring, shading, and highlights; his scales' glow is very similar to that of my ball pythons (good friends for 30 years). Outstanding!

I love bodies like that on guys, toned but not over done ^_^ and its even more fun with reptile character which i can emphasize it with shiney scales :D

Very Hot +favs

Thank you :)

You're such good with raptor... Mrrr... };D

I LOOOOOOOVE raptors. <3

And ya know I still havnt finished theat one i mentioned ages go. Its just so hawt and im aftraid ill ruin it if i continue o-o

Just finish it from a print of it, so if anything bad happen (which I doubt), you still haven't messed with the original ! };)

oooh. I like it very very much. Great detail in it. Very sexy.

Thank you Phiner ^_^

Wow, very lifelike! Another must fave! =o

AW! Thanks!

The background is very well made! O.o
Nice work!

Thanks its a mix of many different techniques and splicings! XD

*Grins* Sexy. I love the open shirt, so beefy... I just want to rub his belly and chest. :P

Also, love the shirt! :P

He -does- look very.... touchable, dont he? ;)

He's really sexy.

And wow... the slice-of-life background is amazing. I really like stuff where it's not just a character floating in a void. This really pulls you into the scene.

I'd love to see the next scene where he picks someone up... ;)

Ya, so many times i get scxared and avoid scenes with people and things going on in the background, but i think im getting a bit more confident ^_^

WOOT she did a raptor NICE work UV

Oh believe me, there will be more ;)

SWEET!!!!

Reminds me of wookiee's sun tanned raptor series XP I love that relaxed pose...looks so natural.

Oh, i think I remeber those pieces, i take that as a compliment, thank you ^_^

wow thats extremely well done, did u do the bg from scratch?

I'll tell you what I told a friend of mine ^_^

The bar and hut were painted. The forms I wanted were created and the basic colors, shadows and highlights were painted on and then I took photo elements together on top of that, The hardest one was the wood on the bar, trying to line up each beam so the perspective looked relatively ok.

The beach itself was referenced, but painted, could never get the water effect i wanted though :P

very well done. The background reminds me of something Dr. Comet would do, very stylistic.
~Kai

Oh thank you very muc I enjoy Dr Comnets stuff ^_^ So thats a very nice compliment

how do you colour liek that?
mrrrf must eat your brain >8)
or something

*cuts brain into slices and offers you a piece* ^_^

it tastes like candy

Dam that pic makes me want to go to the beach (wishes it wasn't freezing outside). That backround looks awesome, I thought it was a photo you blurred and cropped in the picture when I first looked at it. Nice raptor also, I love the shine he has.

Thank you very much, I use a mixture of digital painting and texturing.

And I love painting shiny reptiles ;)

Ooh awsome bar/beach scene, their really awsome*snicker* makes me think of the beach we used to have around here(Katrina mauled it, but I think they rebuilt most things)

Oh? where is it abouts that you live?

I live in Denham springs, only an hour or more from New Orleans, which is where the beach was around.

Eep, hope you got through that whole mess ok 0-0

*snicker* we did, thank ye, was scareh though << First big Hurricane since Andrew.

i can so hear the beach boys cocomo right there

damn right XD

Needs surfing tho! XD

so true on that cyberhorn

Love that shirt!

Thanks. It was atually really fun making up the pater and doing the displacement ^_^

You always do a good job with focusing and making the bgs blurry :3

Yeah i really like using that for depth of field ^_^

"Beach Bar Raptor" would be more appropriate.

.. but I wouldn't cal it a beach if there are no beach toys on it. :X

:P

Yeah it probably would, I really do fail at tiles for my art XD

Ricardo...for some reason I thought his name was that.

XD

*whistles* nice and sexy job on this picture, the beach bar is well done or is it done with a photo, either way it still impressive.

Its painted, using some photo texturing ^_^

ineedy ^_^

You really impress me with your versatility. Nice!

Aw *blush* thank you!

I especially like the smile. I bet he is a good kisser! Mrower!

Oooh... just below average I think... I tend to be slurping with my raptor-tongue too much during my kisses... *whistles and winks* ^^;

^_^

I wish there was a beach bar like that around here. That would kick ass!

Same here, but I think London distinctly lacks beaches XD

Ouch... But you have pubs so that makes up for it =3

o..o


...
...
...

this picture is just...UNF!

:D

I know... I already told you a couple of times, how much I love this picture, but I'll tell you one more time... ;)

There isn't anything on this picture, that I don't like. The pose, the face, the whole setting, my clothes (yay for hawaiian shirts ^^)

As soon as it gets here, it will land in a frame on a wall, I tell ya ^^

Best thing in the world for me is to have a commissioner be so safied with the finished piece *joy*

Thank you so much for commissioning me hun ^_^

:D I love the grin.. and omg do I see a hyena tending the bar?

Did you draw the background?, everything ties in perfectly together. I love how much detail there is.

Is a mixture of painitng texturing with some photo manips on thar part/hut.

And yes the bar tender is a spotted hyena :D

Gah this is so gorgeous! The raptor himself looks wonderful, I just love his pose and his cute shirt, and that martini is great. And I like the hyena bar tender! And is that a siamese cat playing with a dog in the background? That's so cute! The perspective here is awesome too, the whole background is so nicely put together. :3

*giggles* thank you very much :)

Soo awesome. Love that grin!

:)

Very nice one, great look and pose, and at the beach to^^

Well thank you very much ^_^

Your an Art Genius! o.o

W0w... *blush* thank you.

Hansome indeed!

this rocks hard, and rules at the same time. All while being spiffy! I really like how you did the beach XD

Thanks :D

...Is he what you'd call a "lounge lizard" ?

:P

Nice arts there Ms.Ultra ;)

hahaha! You know the entire time I was working on this, i couldnt get that term out of mind ;D

I can't help but be reminded of my ex! o..o

Was his character a green raptor-type? '.'

And hey didnt realize you were on FA ^_^

Actually he's a black raptor (Spiritraptor/Blade) It's just the kinda camp/faggy raptorboi sipping Martini that reminds me of him :)

Ahh! I see XD

Oh and I've been on FA for a while now; I just haven't uploaded much since I haven't had much to show off!

Well, i've watched you now ^_^ So expect a polite comment there every now and again.

Goodness knows, I actually talk and have conversations online, lol. Instead of standing about too shy to say much to anyone XD

Woothoo! :D
Isn't it amazing? It's almost like having a social life! Hell knows I forgot what that term meant yonks ago!

Almost! XD Hell I am sure I had this thing you call a 'social life' at one point too XD

Ah well cheers to living on the internet! ;D

I love the work with perspective. It doesn't crowd the piece, it's not too busy.. it's tranquil and good and you've done very well to get it right!

Thank you so much glad you appreciate those aspects of it ^_^

he is awsome and the work is just great, well done indeed.

Whoa! Now this is almost scary. I commissioned one other artist last summer to make my character in almost same kind of situation and the clothing is quite close too o_o (though my character only drinks cola :P)

The pic itself is really... tasty *ahem* Your way of drawing raptors and dragons just rawks this snakey's sawks(?) I should probably commission you some time...

snakes can wear socks? XD

I wish you could see this at a real beach. My life'd be complete. T.T

Cool artwork here. Now nobody would ever say that raptor`s aren`t handsome, hmmm?:D

Wow, he's nice looking

Thanks :)

Yay for beach raptors!^^ But I love the background, it looks nice, and the raptor looks sexy>><<:glomps him:

^_^

OMG...sunshine........in a UV pic? O_O I'm melting I'm melting!!!!

Seriously, nice job.

must.... touch .... that bulge..... >.Y.> *pokes*

oooh my favourite rappy :D .. nicely done

Thank you very much :)

Omg its Zed, the new Dark Lord!
Must be on vacation of his "Worldlconquer Plan" =o

really nice art =)

Zeddy look so sexy! Flawless work

After he finishes that drink, I'll certainly buy him another... <3

well there you have it! A beach raptor!

XD :P

The background and texture effects are perfectly implemented, and personally, I like the shiny scales. It draws your attention into the picture -- extremely nice.

There is a swell job well done! I like the texturing here.
Another awesome pic as ever!

WOW!
