One of two $40 "dinosaur" commissions that I offered. This one was for RestrainedRaptor.
This was a case of finding a balance between pleasing the client and trying to keep up my policy of "No fetish material" in my art. My original goal was to make him look very playful... which I think I did... but maybe also a bit more suggestive then I would have liked as well. Still a fun character to draw, though. I had a blast with all those little blue stripes. ^_^
Dinosaurs are fun!

If you were looking for less 'fetish looking' maybe to have the rope affect more of em, I mean with how he's posing it is very suggestive, especially from he legs and how the arms are. Mayhaps having him in a sort of 'crumbled up ball' and a 'sheepish grin' might of been more satisfying to both of you.
I'm not knocking your work, just offering my opinion

Hahaha, Sigma is being a very naughty raptor right now, isn't he? Well, in no time at all, we can make him a very knotty raptor too with that rope! XD
To date, I've only ever seen your submissions when browsing the VCL. I did not know that you had a FA account as well! The VCL hardly gets any submissions per day anymore, and is actually quite easy to keep up with! Every time you would submit something there, it would be a real treat! I pretty sure I've saved every single one of your submissions you've made there! The characters you create, along with their bios and sheets, really fascinate me! Some of your character designs are so freaking creative that they just blow me away! You can look forward to me invading your gallery someday with comments galore!
I really really love how you did his facial expression! It expresses his personality perfectly! I love his playful toothy grin as he holds the end of the rope in his mouth! His blue stripes really stand out; heck, they appear to be glowing! It's funny how spread out he is too! Perhaps he's trying to show off how flexible he is!
Marvelous work UlarioGryphon! Hopefully you enjoyed creating this artwork as much as we enjoy viewing it! ^.=.^

I'll post the same thing I did on dA because I think it's fitting.
Wow. I think you did a great job making him look very playful. Yeah it is suggestive. But it really works. The picture as a whole with what is going on, the pose and the whole general feel of it and I'd say you got the expression perfectly. Yeah he looks suggestive. But don't feel bad about that. It really works for this picture. Awesome job! ^__^

I am definitely liking the balance here, it isn't too suggestive in my opinion, so reputation is still intact. I really love what you did with the rope, wrapping it around the tail and then having it wrapped around the foot as well, creating a very playful pose. The talons look really wonderful, I find claws and such to be a real challenge personally, so I think they were nicely done. And the color scheme, brilliant. I see that the person you created this for is pleased, which they should be. Awesome piece.
