Oh, it turned out quite fine. With lost projects, the only one who will know they're gone is you. The raptor's rather nice. Stomp those claws and shake that tailfan! :>

Yay! Feathers!

I bet! Next you need to draw a fully feathered raptor!

Awesome raptor! Do you plan to draw more raptors in the future?

cool very nice love the shading ^^

wow must say...very impressive!

It was so worth the trouble.

Wow, this software is not cheap. But I guess if you or anyone else has some corrupted file troubles, you will be able to help in the future. ^'===='^

Wow, she's pretty!
At least you found a solution. Not cheap, but it's not that expensive either (when I worked tech support a guy's hard drive died, the whole ghost: BIOS couldn't see it. $1700 to have it looked at with an electron microscope)

That's exactly what the professor said.
Not in so many words, but essentially, his files weren't worth the expense out of his pocket (the school supplies computers, tech support, software, and so on, but not extreme measures...like electron microscopes).

I see she is showing off her feet.

That is as astonishing as ever :)

I'm happy you where able to recover it :3 it came out very nice :3

OMFG so awesome!!!! Glad you were able to recover it :)

I'm glad you were able to recover most of it! It turned out awesome. :D

Pretty nice, Im happy that you could restore a part of the file and Im sorry for you that you loose the background, I can feel with you.

Its amazing, baby!!!!

Whew, glad you were able to save so much of it...and wow, that turned out just beautiful! The smoothness of the shading on her form is so lovely! Incredible lighting work!

the most beautiful of all raptor

Oh man, the way you do lighting makes me just go harblgarblashdkfjhaskjd. <3

Pretty raptor is pretty. :D

very very nice! great detail!

Oh yes... I must say, for all the trouble and expense this mistake has caused you, it was well worth the trouble to get it back.

This is simply stunning, not just because it's a raptor (but that helps!) All the detail in her scales and feathers and smooth, lifelike shading makes me want to keep staring at it, like... 'Me Gusta'. ^..^

Your first raptor? That's really hard to believe that as you did her perfectly. Now I've seen a lot of raptors, but this is one very beautiful, sexy raptor. It looks like you nailed every little anatomic detail that makes a perfect raptor, all in one drawing. Even the pose is elegant and luring (it reminds me of http://www.furaffinity.net/view/2207594/ which is a fave of mine). I think whatever you've learned while doing dragons seems to work well for raptors. Oh - the opposable thumbs on the foreclaws - a very handy deviation from the standard feral form! I would do the same.

I beg you to do more raptors in the future. ^..^ I will most likely be commissioning you some time... when I decide what I want.

Drawing a similar pose isn't anything to be ashamed of! Yours is still original - it's more dynamic.

I'm always in favor of taking artistic liberties to enhance a creature, especially since this is a world of fantasy we thrive in. I know some people get really pedantic about these things.. If a real deinonychus was fully feathered, had shorter legs and no thumbs, does it matter? Not really. It's the beauty that matters.

Have you never taken commissions? I'm shocked! I'm sure there will be a demand for your reptiles if you decide to.

That's a fair reason, if you want to stay anonymous. I feel the same way. Maybe art trades are for you!

You did an absolutely amazing job with this raptoress. Her smooth slender body is simply gorgeous. You have a real talent for drawing scalian creatures. Always loved your dragons, very happy to see you doing raptors as well now. Hope to see more from you!

Le raptor! She's all like, KISS MY FOOT. 8D
