Digital Art / Drawings / Animals

Pen and ink drawing painted in Photoshop. Sorry, but this drives me up the wall.

Addendum: Boy have I got some interesting comments on this one. O_o
For the record, I'm angry at the *professional* artists, toy makers, ect. who are still doing this. No offense is meant to the "Jurassic Park" fandom (hell, I'm *part* of that fandom, so yeah). You don't have to stop drawing "JP"-style 'raptors just because of this comic. (But don't knock feathered maniraptors until you draw a few yourself. Feathers are ruttin' easy to draw anyway.)

Do note, there is an Important Addendum.

Also, please please please READ THE COMMENTS before posting. There's a lot of great information down there that couldn't be expressed in a picture smaller than the size of a sheet of paper. Read this article as well, because Brian Switek explains it all better than I ever could.

Re-visiting as the movie turns 20. This still holds true. BIRD-LIKE RAPTORS FOREVER!

But what would you be scared of more? A little Mockingbird or a 23 foot long Saltwater Crocodile?

~clubpenguindino Feb 20, 2013 Hobbyist General Artist

And what if the mockingbird was 23 feet long also?

~KritterKid Feb 20, 2013 Hobbyist General Artist

Then you would be in even more trouble.

(A) Love that I'm still getting comments on this one.

(B) As far as I am aware, I'm pretty safe from crocodiles as long as I stay well away from the waters in which they swim. They can chase you, but they tucker out pretty quickly. Mockers can dive down at you from any tree.

(C) This is a ridiculous argument anyway, since deinonychosaurs are *nothing* like crocodiles aside from the fact that they are both Archosaurs. It's like comparing a Hyrax and a Manatee.

~KritterKid Jan 20, 2013 Hobbyist General Artist

Well then is there even any fossil evidence that proves all Raptors had feathers?

~babbletrish Jan 21, 2013 Professional Traditional Artist

Yes there is. Read the other comments.

Almost makes me never to want to eat chicken again. Almost.

Anyone who thinks anything feathered is not scary should go up to a great horned owl's nest and disturb it. Those things can punch.

A teacher of mine from years back told of his experience with a mother great horned owl. She would literally clench her foot in a fist and punch anyone who got too close. And thus nobody went near her; they had to wait for her to leave.

O.O

I need to see footage of owls punching things.
