Dakotaraptor

Description

A small part of why I released the old dakotaraptor silhouette is because I made a new one. The reason I had used the Saurian  color scheme was because of something Nick Turinetti had said on an interview. the Saurian team had taken pigments into account in the making of their dinosaurs. Not too long ago I learned via observation that birds of prey have a limited color pallet in their feathers. with the 1 exception of the swallowtail kite, the colors they seem to be restricted to are white, grey, black, brown, yellow, red; and the various shades between.

Dakotoraptor:
length ~18 foot
weight ~700 lb

Despite their large size Dakotoraptors were likely still able to climb even into adulthood. Climbing would be more prominent among younger raptors. I have depicted it with feathers covering the face; something I have long speculated

Aspecial Shout out to :iconmrsamosaurus: and Incinerox for allowing me to use their dakotaraptor Composite 

Disclaimer: I do not take credit for the skeletal references used as bases for the silhouettes I make.

Idk how you do this, how you incorporate a realistic feel into a simplistic artstyle. It’s amazing, truly.
