Artist's Comments

I actually think this turned out reasonably well.

Another archaeopteryx with its prey, a freshly killed young sinoconodont. This is another piece for my AP portfolio. Done with prismacolors and a chalk pastel background.

You know, I never really thought that Archaeopteryces resembled birds that closely, but rather were very lizardlike.

I've always invisioned them as very birdlike.

Well, I suppose to each their own.

Looks nice, love the detail and shading, and great anatomy as always. Should serve your AP portfolio well.

What a ferocious little bird. Er, quasi-bird. I like the background.

There's not enough blood on the little mouse thingy! :o
...Just kidding.

It's great. The feathers do look a little fur-like, and the position of the wing on the right looks a little weird, but those are just tiny quibbles.
I love the contrast of the textures in the foreground and background - it seems soft with the beams of light and tree, where as the dinosaur is very crisp and stands out wonderfully. Oh, and did I meantion those talons are amazing?
:D
