Description Dr. Alan Grant: Try to imagine yourself in the Cretaceous Period. You get your first look at this "six foot turkey" as you enter a clearing. He moves like a bird, lightly, bobbing his head. And you keep still because you think that maybe his visual acuity is based on movement like T-Rex - he'll lose you if you don't move. But no, not Velociraptor. You stare at him, and he just stares right back. And that's when the attack comes. Not from the front, but from the side, [makes 'whoshing' sound] from the other two 'raptors you didn't even know were there. Because Velociraptor's a pack hunter, you see, he uses coordinated attack patterns and he is out in force today. And he slashes at you with this... a six-inch retractable claw, like a razor, on the the middle toe. He doesn't bother to bite your jugular like a lion, say... no no. He slashes at you here... or here... or maybe across the belly, spilling your intestines. The point is... you are alive when they start to eat you. So you know... try to show a little respect.


yeah this is a photo of a sketch that i did... took me forever too! yeah the quality of that photo isn't so great though... i may upload this again later

So, this took me about 5 hours. I was on the phone with a good friend of mine while i was watching the third jurassic park movie. I think i had stayed home that day because i was sick.... and well i just started sketching. i hadn't really expected it to become anything worthwhile. honestly this was my first attempt at drawing a dinosaur since i was in like 5th grade. I was amazed at how well it was coming along, especially since i was only paying half attention. I wasn't on the phone the whole time, i think i had just finished the details on the head when i hung up. I always start with the head. I finished the neck then and was like...." holy cow did i really just do that?"

texture by: Princess_of_Shadows

Just recently i started a T-rex. it's taking me a really long time to do cuz of work. i posted he half finished picture here if you want to look

::UPDATE::

yes i changed it... i like this better. if you don't, oh well!

And how'd you do the parchment, exactly? I don't think my printer has that setting unless I were to use a Memory Drive, but where could I get a file or something for Parchment?

AerynV In reply to Jairus17 [2012-08-24 04:39:56 +0000 UTC]

it originally was simply a pencil drawing, then i did the texture in photoshop. it's really simple actually. first i made the lines in pencil drawing brown instead of gray. Then i took one of the parchment textures from here [link] and created awesomeness. this tutorial was really helpful --> [link]

AerynV In reply to JessTheMagnificent [2012-07-16 15:09:20 +0000 UTC]

first i drew it with a regular mechanical pencil, then i just scanned it into my computer, then i added the parchment texture layer on photoshop to make it look all old and whatnot.

how do you make the paper look like that?or do you buy it like that?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

AerynV In reply to AMELIEwolf43 [2011-07-27 18:57:05 +0000 UTC]

it's actually a texture by Princess_of_Shadows. But if you wanted to do that to actual paper, just soak it in coffee for a while and it should have the same effect. I'm not really an expert on it so i'd probably look up a tutorial online somewhere. i think you could buy paper like that if you looked.

AerynV In reply to NamiBWP [2011-03-01 18:47:26 +0000 UTC]

I'm glad you like, it. i got a little better with photoshop so i figured i'd update my deviations. i was a little worried i'd get negative feedback since it was my most popular deviation. I'm relieved that people seem to like this version. And good job on your velociraptor, it looks great!

Well he's looking at you because he's about to cut open your belly with his giant claw and then eat you up! He is a male from the third movie.
