Description
Concept art of the newly discovered Hell Creek dromaeosaur, Dakotaraptor steini. Personally I call this thing the Dragon Slayer. Our team is super excited to implement this amazing discovery into Saurian and what implications it has for our environment. This thing is literally the exact size for a Jurassic Park raptor comparison by the way guys. Imagine getting into tussles with this ghost of Hell Creek as a juvie rex. There may exist a featherless base I made to try feather layouts on top of, but you only get to see it if you know the password. Size and proportions based on an earlier revision of the publication and may be subject to change.
And the paper here:
The first giant raptor (Theropoda: Dromaeosauridae) from the Hell Creek Formation

I like that you gave it feathery feet like a snowy owl.

I believe it is based on the peregrine falcon or the osprey.
I heard it was the falcon.

Hello. I love your crafts. It's amazing how you made a bird into a dinosaur. What I also like is how you made a beak look like a mammal's mouth. It looks like it can eat easier that way, and that tail... I never seen anything like that before. I give you all props. Great work. Keep it up.

I know this is late, but he didn’t invent anything. This is what the animal really looked like (roughly.)

I would love to see some more vivid or even alien colors, like something you don't even see on birds, or that you see sometimes on bird, but some cool colors, like a light purple or even pink/red or blue, something a bit crazy would be really cool, love how real and believable this one looks !

I'm pretty sure 'alien' colours should be restricted to the neck pouches of male Sauropods... And all Cambrian creatures.

May I ask if the current Dakotaraptor gameplay follows the description in the website (unable to run significantly for extended periods and relying on ambush)?

Oh god, just looked at theirs. It looks horrible and it looks shrinkwrapped.

Because animal facial expressions don’t typically correspond to human expressions.

What is the coloration of this (and the in-game model) based on? I'm just wondering if the coloration was based on a certain modern day Avian.

Its based on various birds of prey, there's never just any one influence for the saurian designs. This one was primarily inspired by northern goshawks and ospreys.

That's really cool. Keep up your magnificent work!

Feathers have a lot more diversity than scales do when it comes to character design.
