Description RDX-Birth Island Raptor
height: 2 meters
length: 5 meters
weight: 367 lbs

As Birth Island succumbs to countless mutations, it doesn't change the fact that most of the creatures remained hostile. The Raptors of the island proves to be a problem enough for those who unwittingly or accidentally get washed into the island.

Hunting in packs, the Raptors are known for their leg power, in both speed and strength, as well as being known for their hunger. With the island now nearly overrun by giant monsters, the hunters resorts to taking down creatures larger than them in numbers or hunt in singles so long as they can kill and keep what they can.

Being preyed upon by other predators made them cunning and intelligent, often learning in each hunt and adapting. Waiting. Hunting...

Powers/Abilities:
~ can outrun a cheetah and leap from great distances due to leg power and aerial support thanks to the spines fins on their backs and tails
~ clawed forearms and hind legs for easily attaching and ripping larger prey
~ slight intelligence similar to primates
~ powerful jaws

((I thought the island could use some "numbers" littering around))

Love the originality with this piece - unless this is something previously around that I haven't heard of til now. The "plates" or "fans" along the back and head add the most unique touch, as well as the forelimbs. Too bad this didn't get actual screen credit.

no, it's a original creation. my version of "monster island" had all sorts of creatures of various sizes, and I thought something smaller would be cool.

Yeah, mixes things up a bit. Makes sense to have other various life on the island, and gives it a more "expanded universe" feel to it.

His left leg looks a bit broken there but otherwise I really like the sense of ferocity and motion here.

yeah, i butchered it by accident. I didn't noticed it until I accidentally inked it. I tried to "fix" it, but, yeah...

lol, had moments like that too. It's why these days I prefer to scan and ink rather then by hand. That way if you mess up you can always rescan or work on the original document again .

O3O so with the spines, they can glide a short distance?

not glide, just jump. they don't have the proper structure for gliding or flying
