Nice! I really like your feathered dinosaurs, as you don't skimp on the plumage.

This one will take a while I´m afraid, I´m doing lot of detail like better looking scales and stuff...meanwhile I´ve done some minor drawings like this running Dromaeosaurus: Another triumph Arioch, nothing minor about it! Love it!! |

Thank you! ;D I hope some people eventually realize that feathered dinosaurs aren´t necesarily hideous and unsightly. Thats part of the point I try to made sometimes. Not like it actually matters... they´re animals after all and our aesthetic values should be irrelevant when it comes to portray them.

That Dromaeosaurus is very cool!

I hope some people eventually realize that feathered dinosaurs aren´t necesarily hideous and unsightly. They're only really 'hideous and unsightly' when people draw them incorrectly, eg. they skimp on the feathers or make the animal look like a scaly dinosaur in a fluffy jumpsuit. When done properly they look every bit as nice as birds. Although I agree with what you say about 'aesthetic values'. After all, it's hard to make a Citipati pretty (although Niroot had a good stab at it). |

I like em' feathered, non-feathered, and even partially feathered from an artistic stand point.  Although it's hard for me to look at a Therizinosaur anymore without seeing feathers on it. lol |

Sure  , but still there´s a worrying number of people who plainly rejects all kind of feathers on non avian dinosaurs, accurate or not and consider them unaesthetic. Like there were two versions of "raptors" in pop culture: the scientific and... the cool scaly ones. Being the former little more than a joke created by some lunatic nerds without sense of fashion. Sigh. PS: Just noticed that I should have made longer primary feathers on the dromie. Anyway I have three more projects regarding dromaeosaurs ( another version of Austroraptor, two fighting Deinonychus and a Velociraptor based on an skeletal reconstruction) so I´ll be more careful with this ones. But first, the fried Giraffatitan... |

Well. While I finish the Giraffatitan along with other other pieces (all related to dromaeosaurs) I´ve been updating some "old" drawings I wasn´t satisfied with, like this mother Dromaeosaurus:  |

Arioch, your art contains so much energy and life. I think that's not an easy thing to accomplish, but you make it seem effortless. I really like this one (I know, I say that about all of your illustrations...but it's true! ) |

Definitely a HUGE improvement over your early pieces..it has detail, emotion, lot's of the same things I prize in my own work.

Thanks guys! totoro, you will make me blush. ;D. I still have a lot to improve, the life on this drawings is still far of what I want to achieve. Everything looks better in mind than how it actually end looking...
By the way I modified the last one a bit, since the young dromaeosaur tail looked too bendy in mom´s jaws.

I added some colour to the (male) Dromaeosaurus...I believe tomorrow or Monday you will see more substantial updates!  |

Here´s something new...a jumping Unenlagia. I believe tomorrow I will show something else, since I´ve been a bit busy....  |

I especially like the crest feathers.

Thanks! I´m not sure about the anatomy though, specially regarding arms and snout (since the remains are quite scarce maybe we should assume it looked more like Buitreraptor?)

Anatomy wise it doesn't look too far off from my unenlagias. That being said I see nothing wrong with it lol.

Your Giraffatitan piece is wonderful; I like everything, the poses, sense of movement and composition.
I keep imagining what it might be like if it was all rendered in pencil in its entirety. ;D

Thanks! I feel a bit frustrated with this one though. I drew a lot of tiny "scales" all over the body, but in the final rendering only a few of them are showing. Sigh. Maybe you´re right and I should have spent even more time with the pencil work, doing shadows and stuff which probably would enhance this details.
