Shy Little Raptor Lievyeby *MelyssaThePunkRocker

Anthro / Traditional Media / Drawings

Comments such as suggestions of colors or patterns to help me for coloring him and any feedback on anatomy and my detailing of his hands, feet, and claws would be appreciated. I know correct anatomy would give him genitals in the pose he is in, but I don't want to draw that and I really don't want to have to slap a mature label on this.

More recent edit: I am currently working on digitizing the outline in Correl paint, and when my Autodesk finally arrives in the mail I will be experimanting with many colors and patterns and feathers for Lievye. He has to look AWESOME! Perhaps I will even try to add a background.
COLORATION WITH BODY PATTERNS: [link]

Edit: I decreased the brightness to counteract the washing out of my scanner.

Unshaded and with a little other info: [link]

Well, the scanner killed the shading...AGAIN! The actual drawing has more dark tones and a bit more contrast that what is shown here, and his elbow and the spikes on his head got blurred during scanning. But I at least managed to shade in his hair. Not sure if I am happy with the result. I will consult photos of real wavy hair and correct it later. As we all know, shading hair is completely unlike shading a body, as hair reflects light in a totally different way. With that in mind, I DID shade the braid in sort of as if it had reflective properties like that of a regular object, just for a dramatic effect. Anyway, I hope you enjoy my first fully shaded version of my adorable Lievye.
I will eventually add his patterns and colors. But that may have to wait until summer. Another semester is coming up and I still need my prismacolor pencils.

She looks so much better in B&W with the shading. But hey, that had been a first effort. The hair is magnificent.

*MelyssaThePunkRocker Dec 21, 2011 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

Thanks a lot! I'm going to add shading to the digital version, too. I just needed to get the basic color layers first. And Lievye is a boy, but he is supposed to look very girly. I guess I have achieved that, haha! XD He looks more like a boy without the hair, like here: [link]

Ahh. The shoulders were hidden by the mane. Also, I always assume that only girls can sit like that with their legs bent.

*MelyssaThePunkRocker Dec 22, 2011 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

Yeah, the shoulders do look a bit more muscular without the mane, as you so appropriately called it. Even though he is a child, I tried to make him slightly more muscular than the average human child, since raptors were pretty strong.

*Skaramine Dec 22, 2011 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

True that. Heck, even baby deer have great muscle definition for their young age. Though, I can see the logic in making the legs doubly so. They were meant to move fast, to leap onto large sauropods, and deliver kicks with those neat killin' claws.

*MelyssaThePunkRocker Dec 22, 2011 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

Yeah! They were more strong than they were long, in contrast to the ostrich-like legs of ornithomimus and gallimimus and they like.

*Skaramine Dec 22, 2011 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

A woman who knows her dinosaurs. Well, actually, I've met quite a few here on DA. But it's always good to meet a new one!
