Grimm, that's really good :-)

Damn, it must be hard to breathe in the lofty heights of paintsmanship Grimm has achieved! So the asphyxation is making him see problems where there are none. :lol:

Absolutely swell painting. If I would ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO pin-point room for improvement, just one thing, and it is probably from the photo: the black rims on the spots look a bit too irregular for my taste. Especially on the left side of the large spot, where the thigh starts. Maybe clean it up with a bit of white (or whatever that colour is). :?

See, now I like the irregular black  :)
So you may as well go ahead and paint the rest because changing something isn't going to please everyone.

I agree with Matakishi on the black, I think if you make it too unifomr it will look like camo painted on rather than natural flesh patterns

Don't change him, looks great. The other raptors aren't Tamyia are they?

Being the perfect host he is shaking his guest's hand as he asks him to lunch!  I wonder what's on the menu?

I like colour scheme.  A pack of these all similarly painted - though keep the pattern a bit different on each and maybe give the Alpha-male/female a bright coloured throat?

Not at all Grimm :)  this is the thing with Dinosaurs no one knows what they looked like, the old perception was they were dull colours however recently they are thinking that they had varied patterns on their skin to help with hunting, display etc so the worlds your oyster you ojly need to google to see some of the concept drawings to see the patterns, indeed I took some of them for my dinos :mrgreen:
