Raptamei

Titled after this song by E.S. Posthumus: [link]

I listened to their songs basically the entire time I drew this |D

I wanted to do another full-Copic piece, and I wanted to draw raptors with cool colors. 'Nuff said CB

About 6 hrs total spent on this, I used Copic markers, Faber-Castell inking pens, and a generic white gel pen. :>

The few things I regret doing on this piece were 1. Adding gel pen to the foreground ferns. To me they look really distracting now
And 2. Starting off with back lighting. I thought it would have a neat effect, but I learned right around doing the arch that back lighting with copics is REALLY hard to pull off. I pretty much gave up on it by the time I reached the raptors, but hopefully it's not too noticeable. XD

And the face of the ground raptor looks a little strange to me, dunno why Didn't notice it till I scanned this in, though, so no fixing it now XD

But I really love their dinosaur feet and the posing of the crouching raptor 8D And I also really like the way the ruins came out. :>

Oh, and you may be asking, "Why are there raptors near man-made structures? That's impossible! >:U" Well, they're there because I wanted to draw them there, duh CB
^{Bahaha I bet you probably didn't even notice raptors don't belong in man-made ruins. At least, I wouldn't have. |D}

Hope you like! <3 No crits please, I've noticed pretty much every mistake in this piece, trust me |D

I'll be selling prints of this at the Furfest, and I might have the original with me too, though that won't be for sale XD
