Too bad you were requested to not include plumage. Based on your other feathered creatures from your gallery, I'd love to see what a proper dromaeosaur would look like drawn by you.

What a beautiful piece! Like a tiger, your fictional theropod is strikingly colored yet well-camoflauged. Have you ever considered or done actual paleontography? I can see that much of what you do is comission work, but you would be great at it.

Yay! non fluffy feathers!

Not to be a stickler, but wouldn't the eyes be further forward?

The eye placement looks right in relation to other dromeosaurs. Though I did give it more binocular vision than other dromeosaurs.

To me, it just looks like that's where the tympani should go. Maybe I'm just biased by modern reptiles.

You should look to modern birds instead of modern reptiles.

Probably true. But, if I'm not mistaken, haven't they found therapod fossils with that tympani bone ring in the spot where you put the eye?
