Re: Bambiraptor art: need critique and info.



Hi Thomas,
 
I reply on-list because comparing artwork to skeletal stuff is, I think, a good exercise for a new paleoartist (like me) to help him to make reconstructions more accurate.
 
It seems to me that the head isn't high enough on the nose level (the tip is a bit too thin). But I'm not a specialist, so, if someone has to criticise my point of view, there's no problem for me - do it.
 
If I remember, I found good images on www.bambiraptor.com and I found other good stuff by making a research on www.google.com
 
I send you some images off-list.

Subject: Bambiraptor art: need critique and info.

Hey everyone!
 
I just finished a Bambiraptor portrait in preparation for a larger piece.  I put it up on the web for everyone to critique.  It's based on Greg Paul's reconstruction in Scientific American's Book of Dinosaurs.  Is Paul's art still the most accurate?  The skull seems shorter in the pictures I've found on the internet.  Does anyone know where I can get more detailed photos of the skeleton and mainly the skull?  I'd really like to get David Burnham's opinion if anyone know's his email, or if he's on the listserv.  Any info, or comments from everyone here on the list would be greatly appreciated!
 
 
Thanks in advance!!
