:iconrhynn:
An attempt at reconstructing Deinonychus antirrhopus after a skeletal drawing by Scott Hartman.
Colouring and plumage borrowing from Harpy and Bateleur eagles as well as Bearded vulture.

There are a good deal of errors in there and it doesn't look as birdlike as it should...I'm not very convinced about the rear part and the legs either but it's a first step toward more serious paleoart. :)

EDITS :

I got great feedback both here and in other forums so I decided to make some edits on the image :

- I made the tail more muscular, particularly at the base.
- I removed the tertial feathers (I should probably remove the last top three feathers at the elbow too...)
- I edited the name to Deinonychus antirrhopus; without capitalization on the species name.
- And finally...I signed, because I always forget to.

this is amazing. This is THE BEST deinonychus I have seen here on DA. I really think you should do more and you can see that every single part of it has so much effort put into it. it LOOKS REAL. REALLY REAL. amazing. outstanding job, what program did you use to make it?

Thank very much for stopping by and leaving a comment. It really means a lot. Your work is an amazing source of inspiration and the information you share in your blog helps in so many ways better understand theropod anatomy and well, anatomy in general. Thank you for sharing it with us.
