MPC-D 100/42by ~pilsator

Traditional Art / Drawings / Animals

aka GI 100/42, aka GI SPS 100/42, aka GIN 100/42, aka IMG 100/42, aka MPD 100/42, aka PST 100/42, aka the Zamyn Khondt oviraptorid, the artist formerly known as Oviraptor's flagship specimen.

This nameless oviraptorid falls flat into the category of "coelurosaurs I've always liked and never been able to draw to my satisfaction" - this attempt, however, comes very close. It's known from a great skeleton, has the trademark slanted rectangular crest, might or might not be (closest to) Citipati, and was a much smaller animal than long assumed (all those 2.5-3 m estimates, I'm looking at you). It also has 15 cervicals (that's a lot for non-avialan theropods, and even a lot for oviraptorosaurs) to compensate for its lack of "ingeniine" sacral awesomeness, and very long and slender hands as opposed to the short, thumb-heavy paws of its more derived relatives.

A substantially lighter-colored animal than my drawing of its (distant-ish within Oviraptoridae) relative Nemegtomaia, this is meant to reflect that 100/42 was a denizen of the arid Djadokhta, as opposed to the forested, well-watered ecosystem of the Nemegt Formation.

More oviraptorids to come. Doing the big sexy crested ones first will force me to be a bit more distinctive with most of the (remaining) "ingeniines".

Beautiful. The first primaries seem to be a bit too close to the finger nail for my taste, but maybe my eyes deceive me.

wieder mal wundervoll gemacht, das einzige was mich etwas irritiert(Vom künstlerischen punkt aus gesehen) ist der so plötzlich "abknickende" schwanz.

Danke. Ok, mag sein, ist aber auf jeden Fall im Rahmen des anatomisch möglichen, und ich denk nicht sonderlich weit über derartige Sachen nach wenn ich was zeichne.

Oh, fällt mir gerade ein, wenn du mal eine farbliche Version von dem Hier sehn willst sag bescheid

~pilsator Dec 20, 2012 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

~Hyrotrioskjan Dec 20, 2012 Professional General Artist

Ok, ist fertig

[link] ich hatte schon mal eine Version für mich selbst gemacht.

~Hyrotrioskjan Dec 20, 2012 Professional General Artist

Ach ja, da fällt mir wieder ein das ich viel zu wenig Oviraptoren zeichne, der hier ist auf jedenfall ein Fave wert

~pilsator Dec 20, 2012 Hobbyist Traditional Artist
