See My Chariot, Run To Your Ships -by ~pilsator

Traditional Art / Drawings / Animals

- I know those hat tips to Manowar have long ceased being original. Yet nonetheless here it its, Achillobator giganticus, much-improved over my previous rendition, I think. And if Durbed could turn that thing into something beautiful, this one should have some potential.

I really like Achillobator, and until or unless Scott Hartman comes up with his revamped Utahraptor skeletal reconstruction, this thing is the most badass dromaeosaurid to me. A derived dromaeosaurine that went a long phylogenetic distance to get itself rid of so many sophisticated avian features we wonder at in so many of its relatives, this one is just big, robust, and intimidating. And it's my first when it comes to the new-school wing layout for non-pygostylian paravians that Longrich et al. and Xu recently showed.

Manowar + dinosaurs = PERFECTION.

I think this is the Joey DeMaio of deinonychosaurs.

Love the feathers!!!Looks so beautiful...

~pilsator Dec 20, 2012 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

Thanks! I'm not quite sure what to make of it, I tried to retain a "standard"-looking plumage despite its size, but keep the wings and tail frond small.

What an elegant beast.

~pilsator Dec 17, 2012 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

By dromaeosaurid standards, I tend to think it looks like it has no style, no, speed, no brain, no elegance, no nothing, just raw power, but thanks nonetheless
