Thanks a lot so far about _any_ suggestions and feedback toward my (not so modest) scenario, in particular to Marco, indigomagpie, SMNT2k, and everyone on Tomozaurus's forum (it seriously needs more love, so for any self-respecting paleoartist or dino nut, do join!). And to everyone's wishes for my birthday. Commencing the first steps of a HL2 mod of at least equal scope with one of my best friends, I hope to find paleoarting moments for the last days of this month. First weeks of the next one, I'll be the first week of August off to the Netherlands, exploiting the last remainder of that (in)famously liberal soon-to-be-dead-drug policy and everything that might ensue convergently. Lots of lariid sketches while I'm gonna enjoy my dutchstuff, and the inspiration it might bring (my scrapbook and a pencil will find their way over the border just as well) toward this pseudo-project. As for now, although I might submit some unrelated drawings until then, I'd need a fair deal of study in motion of extant theropods. Cross your fingers for some new stuff or don't, it will surface here anyway. I won't be online on a daily basis, although there are at least 2 pals of mine with their fancy HTC's to allow for some temporary internet access, while I still brandish my proterozoic Nokia 33wtf.

It's not as bad as it might actually seem. As a kind of visual thinker, this might serve a lot to my paleoart. My understanding of maniraptoran wing folding didn't quite arise until my boredom as a conscientious objector hit me hard enough during my alternative service to watch those common blackbirds out there. I've been doodling paravian wings seriously since I was about 16, 5-6 years ago, ridiculous bullshit until then. So any idea of those "shorebirds" (successive outgroups to the passerine "crown") digging out our rubbish and instant noodles will make for nice studies of smaller maniraptors and non-maniraptors (AMS, I hear you thinkin' 'bout Hesperonychus, perhaps juvenile saurornitholestians and troödoonts [fück yeäh för Germän keyböärds with their ümläuts despite för this nätiön's need to bite the dust as soon as possible], and maybe leptoceratopsids). Adding insult to injury, I've always been a more weed-powered paleoartist since a long time before I joined dA, so there goes (my deinonych painting, which I still consider one of my "finest" works, wouldn't have been finished without a long paper and some good pot prior to drawing). But don't panic, it's never been a necessity and it won't ever be. Nothin' out there out-awesoming the most common avian internal specifier zerg rushing your camp and scrounging your last fries from your hand on the last day while re-assembling your stuff before leaving. Can't promise any photographs (with my digicam screwed and that anachronistic cell phone), but I'm gonna try to capture some extant theropod wildlife for uploading purposes. Boring stuff for fellow Central Europeans, but remember, it's the internal specifier of internal specifiers, unless you go with Gauthier& deQueiroz favoring Vultur gryphus :D
