Delicious and nutritious.


I follow a group on deviantArt. Some of it is very cool, unique works from talented artists. Some are hobby artists looking for critiques and ways to improve themselves. And the rest... well...


A masterful piece. Don't worry, guys, you can buy it as a print!


An art work and a fanfic in one? Too much talent for deviantART! Description of the piece, followed by a fanfic:

quote:

This is the cover to my Power Rangers fanfic "Healing Rain". I just wanna tell you guys that I'm working on some new Pokemon yaoi stories at the moment. Just give me some time to work on the story about a male Lucario, a male Rapidash, and a male Zebstrika. It's going to be great! ;D

"Healing Rain"

Disclaimer: I do not own Power Rangers.
Summary: Vexacus hates to admit that he has feelings for a clown. Shimazu sometimes regrets falling for a bounty hunter. Can the rain heal their sorrow? SLASH! A Ninja Storm oneshot.

Shred Savalage somehow means 'slash ninga'?
Does he mean Savage, or Salvage or even Saveloy?
Even then none of those would mean ninja, assuming Shred Savalage is a ninja instead of a massive racist.

Well, guys, I think we've just found the most beautiful sentence in the English language.

Kitten Cakes posted:

He's an Acceraptor.

Acceraptors are a fictional dinosaur species that Brannon "Threshold" Braga created for "Terra Nova". They look vaguely like Oviraptors but are capable of bashing things apart with their pygostyles "Tail-Blades". They are like something born from the collective consciousness of Deviant Art (more on this in a bit).

People, this is a "Terra Nova" Acceraptor fan-character. I think I need to lie down after realizing this.

But first - More Results for "Raptor Claw"! You know how I said the rear end-raptors look like something created by the people of Deviant Art? This is why:



A Velociraptor-Wolf-Lion. If it were rainbow-colored and had beautiful Blue Jay wings, I'd re-nominate this as DA's Power Animal. (E: Though I just noticed it already has swirly facial markings, so points for that.)

Oh but wait!



A Velociraptor-Wolf-Lion-Pony! I cannot for the life of me stop laughing at this thing. Say, have you ever noticed how you don't see many large quadrupedal predators with their largest claws on their hind feet? Ever wonder if maybe there's a reason?



A (deep breath) Velociraptor-King Cheetah-Lion-Bird of Goddamn Paradise-I Don't Even Know Anymore. This was invented by a person involved with a group for art of animals with feathers; a group I otherwise rather like. But of course, since it's Deviant Art, this group's mascot is a loving cheetah with feathers.

E: One more for the road. The title is "Foot Study for 'Raptor Red' Comic":

I'm not an expert, and I might sound a bit too picky for some, but if this was real wouldn't it be TOO flashy to be a predator? And all those feathers would get on its way.

Rahonavis posted:


Bonus: Here is a model sheet for a stunningly original dragon character where, as usual, there are tons of words explaining the dragon's angsty past.

But the dude also openly admits, "Yeah, I don't draw his wings sometimes cuz they're hard, LOL, but HE ALWAYS HAS WINGS!!!" I want to do another parody character sheet where "Yeah, I don't always draw her arms and legs and face cause they're hard but THEY ARE ALWAYS THERE I ASSURE YOU STOP LOOKING AT ME WEIRD!"

This was a while back but it's stuff like this that hurts me the most. The artist very obviously has talent, and I actually really enjoy the characters design. But they have to make it a Disney reject with an ANGST past and a "bunnyrat" sidekick, instead of just letting it be a badass dragon. It looks like it could be a mount for a hero in a fantasy-future setting. Now that I could get into.

Since "feathers would get in the way of hunting/eating/whatever" is an actual "T. rex and Utahraptor couldn't have feathers" argument, I should note that the feathers -even on Acinonychus here- wouldn't necessarily get in it's way any more than a lion's mane would. Or, more to the point since feathers are very definitely not fur, a modern-day very big predatory bird's feathers would. (I need to do another parody with a naked Haast's Eagle one of these days...)

But you're right on the "prey could see this thing coming miles away" thing. And with that in mind, let me introduce you all to the concept of the Sparkleraptor, a feathered theropod which has heard of this "survival of the fittest" thing and wants no truck with it. It also seems to exist only to make the concept of feathered maniraptors so much harder to get people who aren't paleo-nerds on board with:



Now it isn't like there are no brightly colored birds out there. Indeed, they tend to get a lot of attention.



But you may have noticed that the fabulous brightly colored birds tend to not be the ones who have to sneak up on live prey animals for a living. They also tend to live high up in the trees of tropical forests where they actually are fairly well-camouflaged. And most important of all: they tend to be literally rare birds.



For every one gaudy species of Bird of Paradise, there are about two-dozen species of brown-with-gray-stripes, gray-with-brown-stripes, slightly-different-brown-with-darker-brown-stripes species of sparrow.



To be fair, the Sparkleraptor actually isn't a new thing. Take a look at very old dinosaur books. Almost across the board all the naked (and at the time assumed to be naked) dinosaurs are all the lovely shades of Crap Brown, Diarrhea Green, and Intestinal Distress Puce.



Meanwhile Archeopteryx, because she is the only animal with feathers around, is almost always reconstructed with bright flashy rainbow colors. Colors that, from a camouflage standpoint, make no sense at all in the otherwise lovely-colored environment she lives in.



Today we know of many more genre of feathered theropods. And we even know, through analyzing feather fossils, what color plumage some of them had.



Turns out Archaeopteryx and her relatives were likely similar in color to modern birds of prey: black-and-white patterns, brown-and-white patterns, brown-and-red patterns. Just recently Microraptor was determined to be something like a modern grackle with iridescent feathers that would be dark under cover and then "sparkly" in the sun.

(Brace yourself, here comes another candidate for DA's Power Animal.)



In short, they were all pretty well camouflaged, which shouldn't really come to a surprise if you understand birds. Which, it turns out, a depressing number of people evidently don't. At all.

-----

I also found this thing.



And this thing.



(Good, believable plumage colors but why would you do this WHY?!?)

And finally, this... (Possible NSFW due to featureless naked... person?)

Yet again, we've got a very talented artist. And she uses her considerable drawing skills to go full-on Siren Duck with anthropomorphic roller-coasters that can apparently get pregnant, which is a concept that is almost as confusing as Christian Furries.
