Of course you do you sexy bastard :P

Also thanks for those who liked my stuff,tough IMO really don't deserve to be here, im no professional or anything, just a hobbyist and i may actually be the worst of the TRT roster of artists in terms of actual quality.

Lies. You would be one of the best artists on the TRT. However like everyone else you have room for improvement.

Those are by far some of the most creative reconstructions i have ever seen for these particular species.

What I want to know is why nobody is restoring Yi's skin membranes stretching down to its feet, like every other gliding animal...

Wouldn't it affect too much the movement of an animal that's an obligate biped on the ground? Of course on the rare moments it would actually be ON the ground.

I agree, and considering it was rather long legged, these moments might not be at all so rare, and membrane aside it seems pretty well adapted to walking in the ground.

Well pterosaurs are quadrupeds, of course. :P

As CyborgIguana said pterosaurs are quadrupeds. Also Microraptor has wing feathers on its four limbs not one simple membrane going from its arms to legs, even its wing feathers on its back limbs were on the opposite side of the leg so they weren't connected to the arm by a membrane.

What is your fav reconstruction of Utahraptor?
I'm torn between Jurassic Fight Club, WWD, and Dinosaur King.
Dinosaur Revolution version is a little too feathery in my opinion.

As far as I know, none of these are accurate, even the Dinosaur Revolution one which has some problems with its wing feathers :P
My favourites out of all of these are the WWD and DR ones. The JFC one is just woefully inaccurate, it's like they've made it ugly on purpose.

The DR Utahraptor, which is my favorite out of the four options you gave, however is the most accurate of the four, despite having problems with the wing feathers, though WWD's Utahraptor is pretty cool.

I personally think Dinosaur King's and JFC's are very ugly.

Sorry, but Utahraptor probably DID have that extent of feathering (maybe even more extensive than the DR Utahraptor).

Dromaeosaurs are basically big flightless birds with teeth and tails, there's absolutely no reason they should be any less feathery than their present-day counterparts.

Out of those three you mentioned, I like the WWD depiction for nostalgia, but the other two give me eyesores.
