They're both amazing, though the visibility of the antorbital fenestra on the raptor's snout is bugging me just a little. |

Any other Zdenek Burian fans here? His work is quite dated now, but he stood alongside Charles Knight and Rudolph Zallinger as a paleo-art legend of his time:![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

I like how the paleoartists of old weren't afraid to put a little bit of meat on dinosaur bones. Everything, while inaccurate, at least looks like it was intended to be a fleshed out animal. Marine animals were given rubbery skin. All dinosaurs above had thick, wrinkly skin and solid muscles that covered the skeleton and smoothed out the whole animal. How did we manage to lose that in the first place? |

Probably out of the Dinosaur Renaissance's need to emphasize dinosaurs as leaner, meaner animals. I agree that some artists definitely took it too far though. |

That's another thing I like about Burian, he seemed to be one of the first paleo-artists who wasn't afraid to add splashes of colour to his dinosaurs at a time when most of his contemporaries were still depicting them almost universally in dull greens, greys, and browns. |

Condors and Vultures are usually very ugly (if majestic), no reason to think that Teratorornids may not had been too considering their morphological similarities... |

But look at that neck fluff! It's based on what? A Nicobar pigeon?! That's ridiculous! And what're those crest! Totally not a bad rip-off of secretary bird's.... And the orange face??? Come on, it would certainly look even better with purple or blue! |
