I Found It! It's Mine!

Description

An Unenlagia finds a dead fish in a shallow lagoon. After several hours of unsucessful hunting, he won't pass an easy meal.

This was more of an experiment in feather texturing. My usual technique works fine for fur-like or shaggy feathers as those on the lower body, but the wings and neck, omg.

The overall idea was inspired by this photograph, by Frank Paul Silye. As a sidenote: for all you paleoartists out there, I highly recommend looking for animal photos, especially birds. It makes it much easier to visualize an extinct animal when you are familiar with the living ones.

Hate to get straight to the point, but I can upload this to Wikipedia? It's for educational purposes; since there are no currently dated pieces of Paleoart reflecting on Unenlagia's habitat or diet. Apologies for uploading it before I asked.
