La cover per il secondo volume della serie Dinosauri [link] . Vi si vedono: • Archaeopteryx lithographica in primo piano; • Steneosaurus sp. in secondo piano a sinistra; • Juravenator starki in secondo piano a destra; • Pterodactylus antiquus in volo sullo sfondo;
Sono abbastanza contento della resa generale, ma devo dire che dopo tutto questo tempo noto una serie di errori che mi infastidiscono... se dovessi disegnare Archaeopteryx oggi, lo farei differente. Probabilmente si tratta di errori dovuti all'inesperienza.

This is the cover for the second "Dinosaurs" book: [link] You can see: • Archaeopteryx lithographica (close up); • Steneosaurus sp. (behind Archie on the left); • Juravenator starki (behind Archie on the right); • Pterodactylus antiquus flying in the background;
I'm pretty happy about this at all, but I must say that after all this time I notice a number of flaws that annoy me a lot... if I would draw Archie today, it would be pretty different. Maybe these mistakes were due to my inexperience.
Beautiful artwork. Though there are some anatomical flaws, which you might have already noticed. First, Archaeopteryx had the raptor-like "killing claw" in it's hindlimbs. It was smaller than those of dromaeosaurs, but it was still there (shown by the Thermopolis specimen). Secondly, the flight feathers should be attached to the longest digit, as it seems to be with all maniraptorans with fossilized feather impressions - and in modern birds. And the third thing is that Archie should also have flight feathers on it's hindlimbs, as the Berlin specimen indicates.
Thanks.
sure thing
