The detail is beautiful, I especially like the definition of the downy feathers on the near leg.

i thought those things had longer necks, but this looks awesome just as it is. you're really talented, especially with the difficult task of figuring out how four wings should look.

Great illustration! You tackled it wonderfully, It is really nice seeing the rarer harder to visualize animals be drawn.
Thank you for helping bring it to life :>

Thanks for your comments.
Yeah, "four wings" have a taste of liberty, kind of...

THIS is ART!!!

the details are amazing, especially the feathers PERFECT!

Even the background is great, I like the branches, leaves and the fern.

FANTASTIC WORK!

I like the thick dark style of this. I like the individual detils of the fuzzyness of it. especially the quill details on the main bit of the one hind limb wing.
I dont know about four wings though. seems a little odd. interesting what nature gives us.
I dont think flying feathers were that defined back then, just basing off of archaeopteryx fossil studies.
the dark fern to the right is lovely ^^

Yes, but it ain't Archie, it's _Cryptovolans pauli_. Actually I own the Czerkas book, and the feathers are very well defined. But the "four wings" are more obvious on the _Microraptor gui_ fossils... possibly the same species.

Thanks for your comments.
