Description This is kind of a tryout for a microraptor adoptable. I missed the initial deadline, but if the knew person doesn't draw it by the 13th than I get another try. xD

So anyway. This is JayJay, she's a microraptor with the general markings of a blue jay (I think it's a blue jay?). She's generally sweet, friendly, and shy, and around larger creatures she can be quite skittish. She is very proud about her beautiful feathers, and she keeps them meticulously clean. Her favorite food is fish, usually the freshwater kind.

((Lolll I was going to do a jungleish background by as of late my background skills have been sucking so badlyyy. It's pretty terrible, so you get flat color. /flings at watchers))

Near the end of the tail, the pencil work seems a bit misplaced, but other than that, great use of color and shading. You have quite an interesting style, almost like a two dimensional drawing that pops like a 3d. If that makes any sense at all, anyway.

Thanks! Yeah, I realize some of the linework is a bit off in some places, but it's the first time I've ever drawn a dinosaur/raptor. xD I consider myself a dinosaur anatomy newbie lol.

It looks very nice. I'm sorry it worked out this way, but we'll see what happens.

If Izzy does finish hers in time, perhaps we can work out a deal with her or something. We'll cross that bridge when we get there, don't worry.


The designs of both no. 1 and no. 2 were actually based on a bird called the tanager. They're the blue tanager and the golden-hooded tanager respectively. ^^

Ohh, a tanager. That makes more sense. xD

Ah well, if Izzy finishes hers than she can definitely have her. It IS rightfully hers after all! She can just consider this 'fanart' or something. xD

Good news. Izzy knows about your internet situation and decided to give the raptor to you. Congrats! ^^
