Great picture Chris! Super lifelike shading and color. Out of all the artists on DA, you are THE one person that truly gets Velociraptor right. It's pretty much your signature dinosaur (kind of like Futalognkosaurus is mine

I love the melanistic one! The models are really accurate and the feather arrangement is very good! But I suggest you a bit more fantasy in the plumage, even if a conservative plumage is perfectly acceptable!

Thanks. Yes I should have been more creative with that one. I may change it someday, after all, I made it in greyscale version as template.

But be a bit leisurely on the Dinosaur feathering is also good, look at this one: [link] The plumage is not extravagant but I think is pretty good :3

Detail is superb especially of the feathers and can really be appreciated at this resolution. Nice to see them at a proper scale too after the JP scale. The eye is a little too simple I think compared to the rest of the image.

Its interesting to imagine the sort of colour variations that could exist in extinct species.

Albino animals typically have red or pink eyes, but otherwise nice colorations!

The top one seems leucistic rather than albino,due to the black claw, dark feet, and blue eyes.

It seems you're right, but i can't make those parts whiter without losing contrast. Didn't know about the claws, though. Thanks, Spike.
