Description
I imagine Deinonychus as a highly opportunistic predator that would’ve attempted small prey whenever possible, much like modern wild canids and felids. Here it crashes into shallow water to snatch an eel. A bit of Deinonychus Unagi to complement my Deinonychus Sushi.Another graphite sketch on computer paper that began as a glorified doodle at a conference. I know, most of my uploads lately have been pencil drawings, but never fear, I have a big new paleoart painting to share at the end of the month!

At over 100lb isn’t Deinonychus too large to specialize on very small prey? All extant canids and felids similar to Deinonychus in size routinely eat animals over 1/4 their own mass.

The whole point of the illustration is that it would have generalized, NOT that it specialized on small prey.

GAH! I just love your art so much! You really capture dinosaurs as animals, in some ways better than any paleoartist I know.
Where do you find your inspiration and references? I'm especially curious after this piece.

Simply breathtaking.
Though it would be nice if you colorized your graphite sketches.

And thus, kick started the evolution of aquatic raptors.

Beautiful. I really like the perspective and bubbles. Respect for all that work with stones - that cost a lot of patience or it didn't?

This is the most amazing piece of paleoart I have seen all year. In fact I think this may be also your best.
