Description
Oh damn, seems we took a wrong turn in the time machine! Quickly, back to the future!!Devolved for of her Whitebacked vulture and African wild dog characters devolved into a Utahraptor and Miacis respectively.
Super fun to do and thanks for everyone who watched this on livestream. I enjoyed having an audience.

Haha oh this looks great -- and I'm compelled to make a long comment about it (despite I'm on my knees at the time)
First of all, I really like the work you put in this, and I'm especially pleased you enjoyed doing it (wouldn't have felt as good about the outcome if it had been total torture hehe).
The background, though relatively simple compared to your more elaborate works, is beautiful, and I like how the details fade out with distance as they would if I were truly looking at them. The choice is also quite interesting--the rocky, desert-like scenery is appealing and works well with where they'd likely be seen (at least for my African critters there), and the colors -- I just adore how you can use the color theory (even with the intense contrast of cool against warm in the shadows). It looks quite artistic and also pretty believable-- a good combo, especially for the way you used style and digital painting on the characters.
Moving on to them: I really like the dynamic poses on the characters, as well as the perspective and angle you used to portray them with (especially when you mentioned before there was a challenge with the raptor since there weren't really many references for such an angle). Crotia and Masozi look just as I'd think anyone would in that situation -- scared crapless. I also find it pleasantly ironic that Masozi would have to carry around Crotia for a change, and with the species and size alterations, I think it's almost as though their personalities switched to match, a good touch, even if not intended haha.
The textures and painting were done wonderfully, and the image is just marvelous. I'm quite pleased I could get another commission with you, and I am not disappointed in the least. Very well-done, as expected from you, and I hope to once again do business with you in the future :3

Let's hope he's more vulture than raptor and he just wants to give them a big hug.
