Updated 2/27/13 at 11:40 PM. I can't believe I finished this in one night.

It's a brisk March morning in the Early Cretaceous and the alpine sky is deep blue. A male Utahraptor stretches his wings- it's been a long hike up the mountain, but he's finally found a suitable nesting ground where his young will be able to hone their hunting skills on small mammals without getting trampled by clumsy ornithischians (he'll be doing the brooding, as do other male raptors). It's too cold to for his mate to lay her eggs yet as the ground is still covered in snow. His feathery coat and nimble build give them free reign on frosty cliff sides where larger predators wouldn't dare. But spring is near and soon this overlook with be littered with eggshells and down.

Done in black ink with a touch of graphite and ebony for tint.
