Microraptor Muscle Studyby ~Qilong

DescriptionDetailsShare
Download JPG 1200 × 1051
This portrays a generalized muscle study of the tiny dromaeosaurid Microraptor gui, based on an outline skeleton without specific propotions adhered to, and modeled from generalized reptiulian and some specific avian muscle patterns. Done to consider how the limbs would look muscled and their apparent effect in being "birdy" or not. Notice the shallow belly, long legs, and the tendons of the arm that form propatagial and cheiropatagial membranes. The hands and feet are shown feathered and skinned, including squamation when relevant, to portray the feathers of the limbs that are integral to considering Microraptor in an evolutionary, biomechanical, and ecological sense.

Of course! Note that this post was done JUST to show off the muscles. It may not be accurate.

OK thanks, but I have another project in mind first: Hatzegopteryx vs Magyrosaurus, as a request from a friend. Please feel free to look at my artwork, I get the feeling that no one's looking.

No one may be looking because you don't have much there. I would say post more, but also fave more. People see what you like and see what you pay attention to. It also brings traffic back to your side because people follow those threads interested in who is faving and why. Leave comments in plentitude!

ah ok sorry for the late reply. I can't really post much anymore because I lost the thing I took pictures with. But I am asking for a DSi XL for my birthday in 3 months, and that has a camera. If I get it, I'll no doubt be posting more! :D

This image seems to be so popular I keep it in my featured section. (I think it's mostly about name recognition). You are very welcome.
