Velociraptor

Created by a Neurodivergent User

Little 8-page comic I made out of boredom! I always imagined an interaction between an actual velociraptor and the Jurassic Park one :)

Took me a while, I was busy with stuff.

So this episode brings two expansions to the park, the one on the lower left and the one on the lower right, we're getting closer to circling around the lagoon.

There's been a change, with a new female variant for Jeholopterus in the aviary, using the Jeholopterus from the scientifically accurate pterosaur mod, while the males remain the base JWE2 variant.

The first addition in the park are actually not in the enclosure, it's a bunch of free roaming Anurognathus, suggested by @Rogeriforloki

The idea I had was that, because they actually have really good skins, there would be several smaller groups, but they just scatter around and mix together, I do think that every new group of them I add, will be a diffirent color.

The first enclosure i did is this desert one, themed around the Djadochta formation, originally it was just meant to be for the Velociraptors, and was suggested by roger also, but I decided to expand it a bit. To prevent slaughter, the raptors are seperated with the biosyn invisible fence. It's a car tour exhibit.

This is not meant to be like an accurate representation of the environment, more of a generic desert lmfao. So first the raptors. They use skins based on the JP3 ones, since they're my favourite designs in the JP franchise. There's 3 males and 5 females in the pack.

They're also the accurately sized version, so they are smol.

Then there's Oviraptors, the idea is that there's 4 mating pairs, they come from the same mod as the Velos. The males are blue, females have a dominion skin.

They are both within the carnivore and herbivore sections of the exhibit, since they're chill with both, being classified in the game as scavengers.

Moving onto the vegans, we've got Homalocephale's. 14 of them, evenly distributed genders. Males are the green ones.

The fucking creepy ahh udano in the background

Protoceratops, males are browner with these yellowish patterns around the frill, their mod comes with both species and I wanted to use them as gendered variants, but the anatomy diffirences were a bit too big imo. There's 6 females and two males.

Beefing with the tour car

Lastly the Udanos. I don't like their eyes.

The male is the reddish one above.

I like the idea that they like the water in the oasis and sit around in it often. There's only 3.

I was gonna shove Halszkaraptors in there too, but I felt like this one would have had too much going on, I actually saved them for this next enclosure.

@Interstellar Voyager suggested a large crocodillian in a lagoon enclusure, but I decided to make it a land based one instead with a large lake. Since the crocs do have to go on land every once in a while, and the lagoon variant would be constantly swimming.

Since they didn't specify the species, I ended up going with Stomatosuchus, as it's pretty underrated.

They're all diffirent colors and there's even one albino

Try to pretend it's swimming in the lake.

They're classified as a regular carnivore, but I pretend they're fish eaters.

They're actually on the Dimetrodon rig I believe, they're a bit fucky on it .and have some original animations.

You have already noticed the large theropod in the background. I felt like such a large exhibit for only a few crocs is a waste, so I decided to add the Carcharodontosaurus.

There's 3 of them, one male and two gorls, the male is a JPOG colored variant, while the females are more plain.

They're also accurately sized, which is why they may feel a bit small to you, JWE massively oversizes it's carnivores.

In the center, is Halszkaraptor island, with a ot of those guys, that are also meant to be mating pairs. They're chill with the other predators, but I seperated them with an invisible fence so that they don't get spooked and starve themselves.

Males are the orange-ish ones, femaes are the whites.

And that's it for this one ig, keep suggesting, we're also nearing time for the Lagoon and I was thinking the main attraction there would be the Mosasaurus, using it's rebirth design, since that one was pretty good, but there could also be some other, smaller species in there, that you could help decide.

(Okay time for me to make an actual post for once that isn't a WDYLM poll or about a new taxon)

For me, these are the top 10:

10. Ankylosaurus:

(Art by Gabriel N. U.)

This was a touch choice in my opinion, choosing between Ankylosaurus, Carnotaurus, and Parasaurolophus. The (not really) living tank ends up making the top 10.

9. Brachiosaurus:

An iconic sauropod, known for its scene in the og Jurassic Park. Idrk what else to put here for Brachiosaurus. It's definitely more well-known than Ankylosaurus, but not so much with the next one on the list.

8. Giganotosaurus:

A massive carnivore, Giganotosaurus got most of its popularity before 2021 from rivalling T-rex in size. Ever since the release of Jurassic World: Dominion, Giganotosaurus has continued to rapidly rise in popularity. Most people just call it "Gigantosaurus" though, but I'm obviously not putting a random dubious sauropod on this list.

7. Stegosaurus:

(Art by Julio Lacerda)

Dunno what to say here other than that Stegosaurus is iconic herbivore that's known for its dorsal plates and thagomizers. Could be interchangeable with Giganotosaurus in terms of fame. Definitely more recognizable/distinguishable than the latter though.

6. Spinosaurus:

(Art by Andrew McAfee)

Although formerly infamous for its role in the 2001 film, Jurassic Park 3, and its rivalry with T-rex in 2000s to early 2010s internet debates, Spinosaurus has had a resurgence in popularity among non-dinofans in the 2020s. Mainly helped by the constant scientific debates and new research papers published on the animal's anatomy and possible lifestyle, as well as internet memes (maybe Camp Cretaceous too), the popularity of Spinosaurus is still rapidly growing, and will most likely surpass the next one on the list (within the next few years or so).

5. Allosaurus:

Pretty much the default Jurassic carnivore. 100% of paleo enthusiasts know what Allosaurus is, but it just barely fails to make the top 4, since it still has a long way to go before reaching the recognizability the next 4 have for the general public. It's been frequently mentioned and featured in popular media in the past, but its popularity there has died down a little lately. Also known as the "lion of the Jurassic."

4. Triceratops:

Now we're actually getting into the dinosaurs that a good majority of the general public knows about. Known for its 3 horns, Triceratops was pretty much the only dinosaur from Hell Creek known to be definitively capable of killing a healthy adult T-rex. You could point to a picture a Triceratops and nowadays most people could tell you what the genus is, although it's kinda surprising since it's gotten next to zero significant roles in any of the Jurassic Park movies/TV shows.

3. Velociraptor:

(Art by Fred Wierum)

The most iconic non-avian theropod (aside from T-rex) that almost everyone knows about. I put Velociraptor lower than the next two mostly because people just call it "raptor" (which is more of an umbrella term for dromaeosaurs) than its actual genus name. Still, it's an iconic animal to both paleo and non-paleo enthusiasts. Also the Toronto Raptors are named after them (obviously).

2. Brontosaurus:

(Art by Mark Witton)

Pretty much the sauropod. The average joe usually calls every long-necked dinosaur a "Brontosaurus." T-rex and Brontosaurus are the two dinosaur names that everybody knows by default. Those two are leagues above every other dino genus when it comes to fame.

1. Tyrannosaurus:

No explanation needed.

Here's a scene from Jurassic World: Epilogue. It features Velociraptor, Rajasaurus, and Cearadactylus, probs not to scale, just wanted it to look cool.

My grandfather saw the last piece and asked for a "Pterodactyl", so I took the liberty of making Pteranodon sternbergi and Pteranodon longiceps work together to take down Velociraptor. Obviously, more liberties for coolness, like the Geosternbergia lifting up the raptor.

Thoughts?

This paleoart is legitimately from AiG.

So Joel Leineweber created this reconstruction and is literally claiming that Velociraptor was a TRUE BIRD.

This paleoart isn't even that bad. It's just insane that AiG switched from one extreme to the other with the feathered raptor debate. Young Earth Creationists previously would have dismissed any connection between Velociraptor and birds, and now their saying that they ARE birds?!

Leineweber's idea of Velociraptor is a beaked, fully feathered eagle-like creature that could engage in some sort of gliding or flying. It sounds quite terrifying, but still inaccurate.

Horseshoe effect anyone?

Also, guys, no theological arguing. I'm just here to marvel at this extreme interpretation of Velociraptor an the most unlikely of organizations.

Day one

I will draw dromeosaurid which is the most requested in a day.
