Utahraptor stands in the shallows of the great early Cretaceous inland sea, looking out to the horizon as the sun rises. Utahraptor, though one of the largest dromaeosaurs, was certainly not always taking down large prey in a dramatic and bloody fashion. On this morning, these dromaeosaurs were not hungry enough to hunt, so they combed the beach for shellfish and protein minutiae washed in by the tide. A small flock of ornithocheiroid pterosaurs pass by above.

Considered making this my 'All Yesterdays' entry (a Utahraptor not being a big badass and ripping apart everything in sight? Unheard of) but ultimately decided to do something more original for that.

Commission for an individual customer. Photoshop CS4, 80+ hours.

Beautiful scene! I also wish I could be there ... a beach where there isn't throngs of humans, houses, litter and oil-stained sand ... only a few Utahraptors to be wary of.

What a beautiful scenery. I like to see dinosaurs doing something different then hunting. And wow, more than 80 hours?! :wow: That's crazy! Although it's no wonder considering the level of detail. I especially admire the sea and the foam the waves are making at the beach. I imagine only that took a lot of time studying the references. I admire this piece so much!

You seem to be on a roll of crazy-beautiful digital drawings. 1st "Low-key Magpie", now this. I especially like this 1 for its scenic beauty. I can't help but wonder if the customer had that 1 scene from "Raptor Red" in mind. If so, then thank him/her for me b/c this is even better than what I imagined.

Thanks very much. The customer actually had no guidelines at all about the scene - they merely wanted Utahraptor depicted naturalistically, the rest was up to me. ;) I drew no conscious inspiration from Raptor Red, but I wouldn't doubt that the scene manifested itself in my subconscious!
