Making Lip of It
I'm going out on a limb and posting my (sometimes) controversial opinion in
regards to that perennial problem of dinosaur lips. In this, I will temporarily
gush over Larry Witmer's biology work while at the same time taking an aim at a
cherished childhood icon, "Crash" McCreery's "velociraptors" from _Jurassic
Park_. The conclusions are anything but, but I had a lot of fun making the art.
Check it out at my blog, or follow the direct link:
http://qilong.wordpress.com/2011/09/18/making-lip-of-it/ . At over 3,500 words,
it's my largest single piece written exclusively online, and represents the
culmination of a few lines of data regarding jaw structure and soft-tissue
analogies. As I state in the post, I'm an amateur and would appreciate positive
criticism.
Cheers,

different language and a new way of looking at things, the human race
has had a dream: to kill him, so we don't have to learn his language or
his new way of looking at things." --- Zapp Brannigan (Beast With a Billion
