Its very well drawn and it looks cool... I think its going to be a big
challenge drawing it/him/you...

Or more like "What in the name of science is it ???" - still with the

<Actually Martin, it's thought by some to be a "missing link" between
<dinosaurs and birds.
Oh. I think I'v seen something about that on the Discovery Channel
once... Interesting subject...
<The fossils were found in a lithographic stone quarry in your country,
<Germany.
WHAT !!! ARE YOU CALLING ME GERMAN !!! I'M DANISH !!!... I don't mind
Germans at all (I even speak the language a little) But the last thing I
am is German... I'm 100% Danish and damn proud of it...
<Here's two artist's renditions of what they might have looked like,
based on
<the fossils.
Hmmm. Nice drawings. And an interesting concept of reptiles turnig into
birdts... Who knows -Maby that IS what happend ??!!
<Hope it all helps you.
It does... =^_^=
<No hurry on the drawing.
As said, I can't prommise how many months it will be untill I can start
drawing it, but its on the list of things to be draw.
<I realize drawing all the feathers will be a pain.
<Any artist who draws avians can attest to that.
I can imagine... Its alot of drawing and its alot of detail...
