Lighter feathered raptor is getting his back feathers

 

Minimally feathered raptor is getting a head and tail crest

I love the one with the crest and the elaborate tail.

Great job so far!

 

[Sirithiliel 69483]

Light feathers got more on his tail, and minimalist got a row of feathers down his back 

[Sirithiliel 69483]

Started a new heavy feather raptor, he looks much better compared to my very first raptor 

 

I think I will paint up the first one, and keep this one unpainted as my class example mini of heavy feather modifications 

[Sirithiliel 69483]

The squad so far. Two heavy feathers complete with wings, one crested light feathered with fan tail and two minimalist feathered, one with crest on head and tail 

[Glitterwolf 204581]

My favorites are the ones with the heavy feather job followed by the one on the left with the crest.

Is there a reason you went with different feather varieties for your raptor pack?

because during ReaperCon i'm going to be teaching a class on modifying dino minis / painting dino minis, and i figured it'd be good to have a variety to show what people can do in regards to feathering raptors

That makes perfect sense.

[Sirithiliel 69483]

i know the feathers are not as good as the professionals can do, but i think i can confidently teach people new to sculpting how to do them in a hour time frame. It's a very easy, simple process to get basic feathers like that

[Sirithiliel 69483]

Made a few adjustments and additions.

Despite me being so much worse that I feel guilty commenting about things like this, the joints around the hips/shoulders and the torso look a bit too separate, like action figure limbs. I imagine you're planning on adding some transition pieces, but I thought it best to bring it up.

[Sirithiliel 69483]

i do plan to, yes
