Maybe too small for Quetz but tiny little Avisaurus shouldn't be a problem, or at least that's how I see it. Oh well, a man can dream.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03105253207226539278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-140938929136406282.post-75740080791325711802016-05-29T10:44:24.943-04:002016-05-29T10:44:24.943-04:00You should definitely reach out to Dave Silva, the...You should definitely reach out to Dave Silva, the artist behind the BotM series.

We also can't be entirely sure if the wing feathers were closed-vaned as often shown, or more open-vaned plumes like ostrich wing feathers.Matt Martyniukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04220900229537564466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-140938929136406282.post-34494719877255150122016-05-29T08:20:36.456-04:002016-05-29T08:20:36.456-04:00Doesn't Dakotaraptor preserve large quill knob...Doesn't Dakotaraptor preserve large quill knobs?

I did notice in a FB post shortly after I wrote this that the Dakotaraptor looks refreshingly Zhenyuanlong/Archaeopteryx like in terms of feathering. Of course, we still don't have any direct evidence for feather layout in giant-size pennaraptorans...Matt Martyniukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04220900229537564466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-140938929136406282.post-71479537924353741902016-05-29T05:51:00.075-04:002016-05-29T05:51:00.075-04:00I don't even know the latest word on whether A...I don't even know the latest word on whether Avisaurus is in the game or not, I just think this would be epic. Alternately, some kind of mini-game where you have to survive x amount of time as a presbyorithid. I'm thinking "Duck, Duck, Dakotaraptor".

On this subject, interestingly, you can directly see the effect Zhenyuanlong has had by comparing Saurian's Acheroraptor (designed before Z.'s publication) to it's Dakotaraptor (designed after Zhenyuanlong)!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10558252320249112573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-140938929136406282.post-73819620005594209232016-05-28T23:35:23.785-04:002016-05-28T23:35:23.785-04:00At last, someone else supports playable Avisaurus!...At last, someone else supports playable <i>Avisaurus</i>!Albertonykushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00345306530772709064noreply@blogger.com
