Well, hello there! I just registered today to the forum and hope that I am doing this right xD I actually joined the forum to participate in the Diorama Contest but I also hope to meet some nice people around here and just talk about prehistoric related subjects. I'll just see how it goes.

So onto my first post here, that's a repaint I've done lately on the Safari LTD Velociraptor. I really love the sculpt on it and actually liked the original colors too. But unfortunately on mine the eyes and white spots were painted sloppy. So I just decided to make a repaint.
So yeah, Feel free to tell me what y'all think bout it, if you like it or not and what I could do better! See ya around soon!

I love it, it's so organic and neat, and really shows up the details! It looks pretty menacing 😊 Great shots, too!

I think it looks good - that is an appealing colour scheme.

Welcome to the forum, avatar_Gwyndor @Gwyndor!  I really like your Safari Velociraptor repaint!  You've made the new colouration work very well on it.  I feel much like you about this figure.  I love its sculpt, and I like its original colouration too.  The photos you've posted look realistic and appealing.  I've enjoyed looking at them.  Thanks for showing them!

Oho yes, this is what I was waiting for. Good stuff.

We need more repaints of Safari's newer feathered stars. Their safari paintjobs do their sculpts no justice.

Nice work!

Very nice repaint! I already liked the colour-scheme on the original model, but this is definitely on par!

Cool! I planning on getting Safaris Anzu Figure and repaint it in "Saurian"Style. I really adore the colors for the male

I'm a bit late on this but here goes a critical critique. Overall I would give this a good 9/10. The base colors look good, so definitely a good pro.  As for the head the color is very bold and has a nice contrast with the base but still is not so bright or overwhelming that it is not overwhelming, again a plus. As with the throat, no complaints. The red-orange with black dots looks good, bold but not overwhelming. Now with the body is where my real complaints are, while the flat black-grey looks fine, but what would be possibly better is to make some feathers brown and maybe adding a few white dots, somewhat like a deer, reflecting how light falls on the animal and giving it more camouflage. So overall, its a good re-paint!

She's beautiful! The contrast between the bright head and the dull body reminds me a lot of some parrots.
