The ceratopsians really caught my eye.

I'm visiting this thread far too late, but I want to say I am positively delighted by all your work; you've really nailed down a couple of styles and the results are dreamy. As an aspiring (but horribly absent-minded) artist myself, scrolling through work like this helps get my gears going to get on ball again myself!

Punk Velociraptor Skull. This and the previous painting were both made for a flea market sale organized during popular rock festival. No one bought them, unfortunely.

Wow! These look fantastic!

Unfortunate about the Punk Rock Velociraptors. They look nice!

BOTM Medusaceratops. The painting is done with metallic paints, so it's shiny, just like the figure.

I hope you don't mind, but I have some thoughts:
-1 Velociraptor looks slightly bigger than the other. Is it actually bigger or just puffing up its feathers? If the former, is it the male? I ask b/c eudromaeosaurs were basically "terrestrial hawks" in terms of ecology/behavior ( https://qilong.wordpress.com/2011/12/19/dromaeosaurs-are-terrestrial-hawks/ ), & so it'd make more sense for females to be at least slightly "stronger, larger, and more dominant than males" ( https://books.google.com/books?id=hTTUBAAAQBAJ&pg=PA6&dq=%22are+more+stork-like%22 ).
-Correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks like your Velociraptor have lacrimal horns instead of supraorbital membranes ( https://www.deviantart.com/osmatar/art/How-I-think-deinonychosaur-eye-sockets-work-488294744 ). Last I checked, the latter are better supported (hence why PhP's Velociraptor have them: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/YKQPJY ).
-The baby looks more like a baby-sized adult (https://www.researchgate.net/publication/320543525_Positive_allometry_for_exaggerated_structures_in_the_ceratopsian_dinosaur_Protoceratops_andrewsi_supports_socio-sexual_signaling ).
