Lunch with animatronic dinosaurs at London's Natural History museum. Around 10 years ago, my Mom ate the worst sandwich of her life at this place and we still joke about it. Hopefully the cooking standards have evolved since then!

Non-avian dinosaurs should still be alive because I want to see what those Victorian dog breeder freaks would have done to the velociraptor

The Raptor: Full body design
Yay, I finnaly drew my ml oc after two fan fics of vauge descriptions that contradict each other because I couldn't think of an outfit. And yes, drawing hands killed me. Yes, he is barefoot in the first picture and I didn't draw feet because I didn't want to die again.
Timothy Césaire's backstory (again):
Alya's cousin from New York City, Timothy Césaire used to be a normal, not so mild-manner middle school student who's only concern was getting good grades and dealing with bullies. But his life would change permanently after getting an intership at Hill incorporated; the cover for Majestia's laboratory. As fate would have it, Timothy's job for his first day to observe a resurrected, radioactive Velociraptor. However, one of the scientists left it's cage open on accident, which lead to the creature escaping it's enclosure and biting Timothy. Eventually, Timothy realized that the event had given him a superpower, the ability to move so fast that the world around him slowed down. This motivated him to create the persona of The Raptor, a new super hero who would help the helpless. At first, the United Heroez tolerated his presence and even encouraged him to join him. But everything changed when the Raptor stole from Audrey Bourgeois; He left a calling card in her house that claimed she had stolen designs from unpaid interns and that he would make her pay. Even with all the money and power in NYC, Audrey was powerless to stop the Raptor from stealing thousands of dollars worth in money... and secretly giving it to the poor. From that point onward, The Raptor was officially known as as a super villain. But it wasn't the end for Timothy. Its just the begginng of the end for the powerful in New York.
Wanna know some fun facts about Tim?
Design backstory
I'll start with Tim's civilian outfit, it's just a color swapped version of Alya's outfit.
Now that that's out of the way:
My original idea (that I never drew) of the Raptor's design was going to be something like tuxedo mask with a hoodie and long feathers on his arms instead of a cape.
Then Argos stole his look
So when I wrote Funk Up The Night, I thought up a different outfit that would look waaay different from Felix; something like what a Victorian era working class person would wear to contrast Timothy from the 2(+ Felix) super villains dressed like aristocrats. The design would have baggy clothing with a newsboys hat instead of a hood and a tattered blue neck tie that would be like the main attention grabber of the design.
I ended up keeping the the neck tie part for this one, but I swapped the cap out for a visor (that can go through Timothy's hair without destroying it lol)
Anyway, I wanted to do base this design off of something from Martinican culture as I headcanon Alya (& Tim) as being born from there and moving to France (/U.S.).
It was there that I encountered the Neg Gwo Siwo, a Martinican carnival character covered in black that's a symbol of rebellion against oppression.
What a coincidence that I already imagined Timothy as having a mostly dark design!
So I used dark blue skin to blend in with Tim's black clothes (actually a really dark shade of green).
I added some gold bands with hints of red and green
And done!
I made a good design with bad anatomy because I don't understand arms lol

HERE YE HERE YE!!!! After too long of neglect because life, work, and everything in between, I am finally in the process of making prints of my Victorian Velociraptor with Violets! I honestly still can’t believe that this piece has gotten so much attention and I thank you all sooo much for your support and your patience with all this.
I should be getting a proof of the print sometime this week for quality inspection. I don’t want to half-ass it. I am looking into having it printed on archival artist paper.
Each print will be signed by me, as shown in the example. I have seen some copycats making their own versions of this, so I thought that I’d jump in on this and provide the real thing to you all. Once I get my first 50 prints, I will share with you the link to my online store!!

Inktober Day 18: the private detective, Sylvia Creed-Morton, from a Fate campaign I helped run a while back. I would like to point out that she wasn't a raptor when the campaign started.

This is probably one of the weirder commission I have received, but it sure was fun to work on!
