Description
I made this life restoration of the little French dromaeosaurid Pyroraptor olympius for Wikipedia out of a suggestion of my Twitter followers, and in the process ended up learning a whole lot about skeletal reconstruction. Being currently busy with so much 3D work I couldn't afford as much time on the details as I would have liked, but it's still good to get something out already.

The anatomy is based on the assumption that Pyroraptor was a fairly ordinary dromaeosaurid, which is currently under debate. I may have to make an unenlagiid version some day. My main inspirations for the coloration were the honey badger and the black-backed jackal, though I'm sure you'll also notice similarities with certain birds.
