since the next asset file is taking a little bit of time (and I'm partially busy with dinosaur sunday coming up) and it's been quite a while since my last post....
I decided to showcase an interesting thought I had in my head...

which started out as a Question....
if HYPOTHETICALLY SPEAKING, JW3 were to have a feathery variant of their "Velociraptor antrrhopus" what could you imagine it looking like?
and what sort of stories could you imagine with them?
I myself wondered at that, since as I stated this journal, there are indeed a few ways they could go about this
-www.deviantart.com/taliesaurus…

So I drew up a possible idea for a feathery raptor character that could work in the world that the jurassic franchise is setting up.
where genetic power is open-source and dinosaurs are everywhere.
I hope you like him....

I call him "Grendel".
(though I did consider calling him Scar/Brutus/Lucifer etc)

and he's a model called "VRA-06-Alpha"
otherwise known as a "B.R.U.T.U.S raptor" (I don't know what to make that short for sorry.)
made with the intention of "perfecting" ingen's de-extinction method by introducing a bit more avian DNA into the system. Specially that of a vulture and an ostrich.

and he's a variant of raptor illegally produced by a rival genetics company (maybe biosyn, who knows) and raised in conditions that are VERY similar to the original raptors in the first film.
(kept in cramped conditions, poor parental care, just like, the big one, the indominus and the indoraptor etc)
he was subject to many forms of lab-testing, the stress of which caused him to pull feathers out of his arms, tail and flanks

"GENETIC FAULTS"
though he has feathers, due to his genetic makeup, he's still not a "pure" dinosaur, he still has specific differences to his ancestor....such as...

-His sickle claws are much longer and more more talon like than what a normal raptor (like deinonychus/"velociraptor atrrhopus") would have. This gives him a needle-like prediction when killing his prey by slicing their throat or belly.
-he doesn't have feathers covering his head. (side effect of vulture DNA.) Nor his underside (ostrich DNA)
-he did have a SMALL fan of tail-feathers, but he chewed them off in his stress (as mentioned before)
-In terms of size he is slightly bigger than blue (making him almost utahraptor/dakotaraptor sized, but still much smaller than ripper. (specially i mean somewhere around 7.6 feet tall and almost 6.7 metres long)
-and of course, his hands are still pronated.

BREEDING PURPOSE: lab-testing, cage-fighting and testing potential for a possible support unit (mainly in the police force).
as well as trying to "perfect" ingen's de-extinction method, it's been bred mainly as a cage-fighting, where people places bets on dinosaurs to who wins and who gets their throat ripped open. Some researchers also attempted to test it's military applications, subjecting it to EXTREME trauma, just to test it's pain-tolerance.

the idea is that if they are hoping to make an animal with an EXTREMELY high pain-tolerance that could potential work as a replacement for police dogs in some very hostile areas.
unfortunately, for now, they are merely testing hostile behaviour and pain-tolerance so they don't treat this breed of raptor very well.

so... what do you lot think?

and if YOU could imagine a feathery raptor that could fit into the jurassic universe...
WHAT WOULD YOU IMAGINE A JW3 RAPTOR TO LOOK LIKE?
WHAT WOULD BE YOUR STORY BEHIND IT?

FUN-DETAIL: as you can see, he also is COVERED in scars from cage-fights with other dinosaurs, non-lethal bullet wounds, and plucked feathers (from the extreme stress that inflicts him). clearly, this poor guy had a VERY rough life.
