(Old 2006) Strung Tightly

This was a very early drawing of Sigma. Drawn in 2006, converted to digital in 2008 and then tweaked a little more over the coming years, it was one of my first insights into digital shading. He looks really smooth.

It was also my first little experiment into raptor flexibility. Since raptors have long legs and short arms, a hog-tied raptor has bent legs and arms pulled straight, and leaving their haunches quite exposed! Well, can't complain, in more ways than one There just isn't enough raptor bondage in the world, but one more now...

Many thanks to ChrisSawyerArt because I used some of his dino artwork to work out the anatomy correctly, but the pose is unique I've had a lot of fun over time with raptor friends in RPs, putting them into this bind and watching them hop along, then of course having the favour returned.
