Haven’t posted in a while, have a Venatosaurus design I made
With some of the sketches
I really wanted to play around with the paravian anatomy because I feel like most “redesigns” stick too much to the average dromaeosaur paleoart
Love that movie

PoKaijuMon: Vastatosaurus Rex (with Venatosaurus pre-evolution) #monstermarch2023
Recently just deciding to try expressions but with the 2005 skull island creatures. Wanted to add another creature to the upper left but couldn't really think of anything. That and some these guys don't have much references despite the V-rex being one of the most popular
I “recently” hit 2K followers on Instagram and asked my followers what they might want to see sketches of. The following are some of that requests filled out to what I would honestly call more than sketches. Really gotta learn when to stop myself.
Enjoy!
Skull Island Kaiju Redesign #25- Venatosaurus
Hybrid of Venatosaurus and Velocidrome making Venatodrome the Velocidrome Variant!
Dinosaur, Venatosaurus

[The name that The World of Kong gave to the 2005 King Kong’s “raptors”, which is as good as any. After all, there’s no Utah or Dakota in most folks’ Pathfinder games, so Utahraptor or Dakotaraptor would seem weird. Despite the decidedly retro look of the Skull Island raptors, I’ve given my version feathers, because we know dromeosaurs had them. The CR was selected to be equivalent to the Bestiary’s suggestion to make “megaraptors” by giving a deinonychus the giant and advanced templates (and we know that real megaraptors weren’t dromeosaurs). The flavor text is inspired by World of Kong’s take on them as having a wolf-like social heirarchy.]
Dinosaur, Venatosaurus CR 5 N Animal This feathery biped has a long tail and each limb ends in an array of deadly looking claws.
Venatosauruses are sometimes called giant raptors, as they are the largest of the naturally occurring sickle-clawed dinosaurs. A single venatosaurus weighs as much as a grizzly bear and stretches to twenty feet long, and like their smaller kin are sometimes found in packs. Group hunting venatosauruses are often in pursuit of game the size of sauropods, and a venatosaurus pack will use ambushes and terrain to force such massive prey over cliffs and into ravines. When hunting smaller game, a venatosaurus will attempt to pull the prey to ground and then stand over it, buffeting it with its massive wings in order to keep it down until it stops struggling.
Venatosaurus social structure is similar to that of wolves—a single breeding pair directs the movement of the pack, and many of the pack’s members are siblings of multiple generations. Fights for dominance are rare, and when they do occur are more likely to involve posturing and threat displays than direct violence. The young are cared for extensively, with multiple pack members feeding and grooming young chicks. A venatosaurus pack has extensive dietary requirements, so is frequently on the move, ranging over a wide territory.
A venatosaurus animal companion is treated as a typical dinosaur (deinonychus, velociraptor) animal companion.
