Type
3D model:
Raptor MkII |

The Idea:
This was the first Dinosaur I converted to a mechanoid.
Though its supposed to be based on the Oviraptor,
I've kept it 'dinosaur' looking rather than strictly
design it on the basis of Oviraptor. |

The
Inspiration:
Dinosaurs in general. Its somewhere
a cross between Iguandon and a Raptor/ Oviraptor. |

The Treatment:
Wanted to portray a herbivore dinosaur, but
with a raptor feel. It was to look like an industrial
machine which had been re-engineered to serve
military purpose. Put in a gunner cupola on its
back. Reminiscent of WWII bombers. The tail unit
contains the fuel in conjoined canisters, which
also helps balance the craft.
Also the design has to reflect the philosophy
of the Military thinkers. It was designed so that
while the pilot would have maximum exposure, and
thus was at maximum risk, it also offered them
a better view of the battlefield and brought down
the response time (much like the philosophy the
Israelis used while designing their Merkava battle
tank). |
