SciFi and Fantasy Art: ~SCAVDRAK~

This is an older drawing which I just came across while looking for the original of Gavural. I called this one a Deurhravahras (dreyvahr) and It is a kind of draconic Vulture. They are about the same size as the average velociraptor, but, are almost purely scavengers by nature. In the wild they live in gregarious flocks that send out trackers who find dying or dead animals. If the animal is too large to carry then the tracker will issue an earsplitting, mind numbing, soul killing, warble-like screech. The others will home in on the call from even ten kilometers away! When a large predator brings down something very large often is heard this call. This has earned them the nick-name of 'Death Stalkers'. Their feeding habits are rather revolting as the whole flock greedily converge on any carcass and with in moments there will be nothing left of even very large animals. They will drive Tahrlangosus and swamp-dragons away from their kills. this is getting a bit longer than I wanted--just my world is very complex--a lot of data.

EEEEE! This is really cool! I WANT ONE! Wait... then it would probably... tear me up... into little pieces... errr, nevermind. Great job, as always.

Arv..what?! Any relation to Avantrius? (He's one of my multitude of gryphon characters who likes to thunder-swoop on unsuspecting herds of Geezbok.)...No. The dreavahr won't tear you into little peices. It would much prefer you to be already deceased before dinning on you....most of the time they're fairly docile and unaggressive. As pets they can be quite loyal. Their claws aren't very sharp, neither is their beak, and the few teeth they have are fairly small. So they're not major pouncers. In fact this one is stopped in mid stride and hjis tail has hit the ground as he prepares to consider a hasty escape from a flapping venesian blind...He's cocking his head as he tries to comprehend this strange "Creature".... No offense meant by the moronic crack about your name--I was just being silly for the sake of this reply. Sounds kind of Greek in origins, is It?

*Kee-ya!* Scavenger huh? Maybe I can get him to eat my C- essay that absolutely died. He DOES remind me of those ickies from "Dark Crystal." (I seen it once on the Disney Channel.) @.@

OOOOHHHH! He's sooooo CUUUUUTE! I just wanna grab him and hug him for a couple of hours straight! This is really a great drawing, very realistic looking...like you have the creature for real standing in this adorable pose while you draw it! It really does capture exactly the emotions you say he's having! The head is perfectly angled and the body looks just stiff enough to be tense at the instant. Even the tail looks right, 'cause you can tell its not normally dragged on the ground when he's walking. I think a real dinosaur might look just like this in the same situation! Just beautiful work! PS: I don't think he looks at all like a Skeksis....More like a friendlier Velociraptor, but, NOT a Skeksis!

It looks like a cross 'tween a skeksis and a raptor, with a splash of vulture...you must have an imagination the size of..er..something very big..

Yep, it's Greek ^-^ Dun worry about the last name joke, I'm okay with it.

*agrees with Nams* The shadow is the fully awesomest thing. *o.Os at the way she's talking this afternoon* The shadow is what made me go, "hmm" and click this piccy. :-P I want one! ... *looks at the ground* Err, nevermind. I guess I already have one :-P The critter is cool too :-P hehehe...

It looks real

My attention went not so much to the creature as to the wooden boards behind it! This might sound like a weird comment to give someone who has a gallery full of griffins and stuff, but they are just magnificently drawn! They must've taken you long enough...Incredible job, congrats! Oh yeah, the creature's funky too! xD
22 Feb 2004:-) Uta ´Freawyn´ Hesse
Oh. I don't want to live near them, if the noise is like what you said. All the ones living next to him must be deaf.... though, he looks friendly somehow, otherwise...
