Making a Life size Velociraptor! (Dinosaur Taxidermy #2)

This is the second of four in my series of sculptures from this Summer. Stay tuned for more!

[@jacobcox4565]

Imagine this next to the life-size Protoceratops sculpture Kayakasaurus made.

[@WhizzerStudios]

Wow, you're not the first person to say that! Maybe I'll reach out to him and try to make it happen.

[@Eli-qh8jv]

That would be awesome

[@DerErwinderErwin]

Words can not describe how amazed I am by this. I gotta make my own at some point

[@WhizzerStudios]

Let me see when you do!

[@DerErwinderErwin]

Oh I'm absolutely gonna do that!

[@kaikdozer2112]

Great result. A Velociraptor as it should be in 2022. Completely different from the JP (Deinonychus) baddies . Coherent animal considering all those different materials you used.

[@daviddrollman7681]

Thanks, friend! It's funny, some people say Jurassic Park is "The best and worst thing to happen to popular paleontology." People mostly criticize it for its inaccuracies, but I think we shouldn't forget how much it advanced the public consciousness of dinosaurs. If not for JP, most people wouldn't know about velociraptor OR deinonychus!

[@kaikdozer2112]

I completely agree with you. And "there is no thing like bad publicity' . Even JP's own scientific advisor Jack Horner is trying to (re)create dinosaurs from the DNA of living dino's (chicken!) . kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZoK5iZd7hM52rZo I just finished building the ultimate JP Velociraptor scene: "don't do into the long grass", soon on my channel. A more realistic V. I used earlier.kzbin.info/www/bejne/g6u8ZquMhsagp5I Greetings Bert

this guy is very talented, nice job!

[@StingForest]

Nice...keep sharing how to make faux taxidermy. I like taxidermy...make more video. This one look real and detail. From sarawak Malaysia.

Another YDAW viewer!

[@piotrknap4731]

Soo cool! I like the colors that you give to this dinosaur

[@WhizzerStudios]

Thank you 🤗

[@user-ex9oc9by8z]

your work is awesome!

[@CorChristiCamp]

Sheer genius! Thanks for taking the trouble to make this comprehensive video. Just Wow!

[@MadisonGAMES_MADISON]

The first ever video I've seen with not a jurassic world velociraptor XD

[@user-xu7rb7pf3v]

Awesome job dude. I. love your Velocitaptor concept. The color pattern is amazing.

[@WhizzerStudios]

Thanks a bunch!

Imagine this was in Jurassic world movies

[@lilahc856]

This is really awesome, I'd love to see you do heaps of other dinosaurs.

[@WhizzerStudios]

On the way! ...Eventually.

Damn, that’s really good. You got another subscriber. Can’t wait to see what you do next.

[@considerablycrocodilian1518]

Wow! I just stumbled upon this by accident and I'm gonna share it with all my fellow dinosaur nerds. This is beautiful.

[@WhizzerStudios]

Thank you!

i just subed!

[@ericstevens8744]

This is bad ass crafting right here NEW SUBSCRIBER 👍

[@GarysTandAExotics]

I made an art doll dakota raptor a while back and used the bearded vulture as a template too. Pretty bad ass

[@WhizzerStudios]

I'd love so see a picture of that!

[@GarysTandAExotics]

@@WhizzerStudios i think there is a pic on my instagram

[@andreantunes889]

great!

[@thegodofflorida]

man, you have so many bragging rights because you made this, subbed

[@stonesphixsballer5786]

G.O.A.T!

[@starwarsdoctorwhofan]

Great work! i must admit watching someone else make a velociraptor from scratch is making me realise what i could have done differently when making my own. Id day the only thing that you could have done better with is the feather work though this is only my personal opinion as i think it looks a little bit too chaotic. the head sculpt though is amazing and was defiantly one of the things i struggled with when i made my own, if i had gotten some eyes premade like yours i could have gotten a much better head shape.

[@WhizzerStudios]

Thanks! I look at the tail sometimes and wish the feathers were a little more neat. I cheaped out and cut some feathers in half to spread them out further. Where can I find your velociraptor?

[@AzraelThanatos]

Only thing I could see as a potential improvement would be two swap the paper teeth for something like plasticard. I've been considering upgrading my JP Raptor "taxidermy" thing I did a long time ago...used one of the Halloween masks from 93 and made a form for it, it needs a major repaint

[@WhizzerStudios]

Yeah, I might redo the mouth some time. It's not shown in the video, but I've tried using some construction paper to add some use muscles in the cheeks as well, as those are important. I'd love to see some pictures of yours!

[@princevermilion8799]

@@WhizzerStudios one thing I also have to say is that slit pupils are typically a trait of nocturnal animals, so unless velociraptor is nocturnal it should have round pupils. Still love the work, fantastic!!

[@WhizzerStudios]

@@princevermilion8799 Yeah, I STILL agonize over that decision. Some studies support the idea that it hunted at dawn and dusk, or even nocturnally, based on the size of its sclerotic rings. I was really banking on the idea that it hunted like a cat, I suppose.

[@princevermilion8799]

@@WhizzerStudios fair enough, unless people are just going against the facts take whatever(within reason) artistic choices you want 👍

[@ClearsightAltAccount]

you should create a life size utahraptor :>

[@WhizzerStudios]

I want to! I sketched one out on a whiteboard, and it's... Bigger than I have room for in my house. If I can find a museum that wants one, it's happening!

[@stevencraigs5757]

I love my velociraptors from jurassic park more

[@pigeonpie372]

I’m here before ur popular!!❤

[@AaronaSalazarXDS]

If we make of models of life size we can make museum instead.

[@WhizzerStudios]

Some day...

[@dinosauriastudios]

I have a question: How did you make a moveable lower jaw?

[@fabracoy7945]

Why is it cute?

[@aevrynlavoux317]

I can’t count how many times I said ‘that’s so cool!’ during this video 😃🤩🤯

[@therealquandaledingle13]

A M A Z I N G😊

[@KOcrybaby]

How have I just heard of you😂❤

[@WhizzerStudios]

Haha! Because I post once or twice a year.

[@marcusperez8271]

This is genuinely amazing!! What kind on clay are you using on the face, arms, legs and tail? If its oven bake clay, how does it harden if at all?

[@WhizzerStudios]

Hi! I used DAS air dry clay. I didn't like it as first because it's a bit fibrous to work with, but it takes detail really well when smoothed out with water, resists cracking, and seems to be pretty durable. It's about $12 for a pound. The claws are Super Sculpey.

[@marcusperez8271]

Thanks a lot!

[@lovepeople777]

now make a life sized argentinosaurus

[@WhizzerStudios]

I'm working my way up to it, give me a couple decades!

[@user-ex9oc9by8z]

where did u learn to make this kinder stuff ?

[@WhizzerStudios]

Just bits and pieces I've picked up over the years... but my two greatest sources of inspiration for this project come from two other channels called "Kayakasaurus" and "Gourmet Paper Mache." Check them out!

[@tyrantaleksander7086]

You should meet up with someone called kayakosaurus and bring the raptor because he has a protoceratops!

[@KOcrybaby]

Yes

[@WhizzerStudios]

Haha! No joke, that's exactly what I was thinking when I started this project. I'm just afraid to ask because I'm a pathetically huge fan of his.

[@tyrantaleksander7086]

@@WhizzerStudios don't be shy to ask because kayakosaurus is kind.

[@Abandonedaccount42069]

Argentinosaurus next pls

[@stevencraigs5757]

I made a giant velociraptor plush

[@atanoxel7427]

did u talk to the kayakasaurus yet

Im making a dilo head faux taxidermy it gonna help

[@WhizzerStudios]

No way! I made one right before this. Check out my previous video, and please let me know when you finish yours! It's my favorite.

[@everydaygoth]

Okay hear me out... How do I make one...but squishable? 🥺

Check out TRX Dinosaurs' youtube channel. They make some fantastic raptor puppets out of EVA foam and such.
