"Archie" (Archaeopteryx lithographica) was always one of my favorites.

Seems awfully strange to see an Archaeopteryx look so calm and pigeon-like here.
Normally, people portray them being so frenetic and spastic.

Well, aren't modern bird of preys usually look very calm (although not pigeon-like). ;)

Archie did not have a fully reversed hallux as often depicted by artists, feet was kind of dromie like.

Depends on their mood, and whether or not food is involved.

It's great to see Archaeopteryx in such a new way. As avanca said, they're using so frantic and wild looking. Here it looks more like a bird than a screeching dinosaur. The pattern on its feathers is great, too. Well done :)

I second (and third) the sentiments as to Archaeopteryx as a sedate bird. :)
The color scheme works well too, reminds me of some forest hawk.

Beautiful archaeopteryx. :) Love the colors it makes it look so realistic.
