This is one of my favourite scenes from my story, Project TL, taking place circa around the beginning of book 2. Both characters were having a terrible week for extremely different reasons and this was the culmination of it!
Featured in the drawing are William (Liam, protagonist, the guy) having a bad not so good overall terrible day and Teryel (Teri, love interest, as a dino) using his Utahraptor form to improve the situation.
This scene. Is the reason. I have seven-ish books instead of two!
(scene description & fun facts below)
They could have gotten together sooner but Teri had the BRILLIANT idea to sit on Liam. His dino brain went "wet kitten... must warm up!" and unfortunately for Liam that led to... this. Did I also mention that Liam at this point had no idea Teri could shapeshift thanks to his little magic item? Because he didn't, so in his pov a giant friggin beast just gave chase and decided to nest on top of him. Utahraptors were estimated to weight around 500 kg so good luck getting away from the bear sized bird intent on pinning you down...
The title refers to both the weight situation and the fact that, after this happened, the possibility of romance is crushed... at least until later in their lives :D
Mmm other fun facts about this drawing...
I has a LOT of fun doing the rain effect. I added more rain after posting the snippet, and it improved the scene a lot. The blurring serves the same purpose, making it easier to focus on the characters. And the rocks, man! Generally, the background was a pleasure to work on.
The characters themselves came out after a bit of a struggle to decide the pose. I made a collage from screenshots of videogames and random photos to use as reference, which was essential. I should really find some time to do studies/sketches on anatomy and poses at some point... Uni takes so much time though. It's also why I finished this drawing AFTER Valentine's Day.
The Utahraptor's tail was not forgotten: generally, tail stiffness in dromeosaurs is very hard to determine but from my understanding it seems like Utahraptors had at least some stiffness in their tails. Most references I found have it completely straight or very mildly curved to the side when the dino lays down. From the front, like here, it's not very visible either way. Which is a shame! The fanned feathers on the tail would have been a great addition, but it came to a choice between pretty tail and clear pose. Couldn't pass on drawing Liam clawing the ground, sorry tail!
Speaking of, we got full name reveals! I usually just call them Liam and Teri, although technically they are William and Teryel. So far I've also referred to them as protagonist and love interest. The books are from the point of view of both though, so maybe they're just... both protagonists? In their own way?
Liam's face was initially shown but I liked more the idea of leaving it hidden so it was changed. And maaaaybe I am still holding back the actual face reveal... Kinda feel bad for Liam here. I'd like to do a proper face reveal when he's looking more like the cool sunny guy he is and less like a wet kitten covered in mud. Meanwhile, Teri looks waaaay more competent and confident that usual, but don't let it fool yah: it's the bird brain taking over. He's NOT going be forgiven for sitting on Liam anytime soon, the man has pride and this is a HUGE slight.
Lastly, I LOVE doing layouts and working with shapes. The idea to frame the drawing by using a circle was immediate, and I made some plants poke out of the frame to give it some uniqueness. Titles are written by hand with love (and little hearts instead of dots), they were a last minute addition. It felt a bit empty to have just the drawing by itself. Now, with the titles, it looks way more polished in my opinion.
Many thanks to @a-dinosaur-a-day for the 2026 Draw Dinos Daily thing and for putting Utahraptor on Valentine's Day. It really inspired me to finally draw this scene!

Freya wields an orb in combat and rules the element of water. She is an Eternal chosen by Shilen, the Goddess of Death.
I am looking for floor plans/layouts of dwelligs to use as reference for Project TL and FFS I keep getting the same 4 images from a scientific paper I already know!!!
Bruh. I know there's a main house and a store house. But how many rooms are in there? How many floors? Where are the doors/stairs at? What is the purpose of a flower tower? How does it actually look like? How many people can live in this layout? Tell meeeeee
Pros of having a job: "wow I can make Liam's future Paperwork sound realistic! Get that government money babes, just gotta submit 10 forms and wait 5 years!"

Without making any spoilers, I am cackling at one of the characters because they would 100% have a Dead Wife Montage of their partner going in their head, to the tune of "Time Machine" by Jason Chen.
Like, I cannot express how exxageratedly dramatic the montage would be. Buddy the issue it's not that deeep take a breath. It'll be fiiine. They're literally downstairs, smh.
Update on the drawing: it's being worked on! Decided to go for the project TL scene with the Utahraptor form. Still for the february 14th prompt of the 2026 Draw Dinos Daily thing, but I'll finish it as soon as uni gives me a break. Priorities, ugh.
Speaking of drawing, gosh I am RUSTY DUSTY. Might need a refresher on the basics. Took me so long to draw/collage a pose that was decent!
On the plus side, seeing this scene "come to life" in some capacity is making me soooo giddy! Also rocks came out first try, which has historically NEVER happened to me before. Gneiss!
Bets are open to guess what's happening and how it happened :D
(Ye-ye-ye-yeah I know how it might look, but it's not THAT. Think funnier stuff).
