This is a 'Character Of The Week' entry for round 139 on conceptart.org
"ROUND #139 :: Jiao-Long, Velociraptor DESCRIPTION Jiao-Long is no ordinary pet. Found deep in the jungles of a far off land, the all-powerful Emperor had the great beast brought to the Forbidden City as both a prize for China, and as a symbol of greatness to his people. Jiao-Long is a velociraptor, a vicious predator made half-tame by numerous handlers and a life-time of pampering. He is the last of his kind - a bizarre accident - somehow millions of years from where science expected him to be. He is fed only the freshest food, and the rarest - baboons, tigers, elephant, brought from all over the world. He has presents lavished upon him both by the Emperor himself, as well as all who wish to please the emperor. Though he has been known to kill handlers when he is displeased, he shows a remarkable amount of intelligence and cunning, and the Emperor lists him among his 'most cherished advisers'. Whether this is true, remains to be seen. He is, however, revered at almost an iconic status - seen as being kin to the dragons of legend and the ultimate symbol of the Ming Dynasty's Power." So velociraptors, as ancient ancestors of birds, were probably feathered. I see Jiao-as a spoilt, pampered pet, lazy, plump and vain. His consort is a chicken; spot the chicktors. Daily DeviationGiven 2009-04-14Jiao-Long by ~Nicoll Wow... You know this is probably one of the most interesting Anthros I've seen in a long while. I absolutely adore the lighting; and the rays of sunlight are really eye catching! The subject is overflowing with such a vibrant and quirky nature. Beautiful Work!

Ah, no, bad idea.
Perhaps it's safest on the other side of the planet.
