Gary would make a great returning guest! Seeing you two sharing stories and approaches is so wonderful!

"There was just a perfectly preserved cloaca" is definitely the best thing I've ever heard either in or out of context.

[donniemontoya]

The dinosaur cloaca/snake poo tangent was extremely necessary to the competition of the project. I'm glad it was covered in depth.

[PrincessPonies]

the band on the raptor's muzzle is so amusing to me because it really makes it feel more like a real animal. its like when crocodilians have their jaws banded/taped for safety. yeah this is just Adam's casual pet raptor. yeah she has her muzzle banded so that she doesn't bite anyone. as you do.

[sabotower]

I absolutely love how, after the several minutes of dino poop and cloaca talk, they both just turn back to their printouts and move right back into talking about painting like nothing's occurred

[ChaitanyaSrikar]

Only channel where i would watch two people sitting and colouring a dinosaur picture for 20 mins straight!

[JamesTyrrellOnline]

You totally need a speaker mounted in the throat to make raptor sounds, this thing is a labor of love and looks just amazing!

[bitghost]

The painting difference between Adam and Gary on the first coat is so funny. You can see Gary is being a little light and more specific to get some detail and texture, and Adam is just SOAKING it lmao.

[timchamberlain]

Gary Staab just oozing knowledge this entire video...I would love to watch more from him or other collabs with similar experts!

[samtappendorf]

The glee coming off both of you is absolutely infectious.

[WalnutandSteel]

the way that head moves from side to side is so realistic! totally awesome!

[hraefn]

The best collabs are when you can see mutual fun / enjoyment as well as both parties walking away with newly acquired knowledge courtesy of the other person. It's so endearing and inspiring to witness.

[jacg]

The anticipation while viewing was visceral. Equal parts ‘soak in the process’ and ‘get me to the reveal!’

[HMFan]

This gives you an idea of how difficult it is to re-create nature in all its variety and fine detail. Can you imagine breaking into Adam’s shop by accident and coming eye to eye with this thing? That looks so great!

[hegga_nm]

After all the cloaca talk when you guys turned and faced the dino's butt, I couldn't but imagine the raptor giving birth to Adam, like the Jim Carrey in the rhino scene in Ace Ventura 2. 🤣

[jaywhy]

I love these videos - it was worth waiting years for, and I hope they are drawn out for 6 more episodes. I'm enjoying them that much. (Probably shooting myself in the foot here and this is the last episode... but the sentiment stands.)

[CanadiansInCarsGettingCocky]

That's a sick "Desert Raptor"

[Comfie]

I love the random stories and conversations they have, they're so excited about their interests

[eugenio]

for some reason, I absolutely relate to two people spending hours discussing the correct anatomy of a dinosaur

[thesilverdragon]

Husband called and asked what I did for lunch—my reply “I watched two guys paint a dinosaur for 30 minutes”.😂
