2. Focus on the Raptor: Make the Velociraptor the center of attention by using slightly more vibrant or contrasting colors on its body compared to the jungle.
3. Create Depth: Color the foreground grass in darker, richer greens and use lighter, softer greens for background foliage to create a sense of distance.
