Archaeopteryx - Dino of the Week 7

Archaeopteryx, meaning  '"ancient wing". Coming from the Late Jurassic, this dinosaur is most well known for being the transitional between dinosaurs and birds. However, rather they are ancestors to modern birds or just relatives to those ancestors is debated. They still have more features in common with dromaeosaurids and troodontids than to birds. They do have flight feathers but mostly likely they were weak fliers and often glided. They were tiny, the largest species only being comparable to a raven. Archaeopteryx was technically originally described in 1861 from a single fossilized covert feather. In 2011, a study found that the melanosomes in this feather indicated that it was black in coloration. I drew this before I found out, good thing I made the wings a brownish black. I also used ornate hawk eagles and ravens as my bird references.

Quick painting practice with a t-rex. Apparently my reference photo was a t-rex named Titus.

‘Real’ T rex goes on show in England for first time in over a century

The skeleton of Titus, discovered in the US in 2018, makes its world debut at Nottingham museum

Oviraptorid that may have laid teal eggs. Markings based off the green cheek conure.

Bambiraptors. Cute little dromaeosaurs with markings based off of fawns.

I'm trying to get better at making art that actually depicts the animal doing something rather than just standing there. (I say that, one of them is just standing there.

Quick headshot I made of the new Spinosaurus species.

Spinosaurus mirabilis.

Markings loosely based off the great blue heron.

I was not expecting spino of all animals to get a unicorn horn.
