Art Fight mass attack, featuring my favourite clade of dinosaurs. This was a lot of fun to work on, oviraptorosaurs are always so fun to draw.

Epichirostenotes is a fairly unknown oviraptorosaurian from the Campanian age of the Late Cretaceous, about 72 million years ago. It was found in the Horseshoe Canyon Formation in Alberta, Canada. It is known from a scattering of bones. It was originally thought to be Chirostenotes but it was later given its own genus. It probably had the crest, feathers, and diet of other oviraptorosaurs.
