Watercolor and pencil illustration of a juvenile Austriadactylus enthused for the discovery of a damselfly, while ants and a roly poly go on with their business in late triassic Austria.
I tried to be as precise as possible (while keeping a cute/cartoony style) in the reconstruction of this critter and took large inspiration from Fabrizio De Rossi's illustration on Pteros.com, adding only some little stripes to show its juvenile coat. I'm not sure about the environment and wether or not rolypolys were a thing... I read that plants in late Triassic were mainly conifers, and specificaly I tried to draw Aethophyllum stipulare, an herbaceous conifer plant. I am not a naturalist tho, just an amateur, so if you have any criticism I'll gladly take it!
