Back in the forest, Alfur is still on the search for Hilda, and this Zalmoxes' parent. But now, as he travels deeper into the forest, he must evade a pair of hunting Hesperonychus

Another dinosaur pencil drawing that I've been working on very slowly for a very long time. A pair of Hesperonychus watch over their trio of awkward, half-naked and half-fluffy nestling chicks. Inspired by this beautiful photo: https://www.flickr.com/photos/johnfish/6889558970

I have been trying to find good models for Hesperonychus, but it’s a heavily underrated dromaeosaur. Do you have any good pictures of it for reference?

Unfortunately, we don’t really know much about Hesperonychus itself, since it’s only known from a partial pelvic girdle. However, we do know that it was a microraptorine, and in Longrich and Currie’s 2009 description they concluded that Hesperonychus was likely closest to Sinornithosaurus in terms of appearance. As such, I’d suggest using Scott Hartman’s Sinornithosaurus skeletal as a reference:

Hesper doing some rockhopping.

I honestly thought that I'd already posted this ages ago, must be losing my marbles. Better late than never I guess.
