Description Yes, I'm still around...just very busy and haven't had a lot of time for paleoart lately. But this is a good way to kick off Dinovember!

I had this drawing sitting as a WIP for well over a year. Decided to finish it today, albeit not to the best of my ability as I've lost inspiration for it. Therefore the background is pretty rushed as is some of the shading.

At the time I was going to call this just an unspecified Megaraptorid, but recently a new species has been found in Victoria, Australia:
www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/1…   <-- Link to scientific journal.
www.cnet.com/news/scientists-u…  <-- Link to news article.

As a result of that, I'll be calling this the megaraptorid from Victoria, Australia. Whether this is really the taxon Australovenator wintonensis that managed to survive for another 10 million years, and changed its geographic range, is unclear. 

Hope you enjoy.
