Description I'm surprised that it seems like nobody's done this before.  Here's a scene from early Late Cretaceous (86-84 Ma) Mongolia.  A curious young Oviraptor encounters something she's never seen before: a stray Pteranodon flapling, blown astray from Canada by a storm.  Major differences from the original character designs include: Petrie's wings actually have bones in them (they're not just a cape) and he's quadrupedal on the ground; Ruby is fully feathered and winged, and her pennaceous feathers are in logical places, ie wings and tail and not randomly on her back and neck.

This is the first of three paintings I'm planning to do, the other two being Spike and Littlefoot together (Late Jurassic Morrison formation); and Ducky, Chomper, and Cera together (Late Cretaceous Hell Creek formation).
