Description
I've been doing a fair amount of sketching over the last couple of days experimenting with speculative integument on various dinosaur groups. These are some of the better outcomes.Top left: Gorgosaurus libratus sporting some nice ratite inspired plumage complete with EBFFs as on some undescribed tyrannosauroids, scaly under-tail as on Tyrannosaurus rex and Juravenator starki and some hefty areas of naked or sparsely scaled skin as on G. libratus itself. This was traced over a skeletal by Scott Hartman, so all credit goes to him for that.
Top right: A Velociraptor mongoliensis with tinamou inspired feathers in the general dromaeosaur arrangement. Pretty bland but the sketch looks nice anyway.
Bottom left: "Raptorex kriegsteini" aka Tarbosaurus bub showing a full coat of fluffy baby down.
Bottom right: Dilophosaurus wetherilli with speculative primitive proto-EBFF filaments. This is my own idea and not supported by any fossil evidence. Inspired by an eagle hatchling with similar looking integument.
