Description

So, here are the first results of the Dinovember 2019 challenge (my first challenge ever, by the way).

Day 1. Hadrosauroidea: portrait of Parasaurolophus cyrtocristatus. Parasaurolophus has been one of the favorite hadrosaurs since childhood. I decided to choose a less "stereotypical" look.

Day 2. Alvarezsauroidea: most recently described Nemegtonykus citus, described from two specimens, shedding light on the diversity of alvarezsaurs of the Nemegtskaya Svita.

Day 3. Deinonychosauria: unenlagiine Buitreraptor gonzalezorum, swallowing a small specimen of the primitive snake Najash. The very long snout and extremely small unserrated teeth indicate a diet consisting of small and dodgy animals.

Day 4. Therizinosauria: the early Cretaceous Jianchangosaurus yixianensis runs through shallow water. One of the most primitive therizinosaurs, Jianchangosaurus is the most cursorially adapted in its clade, having a tibia noticeably longer than the femur.

Day 5. Dilophosauridae: portrait of Dracovenator regenti, a South African relative of the famous Dilophosaurus.

Day 6. Compsognathidae: Compsognathus longipes, exhibiting cannibalism towards the young of its species. I don't remember anyone portraying compsognathid as cannibals, so this would be an original representation of a unoriginal taxon.

Next up is the next batch of drawings for the challenge. #Dinovember #DrawDinovember #Dinovember2019
