Description
The tyrannosauroid Kileskus aristotocus eats a baby mamenchisaurid sauropod. The Middle Jurassic (Bathonian age) of the future Krasnoyarsk region, Russia.

I started this work as a sketch for a challenge with friends, but eventually made a detailed drawing imitating the style of a gel ink pen. I must say that it is more convenient to draw with a real gel pen. But still, this work gave me a good experience. Kileskus was a medium-sized theropod, close to the English Proceratosaurus and the Chinese Guanlong. It is known from a partial maxilla, a piece of the back of the jaw, and several postcranial fragments. Mamenchisaurid sauropods from the Berezovsk coal mine were described in 2019 from isolated teeth and tail vertebrae with characteristic features for this group (link.springer.com/article/10.1… -..). Due to the fragmentary nature of the material, a new taxon was not isolated, but the Krasnoyarsk region mamenchisaurid is important as the northernmost representative of its family.
