Artist's Comments

This is the fifth in my series of feathered dinosaur illustrations for mine and *Agahnim's upcoming book on evolution, Sinornithosaurus millenii. If you haven't seen them already, please take a look at the previous four: Jinfengopteryx, Microraptor, Archaeopteryx, and Velociraptor.

This animal was a feathered dromaeosaurid from the early Cretaceous of China. It is very similar to Velociraptor, though of around half its size, and is known from two fossils, both of which preserve a full covering of feather impressions.

It is perhaps most famous to the general public through the NGMC-91 specimen, a juvenile dubbed "Dave", which is exquisitely preserved.

Thanks again to *Agahnim and the Gondolendians for their anatomy critiques and discussion.

Oil on canvas.
