Here's the in question: the science of 2020 vs. my speculation of 2016. (And yes, the updates are a little more substantial than just a reskinning, 4 years is a long time to practise painting.)

Some new for my take on Yutyrannus published in entirety for the first time this week. It was created for LTTAII, but that's coming out soon enough to let the covers slip a little on the art. A short thread about this image...

This is a big deal because, in > 200 years of research, we've never had any hints about how non-pterodactyloids walked. All trackways known to date belong to pterodactyloids: short-tailed, long-armed pterosaurs of Late Jurassic and Cretaceous age. (Walking azhdarchids pictured)
