Four offerings from me this week. Two (intentionally) less-than-accurate creations for my next book, plus a just-for-fun moon-gazing Deinonychus, and a quick study of Wales “newest” dinosaur, Pendraco milnerae.

For some from 2016: the azhdarchid that would eventually become Cryodrakon is scavenged by a variety of dinosaurs and pterosaurs. I should do top-down views more often, they're fun to execute and interesting to look at.
