Dino Fact!
Alectrosaurus (Alone Lizard) is a tyrannosauroid from Late Cretaceous Asia! Also occasionally translated to "Mateless Lizard" or "Unmarried Lizard," its name refers to how it was very different from any other Asian theropod known - (1/2)

My memory theropods aren't that far off. This means I should draw some more ornithischians from memory and see how wrong I can truly be.
@AntaaBaaaka This redesign by Owen Kellen works great for me. Love how his chest, necks and wings light up like stars. The legs are weirder-looking, less blatantly theropod. The wings are really alien too it’s a cool reimagining of the classic fan wings instead of the generic bat ones we got
Something kinda funny about having grown up at the height of “this giant theropod is bigger than T.rex,” only to have the majority of studies/estimates sink that idea and now T.rex is as large as, if not more massive than, it’s fellow megatheropods later in life.
Meet the common wyvern, an omnivorous dog sized flying non-tetanuran theropod, all Wyverns are venomous which is often uses to kill prey in a more monitor lizard way, they have keratin supports that help make the wings become more rigid and a long tail that tells their status.
#Marshosaurus bicentisimus, the forgotten theropod of the Morrison Formation! The Morrison has multiple large theropods, but we also have a more slender, mid-size predator in there that doesn't get a lot of love! #paleoart #dinosaur #theropod #Jurassic

ℹ️Note: we found that at the rear end of the jaws there is not enough space to contain the outer skin folding in. So, the cheek extending down from the jugal is similar to what is found in living theropods.

-and elongated metatarsals (middle foot bones), it had long legs that were well-adapted for running! It would've used its speed to hunt small and nimble animals, as well as avoid most of its fellow Morrison Formation theropods, who likely saw it as prey! (2/2)

#paleoart reconstruction of #Herrerasaurus, one of the first large-ish carniovorous dinosaurs! Herrerasaurs sit very near the base of the dinosaur tree, and there has been much debate over whether they're early theropods, basal saurischians, or something else entirely!
One more fantasy creature quick sketch before the day ends, since I am in the mood. A small, theropod-inspired predator
Some Theropoda studies featuring the color scheme associated with Sinosauropteryx. There's inconsistencies with my proportions due to me referencing several different Compsognathids, but this is meant as a more general posing study than anything else.

Dino Fact!
Allosaurus (Different Lizard) is an allosaurid from Late Jurassic North America and Europe! It's by far the most common theropod from the Morrison Formation, making up about 75% of all theropod fossils known from there! Perhaps the- (1/3)

didn't end up picking a coelurosaur, but a triassic early theropod instead, bcs i remembered that you don't need to be a coelurosaur to have fuzz...
so here's a little zupaya design i may or may not end up working on. might just make the head.
@FuckingHedo I am indecisive, but I really like gigantoraptor (other various theropods are up there too)
