Gikora is simple a large predator making it simple a neutral force. Being biological, the monster is a descendant of proceratosaurid dinosaurs. It’s size, posture, and ability to breath fire are the only real fantastical bits. Design wise he’s a mix of Yutryannus and Godzilla

Evening folks. Last drawing for this year; kicking it off with Guanlong; a small Proceratosaurid theropod. Proceratosaurids like Guanlong were early Tyrannosauroids and generally seem to have had display crests adorning their skulls.

The Monster of Partridge Creek (the first non-avian dinosaur with filamentous integument in fiction?) accidentally makes for a decent proceratosaurid

First it’s a proceratosaurid and probably the most unique in contrast to Guanlong and Proceratosaurus. Then again proceratosaurids are a rather unique group of tyrannosaurs.

Day 5 the Guanlong! A proceratosaurid tyrannosauroid from the late Jurassic, it was much smaller than its more well known descendant, the T-Rex. Drew some inspiration from Turkeys on this one with abit of extra flair.

And now the reconstruction itself
Juvenile Guanlong wucaii based on a nearly complete paratype specimen (IVPP V14532).
Despite being well preserved it’s not very well described but I hope it’ll change in the future

2. The next for will be a proceratosaurid with a rather remarkable name “Crown Dragon”. Proceratosaurids are known for their small size (with some exceptions), long arms with three fingers, and elaborate crests.

I will never get tired of reconstructing Guanlong wucaii, the Late Jurassic Proceratosaurid Tyrannosauroid from China. I find its proportions so elegant!
