Rebecca Gelernter has represented amazing hypothesys following current knowledge about feathered cretaceous paravians. Among her troodontids, the Anchiornis huxleyi is my favorite depiction of this species. Also excellent feathers in her current birds!

Irene C. Ribot has really stunning illustrations, amazing details with 0.03 ink markers, nice games of ligth and textures, a variated record... (and of course, troodontids🤘🏼)

Wish someday I can watch her exhibited works at Girona when pandemy allows it.

This furtive little creature is Nodontoraptor australis, a descendant of derived Dwelling in the subtropical open forests of Late Eocene Texas, Nodontoraptor was named for one surprising anatomical feature: a completely toothless beak!
