Saurgust day 10, Copepteryx hexeris.

Saurgust day 9, magnificent riflebird. They really are quite magnificent... when seen from the front. The back, not so much.

Saurgust day 8, Talarurus plicatospineus. My greatest enemy... ankylosaurs...

Saurgust day 7, burrowing owl. Or as we say in Dutch, a rabbit owl! Cute little guys.

Saurgust day 6, Mamenchisaurus sinocanadorum. That's a lot of neck.

Saurgust day 5, vogelkop owlet-nightjar. Very much improv'd the back markings because I had little time and couldn't find any good references. Probably should've made the stripes smaller, anyhow.

Saurgust day 4, Maiasaura peeblesorum.

Saurgust day 3, coppery-chested jacamar. Gotta love birds that throw in just the tiniest smidge of sexual dimorphism between the female and the male.

Saurgust day 2, Allosaurus jimmadseni. Was out all day yesterday so had to do a bit of catching up today.

Saurgust day 1, Congo peafowl.

Julaves day 31, stout-legged finch.

Julaves day 30, Scutellosaurus lawleri.

Julaves day 29, greater roadrunner. Experimented with a second leg on these guys (again) but just can't get it to look right. Single legged big steppies instead.

Julaves day 28, Buriolestes schultzi. Still keeping it simple because my hand is still messed up (and getting worse), hooray.

Julaves day 27, Kelenken guillermoi. Only a side sprite this time because I've messed up my hand and didn't want to push it too much.

Julaves day 26, Duonychus tsogtbaatari. Big ol claws.

Julaves day 25, agami heron. I love how this challenge introduces me to some fun birds I've never even heard of. Don't much enjoy turning those patterns into a teeny tiny sprite, though.
