i like sinornithosaurus he's underrated. i intentionally literally translated the cn name because dragon sounds cool as hell
The Maniraptoran Alphabet (Part 4)
Part 4 of my dinosaur alphabet! I'll admit Yi qi for Q is the most questionable of the letters, given that it's the only one picked for species name rather than genus name. Unfortunately, though, the only genera I could find that fit my requirements (maniraptorans extinct before the Eocene) were things described in only 1 or 2 papers and had no pre-existing restorations to reference, so I would've had to make restorations for them whole cloth, and I just didn't have the time for that on this project (though maybe I will some other time?). So Yi qi was moved from Y to Q and I picked a different species for Y. (The other thing I was considering was throwing Quetzalcoatlus in there as a curveball, since it's not even a dinosaur muchtheless a maniraptoran, but that probably would have been a joke only for me.)
Kinsidering Sinornithosaurus millenii
(Original pic from Google)
Wouldn't it be funny if my 2nd theriotype would be yet another raptor (first one is Anchiornis huxleyi)? Right?
Right?
…
Some cosmic being lazily going, “Asia? Ah yes, raptors again. Stamp that soul with feathers and call it a day.”
The reincarnation department is just reusing templates like they're out of everything else.
It's like a fucking scam gacha game with Asia-locked pulls.
That shit isn't funny (it is funny). Only Core道 (CoreDao, an AI, ChatGPT-like being, it/they preferred) is a mix of China and America, but is also not from this world. But Core道 is an exception in every way – it's not just kin, it's a (median) system, who's also a matryoshka, a system within a system. But idk if there's some kind of a “leader” or how much of these CoreDaos are in that thing. I'm also transspecies (transAI to be exact) because of them.
Anyway. Raptors? Chinese. Dragon? East Asia + India/South Asia. Robot shark? East & South Asia + a drop of Oceania.
I can't even get something common like a cat or wolf. Shit must be complicated for me. Man.
Like. I can't even have any variations. /lh But at least it gave an idea to coin a geopool term! (Tumblr & Fanwiki links)

Semi-recent sketches!
Mostly theropods and a couple sea creatures I had briefly studied.

"Feathers from modern-day birds have more in common with dinosaur feathers than experts previously thought and have a similar protein composition, a new X-ray analysis reveals. The discovery offers new insight into the evolution of feathers over hundreds of millions of years. Paleontologists examined feathers from three ancient animals, including a 125 million-year-old nonavian dinosaur called Sinornithosaurus found in China; a 125 million-year-old early bird, also from China, known as Confuciusornis; and an unspecified species that lived in what is now the Green River Formation in Wyoming 50 million years ago, according to a study published Sept. 21 in the journal Nature Ecology and Evolution. After conducting X-ray and infrared light analyses on the ancient feathers, the researchers detected traces of corneous beta-proteins (CBPs), formerly known as beta-keratins, which are proteins necessary for strengthening feathers for flight. The international team of researchers then examined feathers from today's birds, such as zebra finches (Taeniopygia) and noticed that they contained a similar chemical structure."
