I love most of them, but why does that Citipati appear to have a naked underside? |

because people are slow to adhere to scientific evidence and would rather choose "rule of cool" and "half arsed" depictions Also, on topic:

I love Rodrigo Vega's work, but his austroraptor makes me freaking cringe, it looks or behaves nothing like the real animal. |

I'm going to have to agree with you here. Going by the common errors with Velociraptor chart, it's definitely a "half-arse." Anyway: ![]() This is a diorama made using custom dinosaur figures (this was also made entirely without the use of digital enhancements), so it's a bit different from what's usually shown here, but I find it absolutely beautiful. |

I like that Austroraptor artistically: but yeah, it looks nothing like the real animal (which also would probably be fishing rather than attacking a sauropod as big as itself). Speaking of Rodrigo Vega I love his trunked Spinosaurus, if only because it makes me laugh.

I thought he stated that the Titanosaur was a very young one. |

Also, he drew it back in '08. It's pretty old now... |

Which still doesn't do much to change the fact that it's barely smaller than the Austroraptor, and yet the probable piscivore is tackling it with reasonable confidence by the looks of it. It would be like a pair of Marabou storks trying to take down an elephant calf! Edited by CyborgIguana, Sep 15 2015, 07:36 PM.

There's one more in the background, no? Because since it's smaller than those 2, these guys could attack it easily. |

As CyborgIguana said a Marabou Stork will not risk and cannot take down an elephant calf even if elephant calves are barely shorter than Marabous. Just because that titanosaur is small doesn't mean an Austroraptor would realistically try taking it down. Predators that hunt alone will very rarely tackle something about their size especially when they are built to hunt way smaller animals that can't inflict much damage.

Unenlagiines like Austroraptor seem to be built for hunting fish and other small aquatic prey as far as we can tell, so they probably wouldn't be after young titanosaurs unless they came across the carcass of one. |

Or if the titanosaurs barely hatched and were way smaller than the said Unenlagiine. |
