I'm surprised I've never heard of Julio Lacerda before; his/her work is outstanding! I wouldn't mind having a book full of their paintings.

This oviraptorosaur reconstruction by Matthew Martyniuk, which is probably one of the few feathered dinosaur reconstructions that acknowledges that non-ornithurine maniraptors ha feathered, not scaly, feet.

As awesome as that image is, where did you get the info that maniraptorans are known to have had feathered feet? Most birds today have scaly feet with the exception of a few (such as owls). I'm not saying I dislike the idea of feather-footed maniraptorans (in fact, that would be awesome) just that I wouldn't address them as a fact.

Bird foot scales may be derived from foot feathers.

Of course they could, I'm just saying he seemed overly confident that feather-legged maniraptorans are a fact, when there isn't even a lot of existing evidence that this is the case in the fossil record. But this is off-topic.

All feathered non-ornithurine maniraptorans with well preserved foot integrument show only scales in rather mammal-like footpads, the rest being covered with feathers.

Foot scales in birds are actually derived feathers, and in some breeds of chickens and pigeons there's the well known reversals.

Thank you for the set, Azrael!

My dromaeosaur (It's no specific species but I suppose it's rather like a thin-jawed Deinonychosaur) does too. :D

One question: why do you post only half of the animal's name in italics and keep capitalizing first letter of the species? :P I've never came across this kind of misuse of scientific naming so I'm curious where it originated from.

Meanwhile...

This is my way to Differentiate The Type Species of Species
Example: Pachyrhinosaurus (Type Species) Canadensis(Species) ;)
