 This is what I've been working on for the past few days!

Last Virtual Fossil Friday we had an excellent presentation by L.J. Krumenacker (who I have spoken to at multiple Fall Fossil Fests at the Idaho Museum of Natural History) about the ever-lovable Oryctodromeus (Idaho's state dinosaur and a precious little dooper of an ornithopod). One of the most remarkable things about oryctos is that they were definitive burrowers, so host MaggieJo mentioned how cute it would be if they were basically saurian prairie dogs. And so I just had to draw that.

The colored pencil work is kinda rough; I haven't really worked with colored pencil in a while. But I picked up some tips from a couple of excellent colored pencil books, so I feel like I at least know what I'm doing slightly more than before.

Also featuring a guest appearance by Idaho's giant oviraptorosaur, which so far is only known from its eggs. Exciting stuff coming out of the Wayan Formation these days!
