I wouldn't rule it out 100%, we restored it as a noasaurid so a scaled integument seemed the most parsimonious considering what we have from related taxa, but it's certainly not a definite

As usual, model and integument by Similis, patterning by myself and rendered by @synjfd.bsky.social

Next up is Deltadromeus agilis, definitely an interesting taxon to try to reconstruct! We went down the carnivorous noasaurid route in the end. This colour scheme was partially inspired by the Tigrisoma heron species, particularly the Fasciated Tiger-Heron.

Finally making the transition from the other site to here, thought I should share some recent art for my first post. I designed this colour scheme for Torvosaurus tanneri, definitely amongst my favourite jurassic theropods.
