Citipati sp., sans feathers. Based on this: [link] Gonna be part of a sequence for my Dinosaurs of Gondolend book I'm working on. More information about the project can be found here: [link]

The facial display wattles and galliforme-style fighting spurs are of course speculative. As is the joined second and third fingers.

A note on Citipati: The vast majority of Oviraptor restorations are wrong, because they use the skull of Citipati sp. as a reference. Until a few years ago it was thought to belong to Oviraptor, but now we know it didn't. So if you want to draw Oviraptor, do your homework.

Also, whatever you do, do not use Greg Paul's Oviraptor skeletal as a reference for Citipati. That's a composite, using the Citipati skull and postcranial elements from Oviraptor. Since Citipati was something like twice the size, the proportions will be way off.

Here is an accurate Oviraptor restoration: [link]
And here is Citipati: [link]
And here they are compared (along with other genera):

I'm beginning to get the impression that you have a thing for knives.

actually im scared of knives.
i dont trust myself with them cuz im scared i might stab myself cause i tend to forget when im holding dangerous things , once i got to shoot a bb gun and then i forgot i was holding it and i was talking and waving it around at my brother and his friends and they were all ducking and im like what? and then they took the gun from me.
lol.

I'm the opposite. A deadly weapon? Yes please! I need more money to buy more guns and knives.


Useful knives though, not those fantasy pieces of crap like BudK sells.
