how did we miss microraptor day...

well, regardless, have some funny looking birds, feat. a more recent pic titled “little guy conference” , in which there are little guys and they are having a conference

#dinovember #dinovember2022 #microraptor #mononykus #sinosauropteryx #mesozoic ecosystems development hell #ik mononykus and sinosauropteryx arent in the dinovember list. but we lvoe them and microraptor is there.#so it counts. OK?#ummm. other notes:#our sinosauropteryx texture isnt complete yet - at the time we were just really eager to get a picture of it #so we made this little scene #it's complete enough to look alright in pictures and thats what matters #also our microraptor is slightly sexually dimorphic!#the males have longer display feathers on their tails than the females do #i think the one in the Little Guy Conference is a male #also all the little guys are to scale. but it was completely accidental #they were all so small that we had to model them larger than their IRL size #and coincidentally they all came out around 3x their actual size. so theyre all more or less correctly scaled to eachother #i just think thats neat.
