Dinovember Glow Up #30 - Compsognathus
The final day of Dinovember, and we finish with a Compsognathus leaping into the air. It's been a lot of fun revisiting these prompts and I'm very happy with how these glow ups turned out. Happy Dinovember!

For how famous the original Walking with Dinosaurs made it, Ornithocheirus is a very messy genus, with over 40 species assigned to it historically. Nowadays, only one species of Ornithocheirus remains, known from the UK and the Kem Kem (maybe!).
