Here's the new Compsognathus next to the original from 2018. The original version had the poor animal dead in the Solnhofen lagoon, but the ending to this Dinovember is a happier one, with it alive and well, and with a more natural-looking appearance.

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!

Here's the new Tyrannosaurus next to the 2018 original. The original juvenile was based on 'Jane", but now that specimen is officially lumped into Nanotyrannus, the modern version is based largely on the 'Teen Rex' specimen.

Today we join a father Tyrannosaurus enjoying some quality bonding time with his juvenile daughter. Soon she will be old enough to go it alone, so best enjoy these moments while they can.

Today gives us a Deinonychus cleaning off its' talons after a particularly messy feeding. The original piece used a lot of inspiration from birds of prey, and hopefully that's even more apparent now.

Today the legendary, and equally controversial, Spinosaurus patrols the waterways, punting along the bottom of a shallower river. Hopefully a nice intermediate between wading and swimming.
