Description
Liaoningvenator currieri is a genus of Troodontid from China, described this year. It was fairly small but had proportionally very long legs. It would have chosen a more horizontal posture moste of the time but I drew it taking a more upright posture to look up the tall vegetation.
Huge thanks toΒ Midiaou Diallo for his skeletal reconstruction on which I based my art and his tips. Also big thanks toΒ Emily Willoughby for the inspiration.
Art by me, Shin Red Dear

I thank you for your constructive advice and you may be right but I think
I respected Diallo's skeletal proportions quite well. The plumage obscures some
of the details and most notably where the torso ends. Plus the way I put the legs can
give the impression that it is too short. In truth I was so happy of the result I feel bad twicking it.
But I will double-check with the source and if your hunch is right, I'll do something about it.
Regardless, thank you for your helpful criticism and keen eye!

Just to be sure, I superimposed Midiaou's skeletal to my reconstruction on Photoshop. It confirmed I respected
the proportions apart from maybe the tail which I reconstruced longer than he did, but it could still be possible since
the Liaoningvenator holotype seems to lack a few caudal vertebrae. Again, sorry if I sounded rude or protective of my work.
Thanks to you I got to check the accuracy of my art.
