Microraptor by Mick Ellison:

“When NOVA commissioned me to draw Microraptor a few years ago, they were interested in a video sequence from the fossil slab of the type specimen to the fleshed out animal in its death pose. But what needs to be taken into account is the fossil itself is crushed flat and somewhat disarticulated, making for a slightly unnatural and stylized representation.” Read the rest of the interview at Archosaur musings.
