Description
After the K/T extinction, Evolution missed his beloved oviraptors. This is why he made parrots.
Conchoraptor gracilis, a crestless oviraptorid from the Late Cretaceous of Mongolia. It wasn't much bigger than a macaw, and certainly looks quite a bit like one. I haven't drawn much oviraptors before, because their highly specialized skulls felt so weird and difficult. However, the longer I looked at my pet parrots, the more I felt they help me understand the odd anatomy of these guys.
So here's what I came up with, reconstructing the animal layer after layer on top of the skull, slightly bending the soft tissue towards parrot-like features.

You've done a good job on making dinosaurs look more like actual animals instead of shrinkwrapped monsters. This whole artpiece is wonderfully crafted, good job!
