Dilong paradoxus

Description

A pencil portrait of the 'imperial dragon,' or more appropriately the little basal tyrannosauroid from Beipiao.

I promised in the comments of Mystery Meat-Eater that I'd draw Dilong next to illustrate what traits apparent from the skull you would probably see in a live animal: the profile of the snout is still unmistakable and the location of the ear gives you a hint of the approximate location of the squamosal. (Obviously there could be soft tissue structures that would mask the shape of the skull further, but even then what you'd see would always be the skull plus everything else.)
