Description
Deinocheirus is a genus of large ornithomimosaur that lived during the Late Cretaceous around 70 million years ago, first discovered in the Nemegt Formation of Mongolia.The largest specimen was estimated at 11 m (36 ft) long, and weighing 6.4 t (7.1 short tons).
Though it was a bulky animal, it had many hollow bones which saved weight.
The arms were among the largest of any bipedal dinosaur at 2.4 m (7.9 ft) long, with large, blunt claws on its three-fingered hands.
Illustration created for book project by Mike Kelly, "Super Predator: The World Of Tyrannosaurus rex".

The little baby one are so cute! Sort of platypus like! It's nice to see your vision of them that isn't some over-stylized "reptilian" monstrosity. Looks natural and relatable.

Holy crap. I don't know what sorcery you used to make this look so realistic, but this is an amazing artwork! You must have worked really hard on it. On a side note, what's a Deinocheirus? 🤔 Looks to be some sort of relative to the Spinosaurus?

Thanks. It was a handful to create. Deinocheirus is a herbivore from Cretaceous period, found in Nemegt formation.

They were ornithomimosaurs, AKA "ostrich dinos".

Awww, so cute!
They kinda remind me of giant geese or ducks or something.

It does evoke geese in your mind, doesn't it?

Yup. Or platypi. (Platypuses?)

So photorealistic...
But I was wondering, wouldn't gigantothermy make such a dense feathery covering disadvantageous in heat exchange?

I wrote a lengthy reply, but my browser pooped itself. I'll make it short, I agree with your proposition.
If I ever make another Deinocheirus model, I'll probably cover it in less and more sparse feather.

I can feel your frustration...🤣

So is the one on the right the male and the one on the left the female?

The one on the right hand side is suppose to be a male.

Yeah, they really evoke the duck image.
