Artist's Comments

Having done similar drawings using comic-style characters, I wanted to try doing a digital painting of a paleo subject. In this case, I picked my favorite little aye-aye dinosaur, Epidendrosaurus. At less than 6 inches long, it's the smallest dinosaur, though it might be a juvenile. It's sitting on a mossy ginkgo branch, a modern tree whose realtives would have housed these little scansors.

So where and when were these little buggers found?

They were described in 2002, but the buzz was on the indicator a few years prior to that (I think I have a sketch based on word of mouth from like 1999 or earlier!). They're from Liaoning, China. I wrote a wikipedia article about them if you want some more info [link]
:iconavancna:
Ah, so they were among the chinese dinobirds...
And I took the liberty of correcting the translation...
"Epidendros" means "upon (a) tree"
