Archaeopteryx litographica

The tables have turned! Archaeopteryx chases a young compsognathid through the dark forest. Archie has been depicted so often as a helpless victim of another theropods that its easy to forgot it was a deinonychosaur (or a deinonychosaur-like bird...or both things, or wathever its considered to be right now), and thus a fearsome and capable predator -of another dinosaurs- in its own right.

Since now we know that Archie was partially black (or at least, its wings) it was a good opportunity to update this sketch. I wasn't very happy with the old version anyway.
