Description
Meg and her babies.
Yup, feather evidence in a megalosauroid www.amnh.org/science/papers/fe…
Edit 23/08/2015: The current consensus indicates Sciurumimus is a Coelurosaur, so this reconstruction remains as "speculative" rather than "likely".
And many thanks to
for the anatomical corrections and for helping me with the integument distribution.

Overall
Vision Originality Technique ImpactOkay, this is my first critique:
VISION - Although Sciurumimus was indeed a feathered megalosauroid, it is also important to remember that it was a juvenile, not an adult. Consider me to be a little bit too traditional, but I'm sticking with scaled adult megalosauroids until I see evidence to the contrary. The babies you show, though, are incredibly cute and accurate ^ ^
If/when we find a feathered adult megalosauroid, consider this changed to a 5/5.
ORIGINALITY - As said before, I've only seen Sciurumimus as a feathered megalosauroid. I've never seen a depiction of Megalosaurus herself as feathered, so I'm giving you a high score here.
TECHNIQUE - My only complaint is the lack of any real background. I'm glad it's not white, but it would be really nice if there was some real scenery here.
IMPACT - This shows brilliantly how our understanding of dinosaurs has evolved since 1859 (compare this to your "vintage" Megalosaurus), notwithstanding anything I've said before.
Overall, I apologise if this seems too critical, but you still got over a 4/5 generally. Great job.
