Dakotaraptor by Emily Willoughby

Willoughby is noted for her interest in birds, dromaeosaurids and other feathered animals.[5] She has done illustrations of many feathered theropods for scientific papers, most notably of Dakotaraptor steini in 2015.[6]

Willoughby, along with Jonathan Kane, T. Michael Keesey, Glenn Morton and James Comer, also authored God's Word or Human Reason?,[7] a 2017 book detailing the relationship between religion and science, in which the authors argue that there is no need for a Christian lifestyle to be incompatible with scientific consensus. Many of the authors talk about their former creationist lifestyles and beliefs throughout the book.[8]

Willoughby's art is mentioned and featured commonly in various programs and dinosaur books, such as Paul Barrett and Darren Naish's Dinosaurs: How They Lived and Evolved 2016.[9]
