Do you know those terrible looking flightless pterosaurs from World of Kong? I think they are more serviceable as an evolved version of the flappy handed aquatic compsognathus paleoart meme.
And before you'd mention... yes, there is a difference between being a filtered mess and being actually colour coded. Movies like KOTM or Pacific Rim are colour coded. Movies like Jurassic World are filtered messes which practically sabotaged and downgraded its own VFX.
@NomadicAllo Those are very obviously just regular, placeholder CG birds. Aside from one flightless species, canonically there are no flying pterosaurs on the 2005 Skull Island. The animals seen many times in the background during the film are likely just seagulls.
To my potential Hungarian followers (probably 1 or 2) sometimes I do some blogposts when I feel the mood to do so (which is rare) on our native language. In this one talking about my process on drawing this T. rex.
Not the best talker, but I'm trying.

It still amazes me - aside from some obvious inaccuracies - how close they were with these concepts for the Vastatosaurus.
Najarala is a pretty difficult case, because of the presence of "external ears". We just don't know for sure if these are actual ears or just fleshy ornaments, that just happened to be shaped like ears, like on a Tigrex.
With logical taxonomy, these guys should be together under the same clade, such as "Ophidiocephalia" or something.
Instead of split them apart to "elder dragons", or lumping them with far more stem-mammal like fanged wyverns, just because they are quadrupeds and have no wings.
An aesthetic choice, that the 2005 movie and its artists tried to pay homage to.
Huge public misconception about All Yesterdays that "it's that book that teaches you EVERY dinosaur had obscure shit going on on it and scientists would likely be morons enough to ignore muscle attachment points if they'd reconstruct modern animals"...
...while there's this too:
