I don't think I've ever seen an ichthyosaur muscle reconstruction, so thought I'd spend a few moments on one this morning... I've emerged from the rabbit hole hours later with this take on Ophthalmosaurus myology (drawn over skeletal McGowan and Motani 2003)

For here's my 2017 of the largest known ape, Gigantopithecus blacki, as featured in the Palaeoartist's Handbook and my upcoming book, Life Through the Ages II. It's sharing the scene with a Homo erectus.

For here's some of the newly-named azhdarchid Cryodrakon made several years before the specimen was named. The two older images here are from 2009 (a whole decade ago!) and the newer, prettier version is from 2016.
