Spinosuchus was probably similar in size to Trilophosaurus, although as you can see its tall neural spines give its back a raised hump/sail and less of the lean, iguana-like silhouette. #paleontology #fossils #Allokotosauria #paleoart #sciart #naturalhistory #illustration

I also went with a similar coloration scheme, with a striped face and patterning along the upper half of the body on a yellow-green "base". There's a possibility Spinosuchus was arboreal like its close relative, but either way I think this coloration fits. #paleontology #paleoart

For the coloration, I looked at a bunch of arboreal reptile species, large and small. It's harder than I thought to give it the loose, splotchy look of reptile coloration without losing the semblance of an actual pattern. #paleoart #sciart #scientificillustration #Trilophosaurus

Sometimes you just gotta ask yourself...if I don't make a super spiny Trilophosaurus, who will? #paleoart #paleontology #sciart #scientificillustration #wip #allokotosauria

The memes with these 2 write themselves, folks. #Azendohsaurus #Shringasaurus #paleoart #paleontology #fossils #sciart #scientificillustration

In order: Azendhosaurus skeletal from the Nesbitt et. al monograph. Shringasaurus skeletal from Saradee Sengupta & colleagues. And Ashley's skeletal #paleontology #fossils #paleo #sciart #scientificillustration

While I've made some strides, there's still a ways to go. Some errors (helpfully pointed out by @arvalis) include the jawline and the placement of the secondary remiges. Feathers and wings are so damn complex! I'll do better next time for sure. #Utahraptor #paleoart #sciart

I came a long way from my initial sketch based on Scott Hartman's skeletal. Note the improved position of the wing based on dromaeosaurid folding capabilities, and the ample feather coverage (still only about 75% of a lot of living birds) #Utahraptor #dinosaurs #paleoart

The size and color of this crest is speculative, but I'm pretty happy with it. Perhaps the vibrance is influenced by how much carotenoids an individual consumes, as is the case w/ flamingos. #Cycnorhamphus #paleontology #paleoart #pterosaurs #sciart #scientificillustration

The jaws & dentition of Cycnorhamphus are unusual for ctenochasmatoids, and suggest a specialized diet of harder food items. Possible menu items include shellfish, snails, large insects, and seeds/pinecones.
