Giant azhdarchids were seriously huge - giraffe-sized animals with wingspans comparable to small aircraft. Baby sauropods were pretty small - maybe a metre long, at most?

AZHDARCHID EATS SMALL SAUROPOD became a meme thanks to our 2008 paper, but - as with all memes - its popularity was accidental. In the Before Times (2005 - 2007) I was drawing azhdarchids eating all sorts of stuff: fish, crocs, baby tyrannosaurs etc. (See archaic art below) https://t.co/ZACkIzKjsn

Chaoyangopterus

Its classification history has been complicated, it was believed be closely related to nyctosaurus and more recently to azhdarchids but in its own group

ALT: named after a city on china, known as a "fossil city" for its many important paleontological discoveries

I did this recon of Cryodrakon a while back but I realized I never showed it. Cryodrakon was a large Azhdarchid pterosaur from late Cretaceous North America. I like to call these large azhdarchids Gitaffe-storks. And yes, yes they could fly.

Hatzegopteryx was a large, robust azhdarchid pterosaur who most definitely preyed on probably anything it could seize with its beak with! Though bones are currently only known from Romania (Hateg), it is possible that they roamed throughout other parts of the world!

A wandering I finally got some toned mixed media paper; now I can employ some of the paint I have to play with.
I’ve finally become the PAINT paddock.

Rooting through old files yesterday I found azhdarchid artwork from the first two years of my PhD (2005-2006). The wading scenes reflect what and I figured azhdarchids did before originating 'terrestrial stalking'. The skim-feeding image was not in support of the idea.

Happy to see another addition to the 'terrestrial stalking eats baby sauropod' meme, initiated by . And check out these fantastic feathered

The landstriders from the Dark Crystal show extensive propatagium...is it possible they evolved from flying ancestor, similar to how speculative flightless pterosaurs could have evolved from azhdarchids?

2700 people, hello! Here’s a new piece; Aerotitan sudamericanus, a medium-sized Azhdarchid pterosaur from South America. Wanted to try out different stuff with this one. The pterosaur is drawn only with a low opacity “pencil” brush.

This is a big deal because, in > 200 years of research, we've never had any hints about how non-pterodactyloids walked. All trackways known to date belong to pterodactyloids: short-tailed, long-armed pterosaurs of Late Jurassic and Cretaceous age. (Walking azhdarchids pictured)

Watching a documentary on Azhdarchids and thought, wow, that would be terrifying.
Referenced images were used for these .
Maybe some ancient race out in Vacuo?

I designed ENTIRELY too many creatures of Kaimere to fit them all in a single post, but here’s a bunch of them. Cheers and Happy New Year!

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.

Some paleoart of Lacusovagus, an Azhdarchoid pterosaur described in 2008 by . It lived in the Crato Formation. Follow if you like pterosaurs, they make some amazing skeletals.

Not Pokemon related, but a drawing of an Azharchid hybrid for one of my dinosaur servers! Named Azhdarrosteus or “Dragon’s Beak”. Super proud of em! 😁
