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.

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.

Sometimes you just gotta ask yourself...if I don't make a super spiny Trilophosaurus, who will?

Palaeontology Coproliteposting is on a Cambrian kick and it’s honestly the most impressive collective display of memeing I’ve ever seen. https://t.co/DUAS6IWM81

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.

Line drawing of the Jurassic Cycnorhamphus. I really like how this is turning out so far, I forgot how much fun the textures of pterosaurs can be once you get past the nightmare of proportions & posing.

A admirer of U-Haul graphics asked me about the details that went into even the smallest areas in each graphic.

The integument & length of the tusks are speculative, & for the coloration I looked at some living animals and ended up way too close to them (not gonna say which though, lol). I like the unintentional metallic flavor it's got though
