Here's a thread of some art I made a couple of years ago when I had a HUGE synapsid phase.

Sorry it’s so scribbly, but here’s a sleepy guy! My favorite synapsid =]

Cotylorhynchus was one of the very first large terrestrial herbivores ever and honestly kind of looks like a first attempt. It was an Early Permian synapsid, a mammal relative rather than an actual reptile.

Wip for a book illustration.

So Beyond the Gates has showed some of the ILM CGI models of some of the Dinosaurs and Synapsids in

Newest of murrayi. These squat little were the most abundant land vertebrates in their communities.

Quick studies of the large gorgonopsian Rubidgea for a possible commission. Meet your toothy distant relative. Synapsids have been doing this saber-toothed thing for a very long time

Not a dinosaur? It must have been a great surprise to find the skull of an ancient animal with very big teeth in PEI back in 1845! Sphenacodontids are non-mammalian synapsids, large terrestrial vertebrates that lived before the dinosaurs during the Permian Period.

Dicynodonts were members of a diverse clade of non-mammalian therapsids. This is Ischigualastia, from Argentina.

Y'all pointed out the synapsid-ish anatomy, but as a Mesoamerican history nerd I'll also point out the pyramid isn't Aztec: It's the Temple of Kukulkan at Chichen Itza, a Maya site

Aztec pyramids often had twin shrines, distinctive roofs and "abutments" on the summit platform...

Le saviez-vous ?

Les dimeurtrodons sont nommés et modélisés d'après le Dimétrodon, un genre de synapsides qui vivait au Permien.

Alors qu'ils sont appelé "dinosaures" dans WOW, le vrai Dimétrodon, comme tous les autres synapsides, était en fait plus proche des mammifères.

Sphenacodon was medium-large carnivorous synapsid named in the late 19th century. It lends its generic name to the family to which it belongs; the Sphenacodontidae, which the famous Dimetrodon is also a part of. Sphenacodon lasted from the Late Carboniferous to the Early Permian.

Yeah, I'm a fan of sausage dogs. What can I say. Skeletal by the wonderful Scott Hartman was a very useful reference for this, I've never drawn synapsids before.

Reminds me of that one bully dinosaur from the land before time sequel lol or one of those uncanny valley transitional synapsids

Little Ianthasaurus was one of the earliest Synapsids; a diminutive member of the Edaphosauridae, from the Late Carboniferous. Unlike its larger later cousins, Ianthasaurus was more lightly built, and had pointed, peg-like teeth that were better adapted for feeding on arthropods.
