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

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.

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.

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.

What about some Hisunian fossils?
Meet Sinatiny and Ferosuchus based on two synapsid: Inastrocevia and Estemmenosuchus.

Just wanted to show these cuties I designed for a world I am building based on a dunkleosteus, a dilophosaurus, a velociraptor and a desmatosuchus :D
The dunkleosteus-like is an amphibian but the others are mammal-like reptiles like synapsids

Synapsids. Quick drawings in different style from me, just for fun. Merry Christmas 😊

. and colleagues report a brand new synapsid from the latest Carboniferous, which seems to fall right at the therapsid-sphenacodontid split. Evidence for ecomorphological diversity and heterodonty originating very early in the mammal linage

Moschops capensis was a synapsid that lived 260 million years ago & stood at 2.7 metres tall.
