(3/6) A wide range of species exists on the high, undiscovered plateau, including not just true #dinosaurs, but also synapsids and pterosaurs - those creatures which the old movies always considered interchangeable with true dinosaurs.
Is #SynapsidSaturday a hashtag?
Probably not, but it should be.
Anyway, I made a thing...
It's the one time I haven't missed #PortfolioDay
I like painting animals, both extant and extinct, with a focus on synapsids (mammals and our relatives)
This is a old race concept I've been working on for a fantasy setting. Nidyllo are large synapsids seen all over the lands. Kind and powerful they make loyal friends and dangerous enemies. Expect a Homebrew thing about them sometime. #Fantasy #DnD #Nidyllo #Homebrew.
Morning warmup speedpaint/sketch. Suminia, one of my favorite therapsids. Suminia was a small arboreal anomodontian therapsid (so distantly related to us mammals) that lived during the Late Permian in Europe #paleoart #sciart #synapsids

Prognathodon, Losillasaurus, Palaeoloxodon, Gryposuchus...

Results from the #paleostream!
Estemmenosuchus, Lystrosaurus, Secodontosaurus and Megawhaitsia.
We decided to only do synapsids today, but everyone was just suggesting Permian/Triassic stuff. Shame!

Out of all Permian synapsids I think Cotylorhynchus is one of my favourites. I mean just look how thick thay are! I want to pat the big tummy 😍 and this his is the first time i draw one and now I want more!
Time for #FossilFriday! We like to think of tooth replacement as a tidy process. But here are 4 cross sections of jaws that show chunks of older teeth that were left behind in the bone! Happens a lot in animals that continually replace their teeth, like these extinct synapsids.
Results from the #paleostream!
Ajkaceratops, Struthiomimus, Suminia and Quinkana

I just realized I have a almost always depicted dinocephalian therapsids in combat or attacking some other animal! 🤔 That is not that usual for me #Paleoart #sciart #synapsids
You have traveled back in time to Late Permian South Africa and all of the sudden you run into this pair of Moschops capensis head butting! What a sight that must have been! Moschops was a dinocephalian therapsid, this a very distant relative of ours #Paleoart #sciart #synapsids
Results from the first Bromacker #paleostream!
Rotaryus, Thuringothyris, Tambacarnifex and Medusina.

Sketch portrait. Secodontosaurus, the lesser known, long-snouted relative of Dimetrodon (which usually gets all the attention). I’m not super happy with it but I don’t have more time today to keep tweaking it. This animal has a weird skull. #paleoart #sciart #synapsids
The herbivore apinocephalus was the largest of all non-mammal synapsids, at 4 metres in length & 2,000 kg.

Morning warmup sketch for #FossilFriday. I was thinking of this scene where a Pristerognathus (therocephalian) chases a Diictodon (dicynodont) that was caught too far out of its burrow. Permian (Capitanian) of South Africa. #paleoart #sciart #synapsids
weird synapsids: the caseasaurs: Caseasauria https://t.co/t61wx3VVZe

Only three groups of Synapsids/therapsids survived the end-Permian mass extinction event into the Early Triassic: dicynodonts (top), therocephalians (center), and cynodonts (bottom). Only the latter (our relatives) survived into the Jurassic. #paleoart #sciart #therapsids
