Just finished colorizing this illustration of an extinct leatherback (Psephophorus) off the Santa Cruz coast 5 million years ago. Never again will I do jellies like this. Paper coming soon... digital/graphite, ~20 hours.

The coloration is based on recent data indicating countershading in ichthyosaurs, which while not surprising is still really cool. I mainly looked at modern dolphins for inspiration, as their skin is the closest analog.
