Seems like every new find (or rumor of a new find) indicates a different skin type, so I bet they were very diverse and had structures and textures that don't directly match up to any living animals.

For here's a throwback of Lunaspis, the Devonian placoderm whose name appropriately means 🌙🛡️ (weird to remember the entire 1st half of 2018 for me was drawing the Paleozoic with colored pencils in a sketchbook)

Nothing to see here, just another mossy branch... definitely not something a pterosaur would find tasty

Very rough first attempt at a size chart here, I pretty much eyeballed it based on skeletals, etc. Mostly wanted to see what they all looked like together!

FUN FACT: Ocepechelon was just one of 2 GIANT, highly-specialized from the Late Cretaceous of Morocco. Meet Alienochelys, the "yin" to Ocepechelon's "yang"

Loganellia, a jawless thelodont w/ a square body & distinctive covering of spiny scales (that I prolly made too large). Gave it a coloration befitting its likely habitat of shallow coastal waters or reefs.

I used the skeletal provided by the beautifully comprehensive paper by Asier Larramendi. It has such a tall skull and nearly-vertical forehead. I gave it green eyes, maybe as a recessive trait?

Late night thoughts: if the BatCave had space for a stem-elephant, Alfred might’ve spent his days shoveling this Gomphotherium’s dung 🤭🤧🐘💩👴🏻

Finished Cotylorhynchus!!! Gave this Early Permian synapsid some cornified pads on the skin to help it dig/burrow, which is what it likely did with those action figure forelimbs it's got.

An old school assignment for a course. We had real (dead) insects under a microscope for reference, I painted the weird little creature A lot of fun!

Update of my yellowtail illustration (Seriola lalandi) with feedback from fish biologists. Anatomy still won't be 100% but it is much better than what it was!

For my friend's PhD thesis 🐟🐟🐟
