One of my favorite drawings from figure drawing last semester! Whenever I get the chance, I love using charcoal and graphite to get a more expressive form to my figures.

The size and color of this crest is speculative, but I'm pretty happy with it. Perhaps the vibrance is influenced by how much carotenoids an individual consumes, as is the case w/ flamingos.

Line drawing of the Jurassic Cycnorhamphus. I really like how this is turning out so far, I forgot how much fun the textures of pterosaurs can be once you get past the nightmare of proportions & posing.

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.

Finished reconstruction of Spinosaurus aegyptiacus!!! I don't do that often, so I tried to go all-out with this one

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.
