Lunaspis, Austroptyctodus, Diplognathus and Keresdrakon (to pacify @LikesPterosaurs). #paleoart #placodermi #sciart #pterosaurs #art #sketch
I made some new friends last night for my dnd universe! Themed on late Cretacious pterosaurs bailing on flight and moving towards land movement
Ok so today`s tweet is gonna be random!
1. #Tanycolagreus 40 min sketch
2. Just random pterosaurs?
3. A buff man???
4. Oversized skulls/ really tiny human

Quick reminder that drawing #pterosaurs is equally hard and rewarding!

Dragonite can flying faster than the speed of sound. It can circle the globe in sixteen hours, traveling roughly 1,556mph! Even though it’s huge it could fly well! A real life dragonite would be like the extinct Pterosaurs- earliest vertebrates known to have evolved flight....
WIP. An illustration I started long ago but have not had time to finish. Cuspicephalus, a Late Jurassic pterosaur from England. Here hunting a squamate amidst large quillworts. Inspired by a reconstruction of the same taxon by @MarkWitton #paleoart #sciart #pterosaurs
Some paleoart of Lacusovagus, an Azhdarchoid pterosaur described in 2008 by @MarkWitton. It lived in the Crato Formation. Follow @LikesPterosaurs if you like pterosaurs, they make some amazing skeletals.

Because it is #PterosaurPtuesday my warmup sketch for today is a group of Nyctosaurus. Showing possible sexual dimorphism in the bizarre crest of this species. Nyctosaurus is definitely among the most interesting #pterosaurs #paleoart #sciart
Don't be fooled by its name, Eopteranodon is not closely related to the other more popular pterosaur with a similar name. It's one of the earliest known toothless pterosaurs. https://t.co/NouIhlRzSA
Pterosaur feathers
by @JoschuaKnuppe
Pterosaurs are known to have been covered in hair-like pycnofibers. Two specimens of anurognathids show that some pycnofibers were brush- or tuft-shaped and probably share an evolutionary origin with feathers.

Douzhanopterus is a transitional pterosaur between wukongopterids and the more derived short-tailed pterosaurs. https://t.co/Jg2Wsg2IL5

Yi qi is a dinosaur that evolved flight seperately from birds (& is unrelated to pterosaurs), with both feathers & bat-like wings.

Very interesting, from @physorg_com : "New research, led by the University of Bristol, suggests that feathers arose 100 million years before birds—changing how we look at #dinosaurs, birds, and pterosaurs, the flying reptiles." https://t.co/4214ojSu2L
I've been thinking a lot about pterosaurs this week, so here's #paleoart of two Thalassodromeus for #FossilFriday. Thalassodromeus had a very odd skull, even for a pterosaur: weird jaws, huge crest, and expanded jaw muscle space.

Elanodactylus has some unique skeletal features among pterosaurs and evolved long neck vertebrae convergent with another group, the azhdarchids. https://t.co/PyfxWV07cv
New blog post: part 2 of my #paleoart analysis of the Crystal Palace models. This time we're covering Teleosaurus, pterosaurs and Mosasaurus (dinosaurs are obviously missing, but they're up next). Features two new palaeoart pieces done for @cpdinosaurs.

Cute little Bellubrunnus is among the smallest of all known pterosaurs. It is also noteworthy because its wingtips curve forward, unlike other pterosaurs. https://t.co/WeTadwTPns
