Morning warmup sketch. Parapsicephalus purdoni, a rhamphorhynchid from the Early Jurassic of England foraging on the ground. I wanted to play with postures on this pterosaur plus some ideas on lights and shadows

Sharovipteryx fue un reptil del Triásico con la capacidad de planear. A diferencia de los pterosaurios, la membrana de vuelo se localizaba en sus patas traseras, ya que las delanteras eran muy cortas
Esta configuración anatómica no se ha vuelto a repetir en ningún animal actual.

These designs are based on a combination of various seabirds and pterosaurs - red-footed boobies, magnificent frigatebirds, Ornithocheirus, and Nyctosaurus - with a pirate motif all around. Maraupen is also based on the Ropen, a pterosaur-like cryptid from Papua New Guinea.

A fun comparison for Pterodactylus restored by Jean Hermann in 1800 vs. Pterodactylus restored by me, 220 years later. Hermann's pterosaur is the oldest known 'legit' piece of palaeoart - a fossil-based life reconstruction based on science, not mythology.
