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.

The integument & length of the tusks are speculative, & for the coloration I looked at some living animals and ended up way too close to them (not gonna say which though, lol). I like the unintentional metallic flavor it's got though

Line drawing of that most labyrinthian of ammonites, the Cretaceous Nipponites. I tried to go for a unique appearance for the soft tissue, and ended up with this vaguely octopus-looking, stalk-eyed form that's doing...something with its tentacles.

R is for rhynchosaur.

Rhynchosaur was a reptilian parrot beaked pig from the Triassic that ate mainly tubers and roots. (not literally a pig, but a fat lizard none the less)Illustration for extinct series.

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.
