Dsung Intersex Crest

I believe that the original sketch (made a few years ago) was brought on by my anger at the invisibility of intersex people in the public eye, along with how their parents often treat them.

I had no idea what to do for the background tbh

Continuing my recent trend of #Yanliao beasties, here's an updated, more serious attempt at #Jeholopterus for #FossilFriday!!! The camouflaged colouration is based in #Ginkgo bark, which would have grown in contemporary forests.

Rhamphorhynchus

Was intended to be just a sketch but I spent 2 or 3 too many weeks on it.
