QRP with your header art!

Mine is a reversed version of the Shenzhoupterus I drew for my “Pterosaur ABCs” series

No joke, learning to use physical maps would be awesome

Love these two! 💚💛

Here’s a couple sketches of Huaxiadraco corollatus and Sinopterus dongi!

🐸 Froggy Faces 🐸

A little #Dendrorhynchoides curvidentatus meets a #Liaobatrachus grabaui!

This idea was inspired by a drawing suggestion my lovely partner made (almost a year ago now, whoops), where she said I should draw a lil #frog!

Pangupterus liui was a mysterious #pterosaur that lived in the early Cretaceous of China!
The holotype fossil only has the long and thin bottom jaw along with most of the teeth!

#Cycnorhamphus suevicus easily owned one of the weirdest sets of #pterosaur jaws!

There’s been a few ideas as to what it ate, but the most supported one is that it was durophagous, or specialized to eat hard stuff! 🦐🦪

Sinomacrops bondei was an #anurognathid #pterosaur from China! 🐸

The only described specimen of #Sinomacrops is crushed, but the head is preserved mostly on its side, which is normal for most #pterosaurs, but very rare in #anurognathids! 👀

Please check out my Ko-Fi to see my posts early! 😄

For this piece, I wanted to experiment with putting clothes on a #pterosaur! I think it adds some charm, but what do you think?? 🤔

This pterosaur is a #tapejarid called #Caiuajara, which is easily one of my favorites in the family!

🚨 NEW PTEROSAUR! 🚨

Skiphosoura bavarica was a monofenestratan #pterosaur from the #Solnhofen, and it’s very important to our understanding of the #evolution of the pterosaur body plan!

Please consider reposting my art if you can! Your interest means a ton as I start posting here more!
