-Leptoceratops gracilis-
I know most small ceratopsians like thise are depicted with quills, but I wanted this guy to have a stocky vibe so I went with thick armour scutes for a more unique look. Just a stocky, bad tempered little bugger

-Aquilolamna milarcae-
This one was tough, since we only have one specimen and it's top down position makes accurately drawing one difficult. But mine ended up being a weird mix of manta ray, whale shark, and megamouth shark

I used this recent Scott Hartman skeletal
The crest ridges on the snout I gave my design are just a speculative feature to make the head a bit more menacing

-Hybodus reticulatus-
I don't draw sharks or fish often, but I'm quite happy with how this one turned out. I know real hybodus females had no horns at all, but I gave her some tiny nubs anyway just for aesthetics (accuracy purists forgive me)

-Deinonychus antirrhopus-
Thanks to several paleomedia appearances, Deinonychus just has to be blue imo. But I also wanted mine to feel distinct, and I'm really happy with the result. This might be my favourite design so far

-Tapejara wellnhoferi-
Tropical little frugivores with colours inspired by toucans/ hornbills. I even gave them the ridges on the beak that toucans have. They also have a slightly speculative crest shape to reference older Tapejara depictions

Shy and mostly solitary forest dwellers, these tall ceratopsians possess one of the largest skulls in nature. These Torosaurs also possesses colour changing chromatophores in their crests that reflect the animals moods

It took me so long to get the anatomy right for this one, Pterosaurs are bizarre. These are fairly simple reconstructions, no wierd or speculative features, but I'm really happy with them

I was kinda tired of blueish-grey countershaded mosasaurs, so I gave mine some intricate patterns inspired by tree monitors and perenties. The females are also larger and bulkier, as seen in modern snakes

I wanted my stego to have a sort of floral garden vibe. Lots of varied greens and some sunny amber plates, or green flower buds in the case of the female. The streak on the side of the body is also inspired by anteaters

When submissive or scared, they turn a dull brown, with a dark head
When hunting, they become a dark green, to better blend into its jungle home
