#Luchibang xingzhe (loo–chee–bang shing–hey) was an #istiodactylid #pterosaur from the early #Cretaceous of China!

I like istiodactylids because they’re super weird, but they hardly get any recognition for it!

I don’t think I ever posted this little #doodle I made back in September!

I saw a #banana on the table that had a cool shape, and it looked like a caricatured #Pteranodon, so here he is!

For those of you that don’t know, I’m in a difficult financial situation right now, and my savings account has been completely drained.

If I don’t have $100 more by the end of the month, I won’t be able to pay rent for April.

That being said, I would infinitely appreciate it if you could help me reach my goal! Every little bit helps!

#Leptostomia begaaensis was a small(ish), probe-feeding pterodactyloid #pterosaur from the #Cretaceous of #Morocco!

Its generic name translates to “slender mouth”, and its specific name is a reference to the village of Hassi El Begaa near the Kem Kem Group in Morocco!

Guidraco venator (gway-dray-koh ven-ate-or) was an #anhanguerid #pterosaur from the early Cretaceous of China. Its name refers to the Chinese term “gui”, meaning “ghost”, and the Latin word “draco” meaning “dragon”. Its specific name is the Latin word for “hunter”.

#Eopteranodon was previously thought to be related to #toothless #pterosaurs like #Pteranodon, but is now placed comfortably in #Tapejaridae with pterosaurs like #Tupandactylus and #Sinopterus!

Here’s #Dearc! The largest described #Jurassic #pterosaur!

Dearc sgiathanach was a #rhamphorynchid found on the Isle of Skye in #Scotland, and described by Natalia Jagielska and Steve Brusatte. Its wingspan was estimated at about 2.5 meters (8.2 feet), which was much bigger than the next biggest #pterosaurs at that time!

I ended up liking the design and character of Zestial Morde more than I expected to, so here he is! I was ecstatic when I figured out that he was played by the legendary James Monroe Iglehart!

Please favorite and reblog if you want to see more Hazbin related things! But…

Here is Caelestiventus hanseni! One of the few #pterosaurs discovered from the #Triassic!

This definitely has one of the best names of any #pterosaur! Its generic name translates to “heavenly wind”, which is definitely up there with #Sordes and #Cryodrakon!

Here’s the baby #azhdarchid I made in November of 2022! (Inspired by the #bittern in the replies)

I still really like this piece because of how tightly I had the limbs fold up, I think it was a neat idea!

Can you figure out what animals are going to be featured?

I apparently really like that Tupandactylus imperator sketch, because I’ve made two things from it! The one in the last image isn’t available on my Etsy store, but if you want one, or something similar, you can find others like it in said store (link in bio), or you can commission me directly via private post!
Any engagement really helps, so if you like things like this, please favorite and share it around! I’d really appreciate it!!

Here’s a repost of my rubber hose Phosphatodraco from “Prehistoric Planet”!
There’s only a few of my older pieces that I still really like, and this is definitely one of them! To this day, I still don’t think there’s anything I would change about it!

“Quick” Nyctosaurus Doodle Please leave a like if you enjoy this style! I’ve just started to understand how vertebrae look in 3D, and I have a LOT more to understand. To add more to the pile, pterosaur cervical vertebrae have unique joints, and it hurts my brain without physical sculpts or scans. If you have any info that might be helpful, please feel free to reach out! #nyctosaurus #pterosaur #rubberhose #taxidermy #vertebrae #anatomy #cartoon

Sinopterus Head Sculpture Part 7 FINAL

(More pictures and a video below!)
Painted, sealed, and finished!! I used acrylic paint and two kinds of Mod Podge. Gloss for the eyes, and matte for everything else!

Leave a comment if you think I should try something like this again! (1/4)

Sinopterus Head Sculpture Part 4

This turned out surprisingly good, after a couple failed attempts! I was a little worried that flour and water wasn’t going to be enough, and it’s much less sturdy than glue, but it works well enough!
I think I’m ready to move on to the other side!
