Pterosauria

An ongoing attempt to reconstruct every valid known genus of pterosaur.

Caviramus was another crested Late Triassic pterosaur. Raeticodactylus likely also belongs to this genus.

Good News:

I have a laptop that I can do art on so hopefully Caviramus will come out within the next few weeks. I gotta do some practice drawings but I’m finally starting to get used to drawing on a smooth screen.

Sorry for the long hiatus. This project is not abandoned and will hopefully be able to resume after I graduate in December.

I wanna see germanodactylus rhamphastinus :D

Me too man but all the dsungaripterids are last :C

[everypterosaur]

Your art is amazing! I would love to see Noripterus in the future! I can't find any good art of it.

I hope to someday! It’s toward the end, though, being a dsungaripterid. D:

And thank you!

Question! I would like to stream some drawing in the future and I’m not sure what the best service to use is. Would anybody be interested + which service do you think works best (i.e. twitch, livestream, picarto, etc.)?

[everypterosaur]

Do you plan on drawing and doing an informative on Ludodactylus?

Yes I am!

It’s ways away though seeing as its a pterodactyloid and I’m still working on Eopterosauria.

Hey guys I made a twitter @everypterosaur​ if you want to follow. I will post my art there as well!

Sorry for the long absence. Here is Austriadraco, a small late Triassic pterosaur from Austria. It has a short coracoid and may have been closely related to Articodactylus, who shares this trait.

This one was tricky as I couldn’t find any pictures off the fossils, just numeric proportions and a skeletal. The pose it meant to be for display by holding the wings up to flash the red and white markings.

Raeticodactylus going in for a landing. This is a bit out of order (Austriadraco should have been next) but I had already sketch it.

Raeticodactylus had a wingspan of about 1.35m (~4.5 ft) and likely ate fish. It is known from a disarticulated skeleton that includes an almost complete skull. Unusually for such an early pterosaur, Raeticodactylus had a crest. It’s possible that it is synonymous with Caviramus, or they are sister taxa.

Hey fellow pterosaur nerds!

Unfortunately, due to a lot of Real Life business including Doing Research and Being in a Sorority I haven’t much more than sketch things but I shall resume as soon as I am able! It is just difficult for me to sit down at a computer for hours for anything anymore.

Next up is Articodactylus.

This one is another little guy with short wings and big feet. Articodactylus had a wingspan of about 2 ft and was unearthed in Greenland, hence its name.

Hey guys! 

The list of pterosaurs is up! If I’m missing any or new ones are described please feel free to message me. (Or if I spelled something wrong.) I’ll try to keep it updated with links as I draw them.

Also, I’ve been moving and generally pretty busy but hopefully I can get settled and start drawing more again.

Carniadactylus 

This guy is a little bit controversial, it was initially thought that it was in the same genus as Eudimorphodon, and then sister to Caviramus or Peteinosaurus, but I chose to draw it as its own. Basically its a little bitty guy with multi-cusped teeth, long wings, and big feet.

I forgot how much fun it is to work with white with blue shading.
