A quick digital painting of the head of Kentuckia deanii I made for a university project. A couple group members (including me) made illustrations of some extinct ray-finned fish species to make our presentation pop (and also because there weren't that many images of most of the species).

I mostly referenced Giles & Friedman (2014) for the skull structure as well as looking at extant basal ray-finned fish species.

I took a four week intensive on Scientific Illustration over the summer, and these are what I consider my best work. It was a very interesting experience and I don't think I've learned so much in that short of a period before.

Specimens:

Thylacine Thylacinus cynocephalus: Copy of WAM 13.2.16

Red Kangaroo Osphranter rufus: FUR 272

Euowenia grata: FU 2671
