Paleovember 2023, Balaenognathus!

Another recently described genus of 2023, Balaenognathus is a small pterosaur with a roughly 3 foot wingspan coming to us from Late Jurassic Germany. As you can probably see, this pterosaur was adapted for filter feeding, with a mouth so full of long teeth that it wouldn't have been able to fully close it's mouth in life!

My 2023 Art Highlights

2023 was a pretty rough year for me, but one of the highlights was really finding my style, i feel more confident in my abilities as an artist than ever before

i properly drew 165 animals last year, aiming for a higher number and more diversity this year

Balaenognathus: "Pterosaurs in general are absolutely bizarre, with their stupidly long metacarpals and just generally weird wings, but this one said fuck it and decided to be a filter feeder, like a flamingo, with tiny hair teeth and a beak that looks like it was flattened by flying into a brick wall at high speed in a slapstick cartoon"

Ghost-Faced Bat: "eyes in he ears"
