DRAGONS OF THE MESOZOIC

I got commissioned to design a pterosaur back tattoo, and decided to use the opportunity to redraw my original dragons of the Mesozoic design.

Sketches I’ve made of various Jurassic fauna, from bottom to top: Camarasaurus, Dimorphodon, Pterodactylus, Liopleurodon, Stegosaurus and Allosaurus. As a paleontology enthusiast since childhood, I consider the Jurassic to be my favorite period of the Mesozoic Era, since it’s called “The Golden Age of Dinosaurs” for being the heyday of not only the dinosaurs but also the pterosaurs and some of the most spectacular marine reptiles and fish ever to swim the earth’s oceans, and for boasting some of the coolest animals of the entire Mesozoic era overall, even when much of 2020s paleomedia skips it completely in favor of the more popular animals of the Late Cretaceous or the Pleistocene.

I've finally finished it! Dimorphodon macronyx is a dimorphodontid pterosaur from the Early Jurassic of England. Its remains were first found by Mary Anning in 1828 on the coast of Dorset. At first, the animal was classified as a Pterodactylus species, but sir Richard Owen, who described two more specimens, identified a new genus in 1859. Dimorphodon reached a meter in length and had a wingspan of 1.45 m. Its most recognizable feature is a 23 cm long skull with large holes to reduce weight. There were large "fangs" and numerous small teeth in the jaws. Dimorphodon is believed to have fed on small vertebrates and possibly insects. Judging by its relatively short wings and heavy skeleton, it was not a good flyer. This is a secondary feature: earlier, Triassic pterosaurs were good fliers.

Fun fact: First comic I drew in 2026 and also the one I drew after Lore dumping a hundred page presentation on Wild Kratts (and the comic) to my friends, which one said as a joke to present our stories on new years eve… I didn‘t realize it was a joke and took the opportunity to talk about my Interessts :)
