*nemo-ramjet commented that a lot of my pterosaur pictures look like those classic paintings of WW2 fighters. So I decided to go the whole hog!

Anyway, the pterosaur is Tropeognathus mesembrinus, with the body modeled on Anhanguera. I've gone with my more customary "Cunningham" membrane configuration, which looks pretty sweet on these guys.

Very dramatic and inspiring image, I love it :)

The nuances of the discussions about the how and why of wings, membranes, skin... fascinating. But way over my head, so I just enjoy your paintings as what I perceive them to be: Glimpses in a possible past.

Amazing :) I'd love to see your version of the newly discovered pterosaur someday:

Heh, the foreshortening, colors and details are great. There should have been 2 pterosaurs in a dogfight for the total WWII feel...

Did this get reclassified to Ornithocheirus?

Genus level taxonomy is stamp-collecting. And while I ain't got nothing against philately, it's not something I take seriously.
