Pterosaurs make terrible couriers. Especially of food parcels.
This is the context in which this drawing originated. I'm hard-pressed to refrain from making another self-deprecatory remark about its silliness, but I had been persuaded to share this on the grounds that pterosaurs figure so rarely among my work (thereby passing the buck altogether). I also realised rather too late how much this resembles the arm-munching T. rex in action and posture. I hope you won't upbraid.

ReplyDeleteWhat kind of dessert was it?
Cookies. :)
DeleteWhat references were used for this? Scott Hartman's recent skeletal, surely?
ReplyDeleteYes, indeed; and timely it was, too. Pterosaur skeletals are very thin on the ground. I wish Scott would do more. I'm looking forward to Mark Witton's book.
DeleteNice post. I was checking constantly this blog and I am impressed! Extremely helpful information specially the last part I care for such info a lot. I was seeking this particular information for a very long time. Thank you and good luck.
