Quetzalcoatlus is such an incredible animal. Whenever I'm at a zoo's giraffe house I remind myself that creatures of the same size were able to fly once. I painted it here from a fire truck aerial ladder perspective to show the face in a bit more detail.

A little Phacops with friends. I made this using a resin cast of a fossil and sculpted the rest from scratch.
