the same character as before, as an anurognathus. instead of a beak, his snout is short and frog-like. his eyes are owlish, much larger in proportion to his head than the other species.

all the times i drew voltaje as different pterosaurs: wukongopterus, tapejara, zhenyuanopterus, geosternbergia + anurognathus in reply coz it didnt fit

#paleo #PaleoArt #art #ArtPH

drawing of a wukongopterus pterosaur from the head and neck up. he has grey pycnofibers with lighter countershading, and bright white stripes resembling lightning in a dark stormy sky. his eye is bright yellow with a white ring around it. his crest and beak are decorated with bright red, blue, yellow, and white. his snout is long, with teeth showing, and his crest is large and round.

the same character as before, but as a tapejara. his crest is large in comparison to his head, and transitions seamlessly into his beak, which is pointed. the lower beak as another point below the tip, leading to a squared-off appearance.

the same character as before, but as a zhenyuanopterus. his snout is longer, with needle-like teeth showing. his crest is a rounded point, and points forward.

the same character as before, as a geosternbergia. his beak is long in proportion to the rest of his head, and curves in a smooth downward swoop. his crest is large, and is an odd rectangular shape with smooth corners and a single sharper point.
