Fast sketch of a product of an alternative Triassic, with a different set of "dinosauromorphs" running the game.

It's refreshing to drop digital tools and pick up a real pencil every once in a while.

Nice lively lines in this one. The drawing has a more organic feel somehow. You should do pencil work more often. :)

Interesting creature too. It reminds me of a hippogriff I draw ages ago, though a lot more realistic. Do you suppose that integument is homologous with pterosaur and dinosaur filaments?

The integument might be homologous or semi-homologous - I imagined it as an intermediary between scale tufts and ornithischian/theropod/pterosaur "things."

Thanks! These days I'm all into wacom and photoshop for the anal-retentive levels of control&detail they offer, but I do agree that some of the intuitive magic of pencils is missing. Perhaps preparing a sketch in wacom, and then drawing over it in pencil can be a good alternative.

Bird-headed Silesaurus? Not bad....

This is a long-removed descendant, their faces might have evolved in a lot of different ways.

Makes you wonder, if neither dinosaurs nor synapsids made it through the Triassic...

Makes me think of a world filled with Notosuchians....

Would still look a bit like dinosaurs, perhaps with more mammal-like gaits and leg structure due to the condition of the crocodylian ankles... Eventually true endothermy and insulation would evolve somehow, and you'd have weird mammal-crocs running around the place :)
