While I love them and think they're facinating... Icthyosaurs scare me. Here you have something extremely dolphin-like... yet they were reptiles, and thus likely had personalities far closer to crocodiles.
Dude. Dolphin-like critters should never be mean!
Anyhoo. I especially like this one. The attention given to the faces and eyes really bring them to life.
You've always been good and detailed, but as of late, you're on fire. Your reconstructions have started to take on very realistic qualities about them, where previously (With your alien planet constructions), they had a semi cartoonish quality (Not a bad thing).
This piece most definately deserves to be in a paleozoology book.

Apparently, you've never seen a dolphin play with a fish before.

Yeah, well... a lot of THESE 'dolphins' are big enough to use US as the fish.

yeah, but they don't have crocodilian personalities.
Of course.. not like we know that icthyosaurs had personalities simular to crocodiles... but I feel that's a far more realistic expectation than assuming they were just like dolphins, like most people do, based purely on body design.
