Description A large Marshosaurus mother with two juveniles almost ready to leave walk through a gallery forest close to a river in the late jurassic morrison formation 155 million years ago.
A few carnivorous rhamphoryncoid pterosaurs (this one in particular is based on Harpactognathus) Β soar above their heads, hunting smaller pterosaurs and insects.
The air is hot and humid, and the forest flood is covered with primitive horsetail-plants, and small cycads, but no flowering plants.

Marshosaurus bicentesimus'' was a medium-sized megalosauroid that lived in the late-jurassic north america.
Length: ~4,5 m
weight: ~200 kg
By modern day standards, it was a very big carnivore, but in the morisson formation it was far from being the apex predator, with much larger carnivores such as Allosaurus, Torvosaurus and Ceratosaurus present.
I have given it primitive stage 1-2 feathers because it possibly is a basal condition for theropoda, or even dinosauria.
The patterns on the juveniles are inspired by baby ratites.

Harpactognathus was a large rhamphoryncoid that had a 2.5 meters wingspan, but only weighed ~1.5 kg.
Considering it's teeth it probably hunted smaller pterosaurs, insects and maybe occasionally fish.

OK thanks, but I don't mind requests either, so feel free to ask anytime.
For colour: let your creativity loose (as long as it's plausible).

I really like the background detailing.
I think details are like "eye candy" to the viewer.
Keep up the great work! Β
