Description
The carcass of what was once a giant specimen of Shastasaurid floats across the ocean, decomposing while several opportunistic predators such as hybodontids sharks, nothosaurids and a type of ichthyosaurid known as Thalattoarchon take the mouthfuls of the titanic corpse...Related content

Reminds me of that video where sharks and crocodiles were filmed feeding together on a floating humpback whale carcass.

That was actually the inspiration

For them in the surface and many others critters on the depths after it sink

Splendid work. The art piece looks really stunning.
Also the shastasaurid looks quite grand, even though it's a floating carcass.

Eventually... probably like the current whales the great ichthyosaurs carcass generated many decomposition gases that kept them afloat for a while

I think the gases formed by decomposition could be keeping it afloat.

But then why do whale drops occur

Eventually the gas escapes and can't keep the carcass floating, so it sinks.

this is quite good, but i just wanted to bring forth a comparison
this seems relatively similar to something i drew earlier this year, and i was wondering if there was any inspiration:
there almost certainly isn't (this is a pretty standard/common angle for oceanic life), but the setting, time period and angle all seem very similar.
that all being said, please do let me know if I'm just being weird here

Well the actual inspiration came out from actual whale carcasses which sometimes are seen from up, more specifically a sighting of a whale carcass being devoured by a crocodile and a shark

as i expected it was not the case, but I was a bit curious
