Description
The jury’s still out on whether it was an obligate quadruped, so this is just a speculative posture, with Spino standing to get a better vantage point.The pose and colouration were inspired by a Great Auk.
MISTAKES that have been noted (by others & myself):
- posture should be more horizontal
- nostril extend too far
- the length of fingers on the hands should be clarified
- diastema of upper jaw should be lengthened
I learn more with every illustration!

Hahaha, some names are quite funny or weird. There are some animal names (including the extant animals) which was quite different. When i pronounced them, it seemed like iam chewing something.. Lol

Indeed.
I think it's both; I mean why somebody would name a squid as;
'' Wunderpus photogenicus '' or a fly as '' Parastratiosphecomyia sphecomyioides '' -(longest Latin name)
