Description
One of the Araripe ornithocheiroids, described as Tropeognathus mesembrinus. It was interesting to do a toothed pterosaur lacking a beak. Instead, I went with a more croc-style texture of wide, hard scales covering the snout, including the very long front tooth arcade that leaves deep grooves in the animal's skull.Ref courtesy of Mike Hanson .
Thanks for the snout texture go out to Tomozaurus and Matt Martyniuk .

Tropeognathus ist echt ein klassiker unter dn pterosauriern, man erkent ih immer sofort and den schnabelkΓ€mmen, und die sehen hier echt genial aus, die streifen passen wunderbar, erinnert mich ein bisschen an nen papageientaucher

Is that part of the inside of the mouth visible?

Chunks of the palate and stuff, I guess. According to other reconstructions, yes.

This is so good, man. Strikingly lifelike, and a beautiful animal as usual with your work. Fave'd.

I'm still not 100% sold on this, but let's see. More pterosaury stuff probably coming your way.
