This creature was most closely related to tuataras?

It is always fascinating to be reminded of just how many types appear to have experimented with a niche & body-plan quite comparable to those of the modern crocodile - it really does leave you with a certain admiration for the "True" Crocodilians apparent success in muscling out all that competition for the same ecological racket!
Concerning the illustration itself, I love the way you have captured the animal's environment with little more than that fittingly-murky green backdrop and one also admires the detailed texture of this creature's skin, which help convince us that this is NOT a "true" crocodile (despite the strong resemblance).

true on all accounts. the crocodilian platform has proven to be a very versatile semi- aquatic body plan. and the fact that their ancestry still stems to modern day is a testament to that
thank you

One hopes that you will someday use them again, as they would seem to have helped make this an especially splendid image.
