other basal pterosaurs seem to show strong evidence of having full fledge ptero- fuzz. and the type specimen did have indications of pycnofibres. so it's indeed a possibility the wings would of been covered along with the body.

That's neat. I think the fuzzy wings make it look cool.

I really like the all-over furriness you've applied to this restoration. It's something I've often wondered about for pterosaurs.

thanks. and I too often wonder about it. it does seem to be a commen trait in early, basal pterosaurs. and I do recall that reading about this pterosaur, it did have some pterofuzz as well as indications of a stripe like pattern. I applied that to the drawing.
