Butch (Ferrodraco lentoni)
My third ever bit of scientific-ish art. Honoured to have been asked to illustrate this hugely important Australian Pterosaur for its oesteology paper published in the Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology. You can find the paper here: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/02724634.2021.2038182
P.S. I think Nessie is fairly obvious in this one, but you be the judge.
