Art by me. I did it to practice my canine anatomy skills. Please give tips and critiques. I hope I did not disappoint!

Context: The Pan-Permian is an alternate timeline from which the Great Dying was less explosive and more drawn out, allowing far more life to survive as they adapted in time.

The family Paralagerpetidae has proven to be one of the most diverse and adaptable groups of the Pan-Permian. In the mid to late Triassic, a branch of Paralagerpetids split into two subtribes from the tribe Draconini. The Anemovanina, or Wyverns, and the Stenodracina, the Drakes. Anemovanis Primuverum is one of the first Wyverns to evolve true, powered flight. A complex nerve system and tactile receptors in the wing membrane allow the dragon to detect minute changes in air pressure and adjust accordingly. The membrane is leathery and resistant to tearing, with a system of tiny muscles to help with wing movement and curvature as well as to support the membrane. Pairs are monogamous, and have clutches of 2-4 eggs. The hatchlings are precocial but are still taught by their parents. After a year, which is when they master flight, the pair chases the young off to establish themselves. They will stay with other juveniles, most likely their nest mates or neighbours, until they inevitably part. When they reach skeletal maturity. They are surprisingly tolerant of each other, with multiple pairs having overlapping territories. Related sisters in the same area will sometimes help with defending the other’s young while the pair hunts if they don’t have hatchlings of their own. They target small dicynodonts and other animals in the size range. Dicynodonts will be discussed soon in the project. The dragons simply grab them and fly off, only dispatching it at the nest or a cliff face depending on whether it is mating season or if the dragon is sexually mature. Males are not violent towards each other during mating season, instead sizing each other up and seeing who has the better display.

Side note, sorry for the infrequent posts. I just went on vacation, and am now heading back to school. I will try to be consistent with my posts though. Thank you.

Creeping through the tunnels is a relic of a fallen empire. 5 million years after the start of The Dying, a sly Banded Weaseldrake, or Drakemustela Banda, slinks through the tunnels of a fossorial dicynodont. Descendants of small gorgonopsians, these fossorial gorgons are one of the last lineages of the gorgon line. They live in the shadows, surviving on whatever organisms they find beneath the surface. They live in small family groups, coming together to rest. They are most often preyed upon at the surface, scooped up by lucky paralagerpetids when they are patient enough. Young weaseldrakes are curious and often exit the holes to look at the surroundings, which is when most predation occurs.

Sphinxes, or Feroinostrancevia Sphinx are the last of the apex predatory gorgonopsians. Sphinxes are specialised ambush apex predators. They are smaller than their ancestor, Inostrancevia. They live solitarily or in mated pairs. They have outlasted their kin, but are now themselves succumbing to the smog. With the fall of the gorgons, comes the dawn of a new empire.

5 million years after what was supposed to be the Great Dying, a figure leaps onto a log. Propedraco Primus is a newly evolved Paralagerpetid, stemming from what would, in our universe, have evolved into the Lagerpetids we know. About the size of a small housecat, Propedraco is not something to fear for most. It is one of the survivors of The Dying (the extinction mentioned above, essentially a less extreme Great Dying). In our universe, if it evolved, it would have faced very less competition. In this one, it faces pressure from other arboreal reptiles, which it also feeds on. However, Paralagerpetids will soon become one of the most dominant predators of this version of Earth.

My first digital pterosaur art! What do ya think? I’ve been eyeing Haliskia for a while now.

My favourite piece of art I’ve ever done on digital. Please give tips and critiques!

As usual, please give critiques and tips!

Not one of my best works but uh…. it turned out fine! Please give me critiques and tips

None other than the legend himself.

Be free to give me some critiques! I’m not really proud of this one, so give me some tips on how to improve!
