Blog Abandoned
Not really a big surprise, given the update frequency here, but I think I'll declare the blog abandoned. You can follow me on Twitter or Facebook, or visit my new website.

Pteranodon longiceps
The surprisingly pot-bellied Pteranodon longiceps. For a more thorough exploration of aforementioned pot-belliness, check out my post on the Pterosaur.net Blog.

Dead Velociraptor mongoliensis
This Velociraptor is dead. As, in fact, they all are. Based on Scott Hartman's skeletal

Nyctosaurus
For those who don't know, this is the rather spectacular crested Nyctosaurus—a medium-sized pterosaur from the Late Cretaceous. I did picture of this pair a few years back where I put sails on them, to go with the skim-sailing hypothesis that was so hot right then. It's not so hot right now, so this is an un-sailed version (which is based on an old painting I did at the same time, but never uploaded anywhere). I've extended the rear-facing prong somewhat, as it seems there were extra bits that weren't obvious in the original description.

Nemicolopterus crypticus
Aw, what a tweet liddle tweedy bird! I want to snuglylumphs it all up!
The superb little pterosaur Nemicolopterus crypticus, in the trees, like all the restorations out there (hey, at least I went for something other than a ginko!). Based on my skeletal.
