I like feathered dinosaurs.
And no, I don't know one bit about plesiosaurs. I can't distinguish from one another.
I secretly want them to give us more Therizinosaurs, more Hadrosaurs, and more Thyreophora.

I can ;D I'm sure you know more than you think - if given pictures of a Kronosaurus, Rhomaleosaurus, Elasmosaurus, Cryptoclidus, Dolychorhynchops and a Plesiosaurus, you would certainly be able to see the difference, even if you were unable to assign them the correct names (you probably could). If not, then shame on you! and go and visit my website: www.plesiosauria.comWe don't take kindly to plesiosaurism around these parts ;D

I could tell them apart, to say the least. But I find many to be sooo similar, And there aren't many skeletal galleries around for me to look at them. I'm gonna draw a Macroplata and post it on DA soon.

I'm gonna draw a Macroplata and post it on DA soon. Sounds interesting. Why Macroplata? There is a lot of confusion surrounding this genus. The only valid species is the holotype: M. tenuiceps. In 1940 Theo White allocated Plesiosaurus longirostris a thin-snouted plesiosaur, to the genus Macroplata (M. longirostris), without any justification. Recent analyses show that P. longirostris does not belong to Macroplata. Were you thinking of drawing M. longirostris?

Probably. I just like the name. Macroplata! Then what's a good...valid Pliosaur to draw?

I'm referring to the Liopleurodon and all forms of Sauropterygia. I'd find it a rude term, though. These aren't fish. It's like...calling dinosaurs "scalies" or something derogatory. Yes. I consider scalies to be derogatory for dinosauria. I do wish there was more variation among sea reptiles. But they're all so similar, they can always be generic for other species. I mean, Elasmosaurus can always be Muraenosaurus...However, they haven't given us any true Pliosaurids, like Peloneustes or Macroplata. I'd welcome those. *cough* Heretic *cough cough* Impending ban *cough* ;D

Now I'm interested in sea reptiles, no thanks to you guys! *goes and searches and obsesses* Rhomaleosaurus, eh? At least it's a complete skeleton. That won't be hard to draw.

If you do draw a Rhomaleosaurus (that would be great!) then I will add that artwork category you suggested to the forum so you can post it for us all to see! Glad you came to your senses and realised the awesomeness of sea dragons

Sauropods are better. Neiner neiner! Yes. Rhomaleosaurus, Dolichorynchops and Macroplata ('Coz I like the name) will be coming eventually. Thing is, I'm pretty inexperienced at drawing these filthy things. But I'll make you proud. What kind of texture would they have? Totally smooth, or scaly like amphibious reptiles?

The very scanty evidence (some slight, and unconvincing soft tissue impressions) seems to indicate quite smooth skin, but really there is no convincing evidence for plesiosaur skin texture. I wouldn't be surprised if they were covered is smooth, but distinct scales, and of course, don't forget the parasites and fin rot

My aim is to do one that is healthy...
Expect him tonight or tomorrow night.

Nice Reviews!
Hey, Dr. Admin, would you like reviews of the Schleich Saltasaurus and the Battat Amargasaurus with pictures?
