@varanidguy thanks! I haven't sketched my monitors for a fair while. When I finish this croc book I'm hoping to do a few monitor illustrations. A number of years ago I used to illustrate professionally.
-
@crocdoc2 Wow, you have talent, sir. Have you done any of these sketches for your V. varius or any other monitor species?
-
@whiteyr44 thanks! The book is on crocodilian biology (I'm illustrating but not writing it), with a chapter on evolution that includes a few extinct closely related groups.
The mosasaurs were squamates, which is a completely separate branch of reptile evolution. Archosaurs were an ancient group of reptiles that gave rise to the dinosaurs, pterosaurs and crocodilians.

@varanidguy I'm not quite sure as I didn't time it, but I'm guessing a couple of hours?

Spore Epic Deinosuchus VS Postosuchusby JadeElf16,805 views
Kinda looks like Postosuchus, one of my all time favorite critters! Have you tried you hand at sculpting yet? I actually done a few you may like: a 1/3 scale velociraptor, and a 1/1 scale (raptor) foot. The scetch is amazing, and its always nice to see an artist represent these animals as acutal animals, and not snarling monsters. Good job dave!

@slippy441 well spotted - it IS Postosuchus! I love sculpting but I have done very little of it and haven't sculpted in years. It's funny you should mention it, though, as it's come up in conversations with two mates of mine (independently, as they don't know each other) in recent weeks.
Oh, and thanks!

@crocdoc2 I tend to believe drawing sort of keeps your scultping abilities from degrading to a degree. Perhaps it keeps your hands and eyes accustomed to reproducing whats in your mind's eye, regardless of media. Oh, snd Skittles made a full recovery from his "closed-mouth" issue and is now officially big enough to be a pain in the ass to lug around at a rhino-like 5ft 9in (1yr old). How are the lacies?

@slippy441 the lace monitors are well. They're slowly going into winter brumation at the moment.

@crocdoc2 Excellent. Say, I copy and pasted your "squirrel analogy" to illustrate why its a good idea to refrain from handling baby monitors on a reptile forum (herp center network). I know you put it out there for for the public benefit of new keepers but I probably should have asked for permission anyway. Do you mind at all? I made sure to mention that credit goes to you for the writeup.

@slippy441 no problem at all.
