Dates: 2/4/20 - 2/20/20 (took 6 days)

Artist's Notes: Almost forgot to upload this one. I haven't had much time or motivation for drawing lately, which is why this one took so long to complete, but I think I'll be posting a bit more frequently for a little while. Expect another upload within the next few days. Now on to the drawing itself. I've always like Placodus as a child and I still think it's a perfect example of all the weird experimental forms reptiles took on during the Triassic period. I tried to make the integument resemble a marine iguana and gave it additional osteoderms as I don't think it would have been likely for Placodus to have only one row along its back. In retrospect I don't think I should have given this guy a tail fin, as far as I can tell there is no evidence for one, but I have seen it in a lot of other reconstructions. Also, yet another Permian/Triassic creature with a third eye.
