Description
A new morning, 270 million years ago, early perm: The first sunshines are breaking throughthe vegetation, and wake up a big, adult, male Dimetrodon limbatus. The big pelycosaur, yawns and moves its sail toward the sun to get his body warm and ready for hunting prey. Dimetrodon was the biggest land predator of its time and his spectacular sail helped it to warm his body in the morning much faster than other reptiles. Dimetrodon ,which means two measures of teeth had 2 types of teeth: big and strong canines, and smallr teeth that were ideal for cutting. The biggest species of dimetrodon could grow up to 3,5 metres in length and had a weight of ca 250 kg. Dimetrodon was a fierce carnivore and was present in many areas of the planet.

This is so far my best picture, it has so many badass looking details like the many plants, the little scales on the dimetrodon and the little lizard in the left corner. The dimetrodon is anatomically correct drawn , I even counted every single spine to make the sail structure acurate. Unfortunately the skeleton I used as reference didnt show the secies name but the shape of the sail looked like that of D. limbatus.
