Description
Just a quick sketch. A pair of lazy Dimetrodon. I want to try something different this time, so they are "acting" (doing nothing hehehehe), instead of being a flat, rigid study as I usually do. ^^Related content

Well they are synapsids, which is a reptile with mammalian features.

Yes, J. Michael is right. Dimetrodon is a mammal-like reptile.

Great job. I especially like the pose of the one in back. I've seen my bearded dragon do the exact same thing.

Me encanta tu estilo. Y este dibujo me flipó desde que lo vi en el concurso del Paleofreak. Me quito el sombrero!

Gracias. Tu eres "El Bichólogo Errante", entonces? Encantado de verte por aquí.
Y este dibujo a mí me gusta bastante, porque no suelo dibujar actitudes naturales en mis bichos (me falta mucha práctica antes de atreverme), pero fue divertido de hacer.

Enhorabuena, has conseguido un buen *buenisimo* modelo de perspectiva en profundidad, tu punto debil. Alguno tenias que tener, hombre xDDDD.
Estoy en un pc de la uni sin simbolos. Ten misericordia xDDDD.
HAN ACEPTADO NUESTRO CLAIM! *baila la danza de la lluvia*. Ya tenemos nuestra propia tabla, puedes pegarla tu tbn donde quieras. Fanart50 con Pendergast, alla vamos! xDDD.

*buenísimo*?? perspectiva?? yo? términos no compatibles me temo... xDD
Y no sé de donde voy a sacar tiempo para dibujar fanarts... T.T, pero en algun rato muerto q me pilles en la uni, nos ponemos a dibujar los dos (despues de exámenes).
Y enhorabuena por el claim!

This is fantastic! My boyfriend's leopard gecko sleeps exactly like that... maybe she wishes she was a synapsid?

jejeje... intentanto con linajes no dinosaurianos? preciosos! ambos! me han encantado! entiendo lo que dices al plantear que hay que intentar variacion en la postura lateral... yo deberia hacerlo tambien... pero me cuesta tanto!!!!!!!!!
Un comentario (no critica): el que esta atras... yo imaginaria que al acostarse, el antebrazo apuntaria hacia adelante, mas como lo tiene el amigo que esta de frente. No se, desconozco de la capacidad de articulacion del brazo de Dimetrodon

Gracias Ezequiel!
Lo del brazo... bueno, se lo hice así porque hoy día muchos cocodrilos y varanos grandes se tumban de ese modo. Me gustó la postura y la adapté para Dimetrodon

ah! no tenia idea que los cocodrilos se echaran una siesta de esa manera! jajaja... perfecto entonces!

You have my anbridled applause for not giving them scales
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
:-D I have to say that I think they probably had some kind of scales, but tiny ones, so they aren't visible at the scale I used for the draw
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's abit controversial as to wether they actually had scales or not, I think.
They're closer to mammals than conventional reptiles, and other synapsids from the later permian (one from russia) have been found to have glandular, bald skin, shown by impressions in the fossils.
So perhaps (granted, dimetrodon is more basal) giving them a bumpy, glandular skin starting to lose the scaly look, like on the paws of cats and dogs? Then again, some rats have scaly tails, and armadillos have scaly(ish) skin where there's no armour, so scales are still feasible enough.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I think they shouldn't be scaled as living reptiles too, but a smooth scalyish skin, not glandular yet, is maybe the more logical choice, since they are quite basal.
A glandular skin would appear for termorregulation, if I'm not wrong, and that's come after the animal have a high metabolism rate ("hot blooded"). Probably synapsids from late Permian have that kind of metabolism: many of them seems to be active hunters (gorgonopsians, cynodonts, etc.).
Dimetrodon, in the other side, have that high sail in the back, probably for termorregulation, so glandular skin maybe hadn't appeared yet, at least in sailed pelycosaurs.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah, hadn't considered that. Dimetrodon was a cold-blood, most likely, at least according to Bakker. So, I suppose the early permian synapsids may have had scales, if they were cold-blooded. After all, you may as well have tough skin if there's no glands.
Considering that, maybe the glandular skin came in around the time of Biarmosuchus and Eotitanosuchus, when they showed a more warm-blood "look".
Thanks for the discussion, I really hadn't thought about it like that 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Than you too for the discussion, it has been very constructive.
About fur, this is just speculation, but I like to think that Permian glaciation was a good reason to develop fur.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Indeed. That would make sense. Perhaps in the days of dinocephalians and dicynodonts.

Wonderful, guy! I like the lines... they are so natural and free! Very nice!

Thanks! I'm really glad you like it :-D

Awesome! I love the poses, they look very natural, and the colors you chose for the Dimetrodons too

Gracias! qué opinas de la iluminación de la escena? es mi gran lacra y creo que no acabo de ajustarla bien.

awww I want one!!!! thats one big fat and happy dino.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
^^ remember this is not a dino, it's a pelicosaur, early relative of mammal lineage.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
XD duly noted. it didn't look like a dino.. more like a large adorable puppy.

I like this. Dimetrodons are usually drawn in a standard, walking or standing pose...it's nice to see them doing something else. Everyone's gotta take 5 now & then, after all!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks, since I usually draw in standard standing pose, I want to show myself I can do something different. ^^

Yo casi que lo llamaría más que esbozo, jejeje. No es justo tener competidores tan buenos!!!
Un saludo!

Very cool... To think that they weren't dinosaurs...

Of course, there are many cool non dinosaurian prehistoric beasts
