Description
Pterosaurs are my favorite dino-adjacent prehistoric animals.They were literally fireless dragons and there is nothing better than that.
*DISCLAIMER: This is OBVIOUSLY VERY SPECULATIVE, and in many ways is more fantastical than paleontological. I'm well aware of the "inaccuracies" but nevertheless here it is, the Quetzacoatlus.Β

This pterosaur is colossal!
I never imagined how big these type of dinosaurs could be.

It's a pterosaur, not a dinosaur.

You keep saying more fantastical then paleontological, but while yes they dont have evidence, there is also nothing inaccurate or wrong about it, since there is also no evidence against it.Β

Quetzalcoatlus is probably the closest thing we've ever had to a real dragon. A MASSIVE flying reptile the size of a giraffe. The only thing missing it fire breath.

Reminds me of David Peters' reconstructions (except he is, shall we say, a bit crazy with his support for bipedal launch and the fact that he dreams up evidence in photoshop).

ahh man, your pterosaurs are so super gorgeous ; v ;
who cares about scientific inaccuracies lmao its art \o v o/
if you're interested though you should totally check out the recently discovered Yi Qi! its not a pterosaur, but its name literally means "strange wing," and you'll understand why when you see how completely ridiculous it is lmao. but its so cool i cant help but love it ahh

And as usual, an actual paleontologist has beat me to it.

I also always thought Pterosaurs were like realistic dragons. Seriously, riding one of those suckers back then would have been amazing. Beautiful details in the feet and crest. I love how the environment just fits with this guy.Β

It's funny even with the inaccuracies (which I know we're intentional) your drawings still miles more accurate that something you'd see in ARK or Jurassic World

I think it looks great! The artistic mind behind it is awesome!

This specimen has a lot of inaccuracies... For example, tibia and fibula are too short and the feet are too large, almost digitigrade when they should be plantigrade. The tail is too long, Quetzalcoatlus' was as short as a bird one and probably covered entirely on a coat of hair-like filaments. The head is small in comparison with its body, it should reach twice the size of the torso. The fingers should look like a vestigial organ whose claws were weaker or almost missing. The eyes are wrongly located, but that must be due to the bad proportions of its head. The pteroid is nowhere to be seen and logically there should be tissue attached to it. And finally it's skin wrapped.
I suppose you want to make it look like a fantasy/monster creature because it's your style and intention and I understand. But this is not a Quetzalcoatlus, just something vaguely inspired on itΒ Β

Don't forget the fingers should be twisted backwards!

Thanks for all the great info. Like I said in my description this was not meant to be a "scientifically accurate" rendering. It was meant to be on the fantastical. It was deliberate fantasy rendition. As you can see from my other work I'm not nor do identify as a paleo artist. but thanks anyways.Β

OMG THIS IS MY FAVORITE TYPE OF DINOSAUR I KNOW ALL ABOUT THAT THANK YOU SO MUCH

Oh whatever that's true since its kinda bird like but it's kinda my favorite extinct animal I guess. Maybe I don't know EVERYTHING about it.

Though at least being a bit more interested in the own favourite animals would be noice.

It's not a dinosaur, it's a relative of dinosaurs. Think of it kinda like a distant cousin.

Images of Pterosaurs galloping are among my favorite things on this planet. Thank you kind one for bestowing this raditude upon us all.

I'm so glad dinosaurs aren't alive today, could you imagine one of those running at you? Stuff that XD

Afters looking up the size and learning that thay might had a wingspan from up to 13m, I totally agree that I don't want one of them running at me but I would love to see one anyway.

Their wings are nothing to worry about, their beak would be the real danger. I think humans would have to live in caves and underground if such creatures still existed.

2m long beaks after all! They were like spears!
Not to mention, that those pterosaurs were as tall as giraffes, towering above most dinosaurs in their environment...

Those poor dinosaurs

I doubt we would have evolved if Dinosaurs never went extinct.
