Description
Baryonyx walkeri rests crocodilian-style on the sandy shore of a deep pond, soaking up some solar radiation on an overcast day. I know that dinosaurs were warm blooded, but homeothermic animals enjoy external sources of heat too, and given the similar niches between spinosaurs and crocodilians, I can easily imagine them sitting on the shore like this soaking up some sun, especially on a day where the temperature wasn't optimal.

I decided to use minimal shading here, because of the overcast weather condition depicted. This is one of the few times I've colored water without using blue of any kind. I was worried it would be difficult, but it wasn't too bad after I found a good reference.
