Early sauropodomorphs # 1 (Patreon)

I'm still here -- I've just been totally snowed with so much work. Work on The Big Book is coming along (still in birds), though I haven't had the chance to draw much lately. Non-sauropod sauropodomorphs are one of the groups I need to cover, and here are some additions: Massospondylus and Yunnanosaurus. They're not drawn to scale, since the latter is more than twice the size of the former. 

Both were illustrated by taking measurements from the skeletals of Scott Hartman and Greg Paul and then adding appropriate details from the primary literature. The tail spines of the Massospondylus are totally speculative but added because I don't want all my sauropodomorphs to look equally plain! Its colour scheme/pattern was inspired by that of some mastigures. I opted to be plain and boring on the yunnanosaur and didn't do anything interesting except add some large dorsal scales to the tail - I also deliberately made the limbs dark (and kept the claws pale), the idea being that these parts of the body might look especially prominent for reasons of display and intimidation.

I'll do a few more and then compile a montage. Plateosaurus and Buriolestes have been done previously. Next, I need a thecodontosaur and melanorosaur.
