Diplodocus muscle anatomy study

Confirmed longboi. Diplodocus and its closest relatives are my favourite sauropods. I think that they have a very cool shape, so picking Diplodocus for my first attempt at a sauropod muscle reconstruction felt like the clear choice.

Primarily this represents Diplodocus carnegii, as that's the most complete of the bunch. But I had to look at the other Diplodocus species as well as closely related diplodocines like Barosaurus and Galeamopus for certain details.
