Pteranodon 3D Anatomy Study

"Oh, my God"

"What is it?"

"It's a birdcage"

"For what?"

My 3D anatomical study of a large male Pteranodon longiceps. The skeleton is a generalised composite as per usual with my models, but is scaled to UNSM 50130 (a very large and almost complete wing).

Thanks to Caio Fantini (https://www.artstation.com/caiofantini) for commissioning me to build this one - it was a ton of fun to dive deep into the details of pterosaur anatomy while putting this together.

High resolution, uncompressed versions of the orthographic sheets can be found at the links below.
