Barosaurus lentus
Watercolour, colour pencil. 2023.This is a highly speculative reconstruction of the animal, and as such many details are fabricated.
A sauropod closely related to Diplodocus, which had an extremely long tail and neck - this distorted perspective masks the true length of of the animal’s anatomy. The bombastic colouration and fleshy neck frill was inspired by the suggestion that these incredible necks could have held more weight than initially thought - though, I cannot find the source of this claim and this interpretation is unlikely to be realistic!
