Digital cel-shaded artwork of a longisquama, a little lizard with big showy skin frills on its back. I have drawn this to the best of my understanding, which is that the frills are vaguely feather-shaped, fanning out like a peacock’s tail except vertically, down the lizard’s spine. The frills are not feathers, though; they are made of colorful skin. The lizard’s body is yellow with brown skink striping, and the frills are a riot of blues, reds, yellows, and browns. Longisquama is posed aggressively inflating its spiky dewlap on an isometric chunk of tree, tail ready to whip anyone who dares deny its majesty. After all, the smaller you are, the meaner you gotta be to survive the Triassic (which it did not survive, at all, that we know of). Watermark: http://hmcgill.art
