wow, it's Shonisaurus, the giant Triassic ichthyosaur!
fantastical drawing of Shonisaurus, an ichthyosaur (ancient marine reptile visually similar to a dolphin, but with four flippers). The Shonisaurus is covered in colored squares like a quilt, in varying tones of purple, blue, and orange. there is a speech bubble with the following in black handwritten text: "It doesn't matter to the companies whether any of their new AI tools help you. AI tools are not meant to help you. AI tools are meant to attract investors. Remember who fights and who capitulates."

Shonisaurus and Gerrothorax are an ancient reptile and amphibian from the Late Triassic. Shonisaurus was one of the largest marine reptiles of all time, measuring almost 70 ft long! Due to its eye placement, Gerrothorax could only look upwards.

I had a lovely chat with @deanrlomax.bsky.social this morning, which reminded me of this piece I wrote about Shonisaurus! The big "fish lizard" wasn't a gentle filter feeder. Think more Triassic orca.

Love how this relief (sculpted by William Huff) of Shonisaurus at Berlin-Ichthyosaur State Park actually has teeth.

Shonisaurus wasn’t just enormous, it was essentially a reptilian blimp! This wasn’t just Kirk’s doing and the blimp-Shonisaurus was present in most art of the animal until surprisingly recently. As a kid, I loved imagining it cruising through black abyssal waters, like some ethereal sea god. (4/17)
A colossal brown-gray Shonisaurus with a deep, blimp-shaped body. Its simple colouration is livened by a subtle dappled patterning to the skin.

A Triassic whale, before there were whales. Concept sketch of the huge Shonisaurus popularis. This was done as a request of patron Leelan Lampkins

As a Patron in certain tiers you can suggest a species for me to sketch like this every three months www.patreon.com/serpenillus

Concept sketch showing two Shonisaurus popularis swimming. The one in the foreground is approaching the surface to breath and we see it from below. The one in the background is swimming towards the viewer. A school of fish swims in front of the Ichthyosaur in the foreground.

Shonisaurus were one of the largest species of ichthyosaurs known to date, measuring between 14 to 15 meters long, they represent the peak of the dominance of ichthyosaurs on the sea during the late Triassic. Art by me #sciart #paleoart 🐡
The art depicts one large shonisaurus and one smaller one, presumably its offspring, they're large marine reptiles with a body shape similar to that of a shark or a dolphin with very large snouts and pointy teeth, they have a proportionately big and round body.
