A commission for NemekhS to design the skull of their draconic self, the Golden Sun Dragon!
Definitely a more archosaurian structure to this skull, displaying a very heterodont dental formula with a tendency towards omnivory. Don't let those huge canines fool you completely! The orbits facing forward for binocular vision is another interesting feature. The back sides of the skull are sculpted with tiny muscle scars that show the presence of muscles used to move the earfins.
Thank you so much for letting me play with your cranial/mandibular morphology, Nemekh! I loved it! <3

This makes me look forward to the summer even more, I always travel out to the Royal Tyrell museum with my portable stool in tow, to draw dinosaur bones and hike the badlands! Love them bones.

Aww, I am JEALOUS! I've only been to one piddly little dinosaur museum in Connecticut, and it only really showed trace fossil footprints! A dream of mine is to go to a proper museum that has proper fully-articulated dinosaur skeletons for me to see from almost all angles - I'd bring binoculars and a microscope to take in as much detail as my mortal eyes could stand!! XD

the Royal Tyrell is world reknowned, since it's located in a hole in the ground in Alberta, where fossils are literally wherever you walk. I was wandering in the badlands and saw half a fossilized trunk sticking out of a small boulder, there's just too much for them to collect here, so they leave most of it around and only go after the very rare stuff.

That's outstanding, truly - it sounds amazing!

Lovely work. Would make a great paperweight/desktop ornament.
