Description
¡Y continuamos con los monstruos marinos!
Aunque en éste caso parece haber sido de agua dulce.Heterosteus fue un pez placodermo gigante que vivió en el Devónico, y alcanzaba hasta seis metros de longitud. Su cuerpo era relativamente aplanado y tenía curiosos ojos situados al final de pedúnculos. Es posible que haya cazado cerca del fondo o incluso enterrado en el mismo.
And we continue with the sea monsters!
Although this one seems to have lived in freshwater.Heterosteus was a gigantic placoderm fish that lived during the Devonian and could grow up to six meters long. It had a relatively flattened body and had curious eyes at the end of stalk-like projections. It is possible that it hunted near the bottom or even buried in it.

I'm just waiting to see either Helicoprion, Atopodentatus, Elasmosaurus, Falcatus, Pterygotus, or Titanicthys

Maybe Onchopristis and Metriorhynchus as well

¿Sería posible ver a Prionosuchus? fue el mayor anfibio que ya existió. Vive durante el Período Permiano (hace unos 270 millones de años) en el lugar donde hoy se encuentra el noreste de Brasil. Ese "animalito" tenía sólo nueve metros de largo

From that view this fish, it looks like a wobbegong shark.

¿Que restos se tiene para saber que media tanto? Se me hace raro un placodermo gigante que no sea famoso como Dunkleosteus o Titanichthys. De todas maneras un excelente dibujo

Gracias
No estoy seguro de qué tanto se encontró de la especie gigante. Supongo que no llamó la atención tanto como Dunkleosteus porque es mas bizarro que espeluznante...

Nice to see old Dunk the Diver taking it easy for one; that Adrenaline Junkie will be the death of himself! (Not today, though).
I really do love the colour of the water in this illustration; it's wonderfully crystalline and allows us an excellent look at this sea beastie with the wonderfully goggly B-Movie eyes.

It was seemingly a freshwater beastie!

It kinda looks like some crossbreed between a manta ray & a whale shark.

I've heard of this creature, but I had no idea at all that it was this HUGE! Thanks for bringing that to my attention!

The patterns on its body looks like that of the Sailfin Pleco Suckermouth Catfish. Was this intentional or is it just coincidence. From the thumbnail, I thought this was a gigantic prehistoric species of Pleco Catfish haha. Which would be awesome if ever fossils of one are to be discovered since the largest species today are around 27 to 39 inches long which are still pretty huge.

If a gigantic species of prehistoric Pleco/Loricariid catfish really did exist during Earth's past, I reckon they might jhave evolved to a larger size as defense against giant crocodilians. I've read they already existed at the same time as Purussaurus and that fossils of this fish are rather rare so a hypothetical giant pleco catfish is indeed possible.
Also,this hypothetical species might give you ideas in your drawings in the future hehe.

A gigantic prehistoric pleco would probably be a tough cookie to crack if seized in the jaws of any giant crocodilian.Aside from their armor plating, they also have those spikes on the dorsal and pectoral fins as well as spikes located under each I. As someone who once owned a pleco,being stuck by those spines is not a pleasant experience. The one I had was a small specimen but it still hurt like hell haha.

Same here; 'thought at first that this is a mini-whaleshark. (We did have mini-seals and mini-penguins before.)

Probably rather shallow water.
