Description So, in my gallery now have a temnospondylian, yeeesss! This is Parotosuchus orenburgensis, temnospondylian from the Early Triassic of Russia. Parotosuchus is the predator with the size of an average crocodile.

And, finally, I can get rid of the problems with color distortion. Yes, this is not scanned work, but the photo, processed in Photoshop.

This work is done with black ballpoint pen and watercolors. It is a useful experience in the reconstruction of the integument of extinct amphibians, I hope.

EDIT: Added black-grey-white gradient in Photoshop.
