Description A piece I managed to work up during Mosasaur Week, in this case a render of Platecarpus tympaniticus, which was present in The Western Interior Seaway during the late Cretaceous. I wanted to stick to the usual dark on top and light underneath countershading template, but introduce some interesting patterns - potentially something that might have been present in smaller more vulnerable juveniles. In this case I used Zebra shark markings for inspiration - not trout I promise! Although the patterns are actually very similar. To help with the lighting I used a shark clip from the documentary 'Our Planet'.
