*nemo-ramjet commented that a lot of my pterosaur pictures look like those classic paintings of WW2 fighters. So I decided to go the whole hog!
Anyway, the pterosaur is Tropeognathus mesembrinus, with the body modeled on Anhanguera. I've gone with my more customary "Cunningham" membrane configuration, which looks pretty sweet on these guys.

You do mean Ornithocheirus mesembrinus, no?
Nomenclatural pedantics aside, this is completely awesome. I like the minute details in the wing structure that can be seen. I really need to gain a better foothold on the newly-published nuances of pterosaur musculature and wing anatomy before I can hold my head up among the other pterosaur people out there.
