Thank you! It’s fun to draw all sorts of lines of action with tails. Mainly just the head, tail shape and streamline body are remnants of the aquatic ancestors. After I posted this, I came up with more detailed explanation of the evolutionary lineage https://pastebin.com/3v1RSEh2
I just liked the idea of starting as a semi-aquatic to explain some of the reptilian features, and later found out it is speculated that semi-aquatic otter or shrew like creatures could have survived K-Pg extinction event (the big asteroid impact). That’s where I decided that this species would have branched off 100-70 million years ago.
Thanks! It’s a fine balance and overdoing it results garbled mess or entirely corrupted file. Every file format acts differently so there’s lot of trial and error.
