You made Koskinodon look so graceful here: normally, all of the other depictions of it make it look as dignified as a slimy sack of potatoes.

I just noticed something. You have super powers. That is so cool. Can you fly?

My only criticism of your primitive tetrapod images, is that you give them skin like a salamader. It's well known that many primitive tetrapods had scales and scutes, and it's been pointed out that cutaneous respiration would not work at larger sizes.

Slimy glandular skin is probably restricted to typical amphibians, such as frogs, salamaders, etc, and maybe the amphibamids, who were ancestors of those groups.

Picture is based on photo of skeleton - Buettneria-Koskinodon was relatively graceful with long tail. By the way, Metoposaurus from Poland was also graceful animal.

Are you going to illustrate that one, too?

Yes, it's true for more primitive tetrapods (Carboniferous and Permian, maybe for some Triassic forms). We don't have impressions of skin of metoposaurs. Also scales can be imbedded in soft skin.
