It's quite sad that he passed away. I never heard any details on his passing, though.

When I wake it's kaleidoscopic mind...
I never meant to hurt you,
I never meant to lie,
So this is goodbye...
This is goodbye." -Porcelain by Moby

Metriorhynchoid/mosasauroid ... similar bauplans, different organisms. And yes, it was designed to be a mosasaur.

The skull is being overemphasized here in size a bit, which may be causing the body to seem smaller. So too the perspective.

I believe this is the first time you have drawn a mosasaur, right?

Not quite. I've drawn his skull before, and no one's seen the other sketches.
