Description

Challenging viewers to identify this. Be mindful that this IS art, it is not intended to be a perfect rendering, and thus some generalities may come close. It may merely approximate something, and thus not actually BE a specific species. It IS a reptile, however.

(I decided to compose this primarily through cross-hatching, a technique used in the Russian and Chinese schools, and somewhat in various European arenas.)

Update: Thanks to responders: I have posted the answer on my blog: [link] But just to let you guys know ... It's a rhynchosaur! Not what you might expect at first glance. Flesh around the head of odd skulls may obscure details such as beak-like features, or even add swaths of flesh around the head and make what looks like a deranged cross-bill cross-bred with a toothless lizard into something ... normal looking.

It is a cryptid? Kind of like a Bunyip. But if it's real, then I don't know.
