Pretty cool, although I think you missed some opportunities on using the crest and pycnofibers for some great camo of display

Maybe not all depictions of prehistoric life have to be "innovative" or "wow, this is cool speculation", simple or conservative compositions are just as good, and often better than crazy displays or behavior.

Yep, and I agree on that when it comes to iguanodonts, megalosaurs, tyrannosaurs or similarily "basic" stuff. But Hatzegopteryx is a crazy animal.

Yeah, it's already crazy enough without weird integument, colours and other soft tissues distracting people from the "core animal".

Pterosaur proportions are so ridiculous i love them.

Large pterosaurs are some of the least flattering looking creatures to ever walk/fly the earth, buncha freakshows
In contrast, the small ones are adorable

Earlier this year a paper by Darren Naish and Mark Witton was published describing a short neck vertebra of Hatzegopteryx.

New study came out: it didn't have a long neck
