Skink montage # 1 (Patreon)

I've said in recent posts that I'll be drawing representatives of all the skink groups. Remember that we tend think of reptile groups like 'skinks' as 'a single group', but there are over 1000 species, with a record going back to the Cretaceous, and easily enough diversity for several 'families'. Anyway, I've made a start, and the four animals shown here depict four 'family-level' lineages. 1: Mabuya, of Mabuyidae. 2: Acontias, of Acontidae (I think it should really be Acontiidae). 3: Ristella, of Ristellidae. 4. Scincus, of Scincidae. There are a bunch more to come, including some of the real weirdo, extreme skinks!

All of these animals were drawn from photos. 

I said the previous image would be the last one before the New Year, but I broke my rule by staying up late last night...

Best wishes and hope you like my newest lizards :)
