A Quick Edaphosaurus

Description

Not a particularly speedy Edaphosaurus, that is, but a none too neatly detailed Edaphosaurus I did rather quickly to try out an idea I had for sailbacked pelycosaur coloration. Originally I was going to make it a Dimetrodon, but then I realized the colors might not make a lot of sense for an apex predator. As a result the sail is highly speculative what with the base of the spines buried in muscle and the tips free from the sail (inspired by the way a lot of Edaphosaurus spines seem to be missing the tip, although this could be postmortem breakage).

Coloration bears a resemblance to the Dimetrodon for Permia....
