Fuzzy Saturnalia

Description

I don't know if anyone ever did a fully feathered/fuzzy sauropodomorph on dA already (I only know of sauropods with bristles or rooster necks), but however, I did now. It's a Saturnalia, done by tracking out Jaime Headden's skeletal drawing. Feathers or not, Saturnalia might have made a weird life impression. 

With this drawing I do not imply that I think a fully or partly fuzzy Saturnalia is more likely than a only scaly one (note that my Saturnalia still has scutes between the filaments). For that, I am still waiting for evidence for fuzzy integument in a basal theropod or saurischian. Until that, I'd say the propability is 50/50 for both states.

Ah, the best of the sauropodomorphs. I know Dinostavros did one, and I did one on tumblr for a secret santa thing (shpu-link).
