Description
The odd double curve in the tail seems to be there (in fact, I've relaxed it somewhat), although it's possible the bones could be distorted. Otherwise, it looks a lot like a brachiosaur trying to be a titanosaur...which isn't all that crazy when you consider Malawisaurus's phylogenetic position.
My skull reconstruction differs a bit from the one published in the original paper, for the usual reasons (the bones don't actually match the bone outlines in the original reconstruction).
Edit: Technically just updates to the silhouette, but given the peculiar vertebral anatomy of Malawisaurus (the tall withers and the gracile cervicals) I've decided to embrace the hypertrophied nuchal ligaments suggested by it. As a result the outline of the animal is more of an update than most for artists.

Edit2: Changed the pose and made some slight musculature updates in anticipation of...something.
