Today, paleoart is a globally-recognized genre of scientific art, and has been the subject of international contests and awards, galleries, and a variety of books and other merchandise. Related terms are life restoration (or life reconstruction) and in-vivo restoration (or in-vivo reconstruction). [7]
Subsequent to its publication, All Yesterdays has proven influential on the modern culture of palaeoart. [1] The book and its associated concepts have sometimes appeared in publications covering the nature, history, and 'best practices' of palaeoart, particularly in the context of emphasizing the need for modern depictions of dinosaurs to be consistent with how living animals look and behave.

The head specifically is most obviously a mix of the two, I can understand if this is too speculative however.
Hippopotamus gorgops is known from remains found across Northern and Eastern Africa, spanning from Early Pleistocene, at or shortly after 2 million years ago, to the latest Early Pleistocene-early Middle Pleistocene, around 1-0.5 million years ago.
The name Whippomorpha is a combination of Ancient Greek and Latin (w[water] + hippo[horse]) and μορφή (morphē), meaning "living being". [2] Some attempts have been made to rename the suborder Cetancodonta, due to the misleading utilization of the suffix -morpha for a crown group, [6] as well as the risk of confusion with the clade Hippomorpha (which consists of equid perissodactyls); [7 ...
