For _Pterodactylus kochi_, it's the result of a personal interpretation (and
some discussions) about the skull of this specimen:

For _Germanodactylus_, the shape of the crest is based on this skull:

Warning: the shape of the body and the orientation of the legs of the
pterosaurs in this drawing might be inaccurate.
