Extinct baleen whale (†Cetotherium riabinina)

Looking at the full skeleton of (†Cetotherium riabinina) it seemed to of had long arms, so I did them here like the flippers of an humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae). Or this could be wronge? and that the whale may have been fatter with smaller flippers? When I draw extinct life forms I always look at the skeletons and fossils.
