Titanosaur skulls

Hello! Titanosaur skeletons are often very incomplete and the heads are even rarer. So my question is; what is the best skull material to base the heads of argentinosaurs or dreadnoughtus off of? How about a Malawisaurus style skull?

The primary example of a titanosaur skull I can think of is Nemegtosaurus (which is interestingly enough only known from the skull!). However it would appear that neither Malawisaurus nor Nemegtosaurus is particularly closely related to Argentinosaurus or Dreadnoughtus.

I know of a paleoartist/blogger who illustrates and posts on titanosaurs frequently - maybe perusing their content could be constructive?

Nemegtosaurus and Malawisaurus skulls are very different so it shows there was a lot of variety. Titanosaur seems to be a very broad term. I did save some of his reconstructions thanks! I haven't seen a lot of consistency in argentinosaurs head reconstructions. I guess we just don't know yet :)
