Description Image for Kessrapteryx over at the Dinosaur exchange.
She wanted an image with lots of vines so hopefully this qualifies!

Oh wow, this has fantastic lighting, and I really like the texture on the dino's body.

Maybe look up some pachycephalosaur anatomy before you draw one? Plz?

its the first time I drew this particular dinosaur, using some weak references so I am aware it is not 100% accurate. I was going for a more cartoony feel with this one.

I just found this again and wanted to apologize if I sounded like a dick when attempting to be constructive.

Instead of being a dick, maybe, just MAYBE you could offer helpful tips? Like exactly what they should do to fix the image?

I did offer a helpful tip; look up pachycephalosaur anatomy. But here's why specifically...

1.) His (it's?) tail's kid of short.
2.) Stygimoloch didn't stand like that; they were probably more horizontal in their posture.
3.) His feet look like cat feet, not really what dinosaur feet looked like.
4.) His arms are too humanlike; these guys had short, stumpy arms that weren't really too useful.
5.) His torso is almost perfectly square, something that has not been found in any dinosaur known.

I don't feel the need to really "speak up" as I like the image and so did the "owner" of the character. But any constructive crit is great and I will take what Dodo said into consideration

If this doesnt qualify as "lots of vines" then I dont know what does
I really like the fact that textures make you center on the char, yet you can tell the background has lot of detail too ^^

I've never wanted to give a dinosaur a hug before. But I'd so glomp this guy. Cute ^-^

Ooh, I love the details of the face and the eye, the background is quite lovely too.
