Suchomimus spine vertabre (ie. Spinal cord) seems more larger and possibly has a hump (or very fleshy proto-sail)
So; that results as Suchomimus is possibly a new/different species of Spinosaurodae genera
By the way great art ! You are talented

I disagree about the Suchomimus being a Baryonyx synonym. Suchomimus did not live at the same time as Baryonyx and as far as we know Baryonyx did not have a short ridge like Suchomimus.

You can very well disagree on this, but rather small morphological differences and different time distributions aren't really a reason to counter genera-lumping.
Even today we have genera with pretty distinctive and different looking species. There are also extinct members of extant genera which didn't live with their relatives of today.
Despite that, arguing about genera-level taxonomy is quite senseless.

Spinosaurids illustrated like real animals? I'm dying right now.
