Is the female smaller or a tad bit bigger than the male?

Females are a bit smaller in my head canon.

I know, but I tend to do artistic liberties, but I do what I'm able to do, while making things accurate. I don't always HAVE to do super accurate, I do what I can try to make it look

Easy no need to get defensive. Besides I can work with it and say that it was a genetic defect.

I'm not being defensive. Maybe I am, I apologize. Earlier, was recovering a bad night

Oh. No harm done. Like I said I can work with it. As I told Sideswipe217 it will take me awhile to do the Description and regarding the Morrison Formation; mainly because I'm approaching Finals week.

Oh and as of 2013, S.armatus is now synonymous with S.stenops. doi.org/10.21805%2Fbzn.v70i2.a…

but you could still call it armatus by having it be a subspecies of stenops. I've also gotten a start on Stegosaurus. So far, I've done the habitat itself.
Environment: The Morrison Formation during the time of Stegosaurus was comparable to the Serengeti with semi-arid open floodplain prairies while gallery forests lined rivers. There was a short wet season that had a long drought. To the north of the main region were huge swamps that bordered the Sundance Sea while in the south, towards Mexico, the habitat became extremely arid, a desert with sand dunes. In essence, this was the landscape of Disney’s Lion King 150 million years ago.

I also got the Flora & Non-Dinosaur Fauna. (Note: I didn't name apply names to them as that would take too much time)
Flora: The plant-life includes conifers, gingkoes, cycads, tree ferns, and horsetail rushes, with conifers being the dominant plant but all of them grew around the multiple rivers that carved a path throughout the landscape.
Fauna: The animals that lived here are incredibly diverse, with members from practically every branch of the tree of life, except birds. The Non-dinosaur fauna include invertebrates like clams, crayfish, and grasshoppers, five species of fish, two species of frog and one species of salamander, one species of Champsosaur, 6 species of crocodiles (some terrestrial and some semi-aquatic), one species of snake, two species of lizards, two species of freshwater turtles, two species of Sphendonts (reptiles related to the New Zealand Tuatara), two species of Pterosaurs, and six species of small mammals.

Your welcome. If you want, you can help determine which African animal has a Morrison Formation analogy.
Stegosaurus=Rhino.

He's actually been showing me the progress of the drawing, and I have been giving him feedback for improvement.

Mostly showing me the progress ^^ I suggested having the colors be duller on the female Stegos
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I see. On my end, I suggested a consistent plat size pattern for the males so it doesn't look weird.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Makes sense, don't want the plates to seem wonky ^^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The plates on Stegosaurus are hard to get right. I should know from multiple times of drawing it.

Oh, I bet. I can only imagine how difficult it must be for professional paleoartists

They tend to look at skeletons to get them down.

Still must be hard though
