Description
No, this Majungasaurus is not for Prehistoric Kingdom, because I modelled it for practice in the time I assigned for doing 3D practices, which can range from modelling up to how to work with particles in Blender. This shall help me to improve my skills as a 3D artist and in the end it will lead to better models for either Prehistoric Kingdom and me.This guy (hmm, is it a male?) here needs the usual detailed sculpt, texture and a rig if the Majungasaurus should be able to make a move
Last, but not least I thank you all for your time, the faves and the comments

Nice one and I´m sure it was a good practice and maybe made you even better
Hmm since you have super good friend and maybe gone though something like this I ask for your advice:
My best friend who I have known since 2006 when we meet on a forum on the web have since then got close together and get to know each other.
In 2008-2009 I was one of her most trusted friends who she asked for advices and supported me as well and we sent once every 1-2 months a long message about what is going on in our lifes and she showed pictures and all from her home and stuff and we celebrated each others birthdays and sent gifts, if something bad happened we would get online and help.
2009-2010 it went on like that and I went to army training which she finds cool since she is interested in it. Around this time she got facebook or could been 2008, but she were often there and sometimes on MSN(todays skype) and were far more social than I was and active online. I got facebook later in 2009 and she sent a lot of pokes and suggestions on things I should do.
Between 2010-2011 I was unemployed and struggling with life but she showed support. When her dog died in late 2010 she didnt tell me but found out from a person I know who lives near her in UK so I texted her and soon called her to show my support and she was thankful for that.
In 2011 she meet someone she fell in love with and asked me for advices and also when the time came when she had to decide to move from her parents to her love even through her parents werent happy with that and a lot of shit happened, I were there and helped her and gave her my advice on what to do which she followed and it ended perfectly for her and is now living happy with her love and her parents happy as well.
But now after that and forwards to mid 2012 one heard less often from her but still long messages and she were there for one, but now she werent on Facebook that much anymore nor on MSN.(became skype now in 2012) so couldnt chatt much with her.
I travelled to UK and visited her in 2012 at the end of the year and had an amazing time and she trusted me and liked me there and when I had to leave for home she wanted one to stay longer and we discussed I could come back later one day next year. Since she is like a family member to me after that I missed her much when I got home and took me some weeks to get over it. But now I didnt hear much from her again but if I emailed or texted her she used to reply after some days or week max. But the long messages could now take between 1-2 months and at times even 4-5 months. In june 2013 I came back to UK and stayed some days longer and had a great time but when we would travel to a place called bovington she hold some info back: she usually get worryingly sick when traveling far and she said she would go and eat in the car and I would stay and have fun there we was and would meet up in an hour time so I went and did my buissness, later from her partner I heard she were very sick feeling and wondered why I wasnt there to support her when I´m a good friend of hers and she said she hadnt told me. Would find out she kept some things to herself and not tell me the whole picture of some things.
According to her partner since they got together she is very unsocial and prefers to be on her own and alone and dislikes social websites. My friend told me I was one of the 3 friends she have and is thankful for having me.
I after that went home again and she suggested ideas when I could get back in the future. Got some messages and text messages the days afterwards but after a week or so I didnt hear much from her again took 4 months til I got a message after my last message I sent to her.
Had one skype session with a lot of fun talking and fun but after that I havent seen her online.
I went back to UK now in September and meet her and had fun and a great time together and helped her with some things, when we made a trip she once again didnt tell me some facts which I heard afterwards from her partner, he said she might not want to say such things due to she dont want to ruin my fun.
When I went home she didnt asked or said ideas for a next time we could meet but she did text me time to time til after a week and I texted her and also left a message on Facebook and a link to all pictures I took but after 1 1/2 months I havent heard anything, nor seen any sign of her online. So got worried if something has happened but no reply from her but her partner says he and everyone is alright.
I informed her that I was moving the next day and felt death sick for it and worried for my new job which starts on 1 of december and my astronomy courses exam is on friday but no reply at all, remember since she is astronomer she said she would help me with it if needed but nope :/
Nor have she asked for what I wish this xmas.
Oh well I thought: Maybe she dont have credits on her phone so she cant text me, since I know they are low on money and her laptop maybe is faulty or internet is down so I decide give her time and wait and see.
Talked to a mate I have in UK and he and my friend would be dog guarding last week and she were there and made some new drawings, my mate was online and showed one of her drawings and forwarded my impression, my mate said she said: thats sweet of you. and then nothing, after 2 months and she dont say anything? :S
Well I do know she is a loner and forgets to keep contact and is bad at knowing what to write but in the past she have tried to keep contact way often than this and also help one when needed.
Her partner say that she is terrible at keeping contact with people since they known eachother and she is very selfabsorbed and focus on herself and even when he is home she goes to her room and stays there for hours instead of saying hi welcome home from work. So she can be uncontactable when she is in her own bubble.
Old messages from 2010 and so shows how she has changed and back then did take time to let me know things and inform me in detail and where there for one, now not so much and rarely hear anything :/ To me she is my best friend and I´m loyal to her and if she need help or something bad happens Iam ready to travel there if needed! I have promised I will always be her friend and I will keep that promise. But the change she have done since after she got together with her partner shows how she have changed and isnt informing me anymore as before.
Well relations can change you and make you prioritize other things, especially if one have to work on the relationship to work or have much things going on.
She will start to study in january again and is trying to get a driver license now and also have more friends in her life than she had back then we spoke online. She is a secretary in a geology group as well and wants to create art so I guess: Before her online life filled her social need and to have friends when she didnt when she lived at her parents place. But after she got together and got more friends and people to hang out with my role and importance disappeared and I might just be seen as a normal contact friend :/ Not as myself who thinks she is a best friend and wants to keep contact.
I have no idea what to do or where she stands now and that the signals tell :/ Maybe that era when we were good friends over and she is evolving/growing away from me and will just see me as a friend online which she dont think too much about.
Or maybe she test me but that isnt her style, or maybe jealous of my life but then again she have never done that before or is that type :/
So what is your advice when a great friend of yours who you dont want to live without starts to not contact you or not keep promises and start to act different from the past?

Thank you much for the comment and having the trust in me to ask for an advice.
When I read the beginning of your friendship I felt delighted, because you were regularly in contact with each other through messages and social media. It seems she has changed since she drew together with her partner, if I think about your description of the situation now and then. Sure, a new partner can be a reason why a close friend retreats from you and maybe other friends, but I don't think this is the main cause, probably she underwent some sort of personal development as you mentioned above.
If I were in this situation I would write my friend a letter either digital (email, Facebook etc.) or in a conventional way by mail, where I would offer her to stay in contact and that I'm there for serious conversations and / or fun talk about more amusing things, while I would also send greetings on birthdays and holidays.
This is not a guarantee your friend may become more active in the communication with you, but it is sign that you are interested in keeping the friendship alive.
Years ago, I messaged an old friend again, after we had left school and finding our way into the job world and well, I hoped to get in contact with him again, but he never answered any of my mails. It was hard for me he didn't seem to be interested in our friendship, but I also realized I can't force people to be friend with me.
In this case it was better to accept that he won't be a friend anymore instead of hoping all the time for a message from him. I waited almost a half year until I found out, that our lives had taken a different development, so we both had changed and a friendship didn't have a chance.
By offering my loyalty I hope to maintain my current and maybe future friendships. I never had much friends, only few people that have been hanging around with me deem to be friends.
Hopefully, I could help you with my written text and I do hope for you she is interested in your friendship and also will become more active there.

You have shown yourself as a loyal and honest person and you are in a similar situation with having a close friend but not many others, like myself so I can trust you on this.
Back then it could take between 2-6 weeks before one got a message but more common than now as well more online on social websites but still not that often. Today besides what I told she can be on FB but shown as offline to all due to she have to post articles on the geology groups FB page and some people there can be annoying so she prefer them not being able to see her online, or that is what she says is the reason. But she have said she dislikes being social and find it hard to know what to write to people, a reason she is very rarely on forums.
True, I´m certain that when she got together with her partner and moved there she started to change or rather developed as a person when she got better self esteem from her partner, she also like I said got a more intense real life and people to think about and be with and also taking bigger part of the geology and everything that involves, as well as taking care of their home and do food and her own interests.
So yes she evolved as a person with her partner and went from living at her parents home alone to have her place and have now a social life irl instead since back in 2008 era she used it to fill her social need since she were mostly alone back then. But that is my theory, her interests and how her personality and such is the same.
And like I said when I was at her place and celebrated her birthday she were super kind and fun and open and also wanted to see movies and stuff with me, but like I said she is selfabsorbed and needs to be alone at times even to her partner. Talked to her about it when I was there and if I´m the reason she stays in her room all day at times, she said that is how she is like and does it to others and her partner as well, she just need to be alone at times and isnt much for being social.
Good advices there and I can say that I gave her a b-day gift this year and all other years since a long time ago and the same at xmas Well last time I heard from her was 28 October, on 1 of november I was at a convention and sent her a text message with some pictures from it and asked if she wanted anything from the stuff I saw, and later sent her a message and on Facebook 2 weeks ago if she is okay and informed her my new adress since I moved the week before.
Since she is kind and offered to help me when I need it I emailed her last friday asked her if I could email her later with some astronomy questions or not, also wished her good luck with driving lessons and theory test she would have in december. she told me that when I was at her place but since then havent told me exact day. But no answer on that email either :/ Although she were online that day since she managed to share an article on FB but if she read her emails I cant say and she maybe didnt have time or by not replying she says no, or she maybe didnt see the email in time etc.
So yeah I have texted and emailed her 3-4 times since the end of october so I think I have done what I can.
But like I said she have taken 2-4 months in the past to write anything to me. So your idea of writing a message and telling her this and if she wants to keep contact like before or just talk about fun stuff will be saved for later if I dont hear anything from her for several months.
Am aware it is no guarantee but then I have at least tried.
I will send her some gift at xmas, planned to get her a thing she want for 99 dollar but is now unsure if I should buy a such expensive gift when its not clear where she stands :/
That is what I´m afraid of can happen since if one dont talk/update each other then the risk is one will outgrow the other and the friendship wont be the same anymore or even stop to exist.
Sad to hear that happened to you two
Today I came up with this theory: what if I´m a bit like a stalker and she do this to make me stop to keep such close rots to each other and that she thinks I write to often to her or something like that? :/ I can confess I have written unusually many messages this month due to not heard from her but like I said: 3-4 messages on 4 weeks time and I can remember about her driving thing and such and missing her, not sure if one should miss a friend like I do after 4-5 weeks of silence and from when I saw her last time.
But I find this theory unlikely but I realise I need to do something about my longing after talking to her and be on FB looking if she have read my message I sent or not, but is on a good way doing that, havent looked on the message box on FB for 2 weeks now. (one can see when the person have seen the message in the message box on FB)
Getting too close and become paranoid and see or start worry for the friendship isnt a good thing.
My conclusion is: I wont write anymore message since I have tried to get contact during this month with no effect, will send a xmas gift, just have to decide what kind of gift or if I go for that expensive one, hmm......
So yes wait for her to contact me and what she says when she do and if she want to tell whats going on in her life and why she didnt want to help me and why the silence, if she just write a short message and ignores all my messages or when I asked for her help: then I will go with your plan and write what I feel about it and say I want to be her friend and is honest and loyal to the end but she needs to be honest and tell what is the reason she changed so much from the past.
I will also try to take down the friendship to a lower level and not this high level which she dont seem to share.
IF I dont hear anything from her at all or in worst case she have gone on from me, then I will break down and accept I´m not a part of her life anymore. Have to be prepared that I have to accept she have evolved from how she was before and will see me as a low level friend and she wont be so close to me anymore and maybe hear from her once a halfyear or so.
Since she didnt seem to care to help me I guess I have to accept she wont be there to help me much and she maybe dont see me as a good friend anymore.
Although she said she miss me and such the week after I got home to Sweden after I was at her place in UK :/
Time will tell and I will always like you: be honest to her and loyal, I have sworn I will help her and in worst case travel over even if it is needed and I keep my promises til she breaks the friendship.
Like the old east prussians I live after: honesty, loyalty and honour.
A good song:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLQMs4…
In worst case that song is true and she casted me aside when I didnt feel any of her needs anymore :/ Been replaced in her life.
But we´ll see and I will wait and see what happens, if she write something or do something on xmas.
Thanks so much for reading and what you wrote earlier! Like you I have few friends and she is my best friend so will be very hard to take that loss if that happens, I can confess I´m terrible at knowing people and see signals when something is wrong nor an expert on knowing what to do in situations or with friends and if I write to often or not or too little :/

At first I have to say sorry for the very late reply and I thank you for your appreciation and how you see me.
For people, who have an intense desire to be alone from time to time the interaction with others can be challenging and / or in the worse case it is for them like depleting their energy. Then, retreating an walking into her room is like recharging her batteries, if the day was exhausting to some extent.
I dare to say that, because I too need my time of being alone, just being in the nature an maybe getting some inspiration for my paleo art. Well, in such moments I'm not very talkative or interested in spending time with friends and family. Some people I met in my life always wondered about how I can live in that way, while the particular person was meeting four friends every week. They couldn't imagine that I wasn't as much as they are social.
If she has the same tendencies, then I would try to be patient and wait for a reply, despite of it may be difficult for someone like you, who cares about his close friends. I hope she will reply to your previous mails, but like you I can't say anything about her personal situation at the moment, but I think you've shown you want to keep in touch.
Another friend of mine replies very irregularly to my mails and I quite often find myself thinking about if he ever has read my mail or not, but sometimes he calls me spontaneously when I actually didn't reckon with a call. During these calls, we talk about the mail's content or not, that's why I can never say the mail got read, but I try to keep my hopes up, since there could be always the chance for an incoming call.
The conclusion of what I've gathered during my past is that I don't try to force other people to stick around with me, otherwise I thin you would make the other person and / or yourself unhappy and perhaps cause a too large damage. It doesn't mean, that I can't be considerate and nice towards my friends, but the other person needs to be willing to be your friend too, else it will be just a One-Way-situation, which won't be much fun.
Well, I'm far away of being an expert for social things and sometimes I don't get what people actually want / expect from me, but I hope I could contribute to a solution to your question.
I try to be honest, polite and nice to my friends and others and if I have the impression I did something wrong I ask the particular one: did I something wrong or did I hurt her / him. If there was a misunderstanding then talking about shout be a good idea to resolve it.
I lost many friends especially when I went to another school - in my life I had to go through all the different kinds of the German educational system due to the recommendations of others and because of myself, who didn't fit into their expectations - or another event happened, that separated me from the others. Ok, there were always people I didn't want to hang around with me, but I wished some of my former comrades had followed me.
Nevertheless, I wish you luck and a nice day

Thanks for the answer and no worries
Very true that and I´m that type who needs to be alone at times, depends also on the company and how I feel.
Some days there I didnt mind she were in her room and was alright with that but the day I spoke of I had bad self esteem and that makes me a bit too emotional and doubting in myself and others but now afterwards I see what happened and she needed to rest and be herself
True that and that is pretty much my plan now, give her time and wait. Just tricky as you say since I care for my friend.
Cant know what is going on over there or her situation so just time will tell and how she react/answer later.
As you say: I have texted and emailed and written on FB asking if everything is okay in UK so cant do much more than that and wont write more til she replies, okay her xmas present is an exception xD
Like you I´m terrible at social contacts/how to tell when something is wrong and what to say but I´m honest and always say things as they are and always there for my friends.
I cant remember me saying or done something which could make her angry on me since last time I heard from her but if I dont hear anything for another 2-3 months I might write and ask if I have done something wrong or not.
Thats very true, I dont force anyone to be my friend but I do expect from a friend I have said is my best friend to be honest and say if he/she dont want to be my friend anymore and why if possible.
But yes you are right with the other part with me pressure myself to be a great friend causing damage in that way to myself.
As you say she must want to be my friend to make it work.
I now also realise I see her as my best friend but she might not see me in the same way but more like a normal friend, would explain some things and how come she never have spoken about visiting me but on one hand she have always wanted me to visit her oh well. xD Not worth to think about too much.
I stick to my plan: I will not write more to her until she replies and give her room and try to not think much about it and wonder since that will just hurt myself, go on in my life and wait. Will be ready to help or anything if she contacts me since I have promised that and she is an great friend I do anything for. Although when I asked her for help with something she promised to do I havent heard anything and no help xD But then again dont know what is going on there or what she thinks now.
IF I dont hear anything after 3-4 months I will do one last contact and ask if I have done something wrong and want to be her friend and such. IF I dont get a reply on that or she puts an end to the time we had then thats that. So wait and see is the plan and not use too much energy about this See her as a friend mainly and not best and close friend.
IF the worst happen then I will have a big breakdown since she is that type of friend who have helped so much in the past and still do and a person you dont want to lose :/ But we´ll see that day if it happens.
Now time to think what to write in the xmas message along the xmas present, hmmm....

Thank you much, Maurizio!
Yeah, somehow it looks like to be shouting and I hope the Majungasaurus uses the English pronunciation, which sounds better to me than the German one
The ref is great an helped me to make some adjustments.
