Description Same old story: unusable laptop, creature design and lots of boredom. But this time, Protoceratops came out.
Oh, and there's a little spoiler in this sketch. You've been advised.

Great stuff, man. Very naturalistic, my favorite quality.

The hind legs seem pretty thin compared to the prosoma. Wouldn't he fall over with this kind of proportions?

I know, but that's how the animal is. rainbow.ldgo.columbia.edu/cour…
I'm sure it had a lot of mass on the tail and on the hind limbs, but this is the result when you apply regular muscles

Nicely done! I like the fact you gave it a thicker neck. Seems more natural.

Glad you've noticed that!
The thin-necked Protoceratops always looked wrong to me so I've tried to beef it up. Plus the gular pouch makes it even thicker.
Oh, and thanks !

No problem! I've been doing that with many of my dinosaurs and other prehistoric fauna too, often taken reference from modern crocodilians, monitor lizards, and various birds.
