Description Mapusaurus roseae. theopod of the late cretaceous period. Related to Giganatosaurus and Charcharodontosaurus. I support critizism in my life long quest to become a paleoartist and creature designer.

love the detail you've put into the skin, like the battle marks and around the eye looks awesome

Wow, lovely work!

The legs do look a little thin to support the weight- perhaps bending the toes on the right foot to give the illusion of weight bearing against the ground will do the trick, along with a little thickening of the calf muscles. The hips also look a little square- perhaps rounding out the hip at the top will give it a less boxy appearance.

Other than that, though, amazing work! Keep going towards that goal- paleontology is a fascinating science.

Whoa, nice Mapusaurus! The legs are good, this animal was a runner and slim for its huge size anyway (slimmer than T.rex for sure). But I think the arms need to be longer. This is a Carcharodontosaur and hence a late-stage Allosauroid, not a Torvosaur or Abelisaur. But otherwise it's fine.

Yeah, you're improving for sure. The arms of Mapusaurus were indeed shorter than those of its close relatives (the reason for this remains a mystery), but they were still bigger than T.rex or abelisaur arms.
