Description
Remember whe I used to draw ornithischians? Here's a reminder.Camptosaurus dispar Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 + Wacom Tablet 2014.
This reconstruction, including the size, is based on USNM 4282, one of the more complete specimens and few that have been suitably published on. There are reports of specimens reaching over 7 meters in length (though Greg Paul's 5 meters seems more reasonable from what I've seen), but description of this animal is based on a hodgepodge of thousands of separate, fragmented remains that have been scarcely published upon. With this all said, the take home message is, don't consider this image to represent the maximum size the animal could reach, but I am at this time unable to give a precise idea of what that may be.

Did Camptosaurus dispar really have thumb spikes?

It really looks like a cross between a big Iguanodon and a small Hypsilophodon with the big thumb spike, I really like the details you've given it
I didn't know they were this big, always thought they were bigger.

This is lovely! It looks, you know, like real animal. Your work on the integument, with all wrinkles and scales, keeps to amaze me with its natural look.

Thanks. Again, it is extended with keratin, but I used the detailed figures provided in Carpenter & Wilson 2008 A new species of Camptosaurus (Ornithopoda: Dinosauria) from the Morrison Formation (Upper Jurassic) of Dinosaur National Monument, Utah, and a Biomechanical Analysis of Its Forelimb (that reminds me that I forgot to add the reference list to the artist notes, doh!). Here is one of the forelimb figures from said paper: s8.postimg.org/rn6hbcfd1/Campt…

Neat! I always thought camptosaurs had small useless thumb spikes...

I have extended them with keratin, but not by that much. I certainly wouldn't call them "useless".
