[TEST] Carnotaurus Mk.1 Mod.2

Description

This took a long time to draw, yet the shading and the general patterns are still incomplete, especially because of some - or many - likely perspective issues that I want you to point out to me so I can still fix them. I figured the enormous thickness of Carnotaurus's tail can't be convincingly depicted in lateral or dosal profile drawings, so this is what I came up with.

Tools of the trade: Scott Hartman's skeletal reconstruction of this beast, what little is said in the literature about the skin imprints, a good look at the Czerkas reconstruction, and a general sense of "this looks probably right".

Comments and criticisms welcome. I think the right ankle/metatarsus is the most obviously wrong thing, but I didn't quite know how to do it "right".

//Edit: Changed the leg proportions, kudos to Vlad, Yoult, and Elijah. Massive thanks for your advice, guys! To be honest, now the left foot looks extremely dorky. More changes to come.

//Edit: Changed the right leg again, thanks to Vlad. And improved the shading. Let's see how it holds up now.

//Edit: Be sure to check out Pachyornis's awesome colored version of this drawing!
