Description
While talking with El-Wolfgang about how weird was ceratopsians' new looks, I remembered that, with recent findings, the most famous ceratopsian and one of the most recognizable dinosaurs ever now has an updated, spikier look. And I said I'd upload something about it, so... here it is.Triceratops, now featuring scutes in its belly, quill-like protrusions, pointy scales and... well, overall a more accurate look than my old Triceratops drawings. It kinda looks like an oversized, horned boar now, doesn't it?

Oh, my name is in there! I love that!
Pues para ser honestos me gusta la onda espinosa. Es como un armed triceratops. Wich is awesome. Como siempre, tu trabajo con los dinos es increible. Lo que haria por dibujar animales al menos menialmente asi de naturales.
Y aunque imagino que es un detalle sin mucha relevancia, me encantan las manchas debajo de los ojos. Se ve super cool/moderno.

We are all egomaniacs, bro...
Eh, de hecho. No me salió tan bien como otras representaciones que he visto por ahí, pero se entiende la idea. Las restauraciones de otros más pro sí que transmiten esa vibra de "spikey tank of doom" que tenía en mente.
Muchas gracias!
Las escamas faciales de hecho como que estuvieron en on and off, ya las había dibujado antes, pero de un rato para acá las dejé for some reason.

Pues este se ve mas natural. Que no esta mal. Claro, you can always do the "spiky tank of doom running straight at your face" para la otra.
Son escamas? Blimey, shame on me. Aunque supongo que me proyectaba mucho al pensar que eran tatuajes o perforaciones. eAe

Eh. Supongo que un día que ande más inspirado con la idea dibujo otro Triceratops en esa onda, ciertamente.
Eh, es una forma de verlo. Por otro lado, en aves y reptiles está bastante visto eso de la ornamentación facial. Naturally-grown piercings, if you will.

Apenas pueda volver a dibujar.
This piercing is special because I grew it! In a cave! With a box of scraps!

I do not get that reference... eAe

Uh... sí, lo forcé un poco. No supe cómo integrar eso de que "lo crecí yo mismo" y le agregué una referencia a Iron Man. "Tony Stark built that thing IN A CAVE! WITH A BOX OF SCRAPS!" My bad.
I know, I know, don't explain the joke, but the Joker's not around, so...

The Cretaceous Razorbacked Warthog is just the way as Torosaurus(aka Triceratops) behaves with their own kind, and all their relatives who are different species of Ceratopsians. Why? Because this dinosaur is harmless to each other and their neighbors, but the rogue ceratopsian is a predator to its own kind and other herbivorous and omnivorous dinosaurs. Triceratops prefers to graze vegetations, lick on herds of termites(like aardwolves do best), and solitarily scavenged already dead animals. The rogue Triceratops is not the only alpha predator in Hell Creek, but one alpha predator whose an ornithischian. T.Rex is Triceratops's enemy and the saurischian alpha predator in Hell Creek. But enough about the facts, good job!

So... you subscribe to Jack Horner's theories that Triceratops and Torosaurus were just growth stages of the same species, huh?
I have to say, your comment left me unsure as to what to make of it. I also have to say, even if Triceratops were an omnivore, they'd be far from being an alpha predator, their size would make them unsuitable to prey on many of the larger prey items available at the time, which Tyrannosaurus and Quetzalcoatlus would be more adapted to take. That being said, I wouldn't be surprised if evidence of scavenging or even predatory behavior on large ceratopsians were to be found later on.
Oh, and thanks, really! Glad you took a moment of your time to comment.

Es curioso cómo cambian las interpretaciones de los dinosaurios con los años. Por eso urge la máquina del tiempo.
De hecho, pensaría que este nuevo es alguna de las macuarradas que sacaron los de los juguetes de Jurassick Park. Pero pues es gente seria, con papers y todo. Y pues hay que mantenerse en el negocio.
Me gustó, hiciste la transición bastante suave a mi parecer.

Ja. No sé si eso sería emocionante o decepcionante.
Auch. Eso no sé si debería ofenderme o no... Digo, sí parece el equivalente al diseño de personajes de los 90's pero... well, it's my work, lady...
Y... gracias, finalmente.
