Description
I drew this for my pal Trey , a guy who I am a massive fan of, and a guy who I've been told kinda likes my art
.Keeping in the spirit of his videos, I have incorporated some newer ideas and concepts that have been uncovered since the whole 2014 kerfuffle. You may not be able to tell from this angle, but that first toe (or hallux) faces backwards. I have also given him feather-like whiskers protruding from the pressure sinuses peppered around the rostrum, a concept thought up by the brilliant Traheripteryx .
I have tried my best not to shrink-wrap him. In the theme of this I have given him thick lips protecting his teeth and smoothing his jawline slightly. 1/3 of the sail (the base) is comprised of thick muscle, gristle and fat, whilst the other 2/3 are a thick structure. This is in line with some of the newer understandings we have of this creature.
At this moment I shan't portray him walking or standing -- only sitting and swimming -- and I can't be bothered getting into arguments with eleven year old fanboys in the comments.Β
(also, note for Trey, if you need art for your videos shout me out on twitter or send me a note!)Β

Don't agree with the lips. Not on spino.

Nothing says it didn't, there is no evidence to the contrary.

But there's a strong suggestion: crocs have the same diet, the same environment, a verry similar skull shape, are kinda closely realated and don't posess lips.

I'm not too sure "closely related" is a good argument. The others are valid but Spinosaurus is about as closely related to a crocodile as any other Theropod

And we don't have lips from any of em.

Listen, I haven't extensively researched this but I know there's a good reason almost everybody on this site (including educated professionals) lips their Theropods so I will continue to do the same

Spinosaurus lacks the someone rugose skin correlations on the maxilla and pre-maxilla of a croc, despite the vaguely similar nerve openings. Neovenator seemed to display something similar, and we know that animal possessed lips.

How do we know that?

Thenk fren. Sorry for bothering.

You weren't! Discussion is always healthy

Wait... I read the thing and they don't 100% prove lips...

Recent paper on it, I'll try and find it for you!

It's possible

But not plausible

I wish not to continue this argument further. I've stated my thoughts and you have too. I'm no professional on this topic so I have no further reason to argue.

They really look derpy, but appeal of consequences is a fallacy.

Have you seen my drawing? I drew a Spinosaurus in a similar pose, too. I think it looks interesting with the quills around the end of the snout, and who knows, it could be possible. I like it.

Thanks so much! Awesome reply coming from the likes of you, sir

You're welcome
By the way, why is its hallux in that pose? Have I maybe missed some kind of new info about Spiny?
π: 0 β©: 1
Recent trackways from Baryonyx have 100% percent proved: webbed feet; very dexterous halluxes - capable of completely swivelling to a position exactly like extant birds; and that swimming had been around in Spinosauridae for a very long time!
π: 0 β©: 1
What? Awesome! Do you maybe have an article or something about it I can read?
By 'swivelling to a position exactly like extant birds' you mean its hallux was very flexible? Sort of like owls can bend their second toe backwards?

Awesome Artwork !
Δ°t looks like a hybrid between Pelican - Otter - Crocodile.
Δ°ts best to wait further discoveries for The obvious spiny subject

I'm in the middle of drawing one standing. Be prepared, oh be prepared.

The news are good ?
Or much more '''Fishy - Ducky''' ?

I am doing something I don't think anybody has done yet.
π: 0 β©: 1
.Going central America to find more Oxalaia fossils to prove it was a spinosaurus subspecies ?!
.Going to Δ°nner Sahara to find more spino. fossils ?!
.Creating a computer simulation to prove Spinosaurus can change its postures between bipedal & quadrupedal ?!
Whatever you are doing\searching; Good Luck ! I will stay tuned for further Spinosaurus discoveries !

I meant proportion-wise, but nice to see enthusiasm.
π: 0 β©: 1
I will definetly wait for it !
And Lol ! ethusiasm is a nice thing; at least it gives a momment of relaxation\calming
