The only decent restoration of this creature I could find on the www. Even made it into wikipedia. Way to go

While probably not as elobrate as G. wucaii, P. bradleyi had more likely a crest of some sort. I am having trouble seeing the "horn".

Possibly, yes... (I wouldn't say "more likely" in the absence of fossil evidence) Why not hypothesize more diversity amongst the early tyrannosauroids?

I know I need coffee. I had to read the name four or five times before I got it right :S The more of your stuff I see, the more my chickens look like dinos. I'm not sure what kind of influence you are but definitely an influence

You use zbrush or am I on more drugs than I'm aware of? Do you paint them in these poses or do you rig them? Curious as the joints on this one look a bit odd, but I'm not sure if it's because they are or if I'm just staring in a bleary and cross-eyed fashion and seeing things that aren't there

Yes, birds are dinos... so your chickens ought to look like them
It's only painting with zbrush. What do you mean with rig them?

Malay game birds are the most awesome dinos I wanted some but they're twice the size of commercially familiar chicken breeds, was worried about the safety of the husband's chickens. So I have Japanese bantams instead.

"Only" painting with Zbrush? Painting with Zbrush is hard work Rigging is whacking in a skeleton and some controllers and fiddling with various maps (I usually just use weight maps but other people use bone weights and different weird things) so you can animate.

No, I am not rigging then... I have actually no idea that we can do this (I am such a newbie) LOL!!

Hehe well that's how 3d models get animated

Newbie my left testicle. You're a damn good modeler and texturer

"left testicle"? Sorry, I thought you were female...
Anyway, this is the first I am told being a "damn good modeler and texturer"... made me blush.

Pretty interesting...I didn't think this simple creature would evolve into something badass like T. rex lol

NTamura In reply to Krajax [2011-11-28 21:55:30 +0000 UTC]

Just like any animal, T-rex had a modest start...

Nice, I've seen few Proceratosaurus. So, the "horn" of Proceratosaurus only extends in the anterior portion of the snout?

NTamura In reply to Zimices [2011-11-28 21:52:08 +0000 UTC]

We don't know for sure... If you look at the fossil, the upper part of the skull is missing:

Some have speculated that the "horn" is part of a nasal crest like in Guanlong but that is just speculation.

The pose of its body looks kind of awkward to me, the feet look too close together and the arms seem really stiff. Then again, I wouldn't know how this creature is supposed to stand or look lol.
