Description
The tusked ornithopod Heterodontosaurus tucki. A quick 'n' dirty drawing for a blog post.Generally classified as basal ornithopods, one analysis places the Heterodontosauridae as the sister-taxon to the Marginocephalia.

Very nice! I especially like the eyes, they have a real vivid luminosity to them.

They had real big eyes. It was a good opportunity for working on that.

Not a cuddly herbivore...
Hopefully they'll find some more Mid-Jurassic Marginocephalia in the future.

About as cuddly as a wild boar, if the tusks are anything to go by.
Mid-Jurassic marginocephalians and Cretaceous heterodontosaurids. If Echinodon was a heterodontosaur...

Yeah, they're weird that way. They may even have used their heads in battle!

I'm sure many extinct creatures with "ordinary" heads used them frequently for sex brawls...
