POLICE!!!!!! This artist used Greg Paul as a reference for this cool Einiosaurus!

"Gee!" says the policeman, "I didn't know Greg Paul looks like that!!!!"

Okay! A little critique for a cool drawing; it looks like the einiosaur's front limbs are pulling the rest of the body forward, which was a very likely part of their gallop. If I remember correctly, at this stage of the motions, the hind legs would be extended back more, or, if they're coming forward to catch the weight of the wee beasty, the thrusting arm would be almost fully extended back, at something like a sixty degree angle, supposing 90% to be upright.

IF he's just slow trotting, this position is almost dynamically impossible.

Also, ceratopsians of this size had thick, powerfully muscled upper arms and shoulders, far more than what you show here. Greg Paul often WAY under-muscles his ceratopsians in the shoulder/upper arms areas. Some of them actually could not have had their flesh fit over the bones. Take a gander at centrosaur skeletons and you'll se what I mean.

Lol. Thanks! That was very helpful. I'll try bulking up my ceratopsians in the future.

Cool! And I'm not talking about fat. Think rhinoceros! These animals were likely very "buff", hard and compact, though massive.

Wow, this is beautiful. I love the detail in the scales. I really enjoy the color scheme, too.

Thanks. I didn't really have a specific color scheme planned out, but it seemed to fall into place well!

Yes, well, I will be in the fall. Right now just thinking about the future, and what career paths to take, applying for jobs, etc.

The color scheme is a bit more busy than I'd like (not to say it's poorly done or inaccurate! I'm just conservative that way), but I really like the texture and detail. I'd love to see you do more non-theropod dinosaur art, this is a great start!

P.S. Greg Paul's an ass

Thanks! I'm pleased with how it turned out. Haven't drawn many of these guys.
