Hmm.. a feathered carnotaurus seems speculative. If there's science behind it, then whoops lol. May I just say that the head is 100% perfect

Holy crap, great work on this, bro! :0 carnotaurus is one of my all time favorite dinosaurs and you sure did it justice!
Just one tiny detail, it's thought that carnotaurus was one of very few theropods that lacked feathers and was covered in scales. Still though, I'm in love with this picture! The anatomy is on point and I especially like the head.

Very nice and quite a handsome carnotaur, but based on what we know from the skin impressions, Carnotaurus had no feathers. It was scaly and spiky like it was depicted as being in Disney's Dinosaur.

Carnotaurus skin impressions are actually not that extensive, and don't rule out feathers.

Well, perhaps not, but it's where the scales are that indicates there was little to no feathers. Along the ribcage for example, where feathers were likely, there are scale impressions, indicating that there was like no feathery covering. The animal's ribs would be a place where feathers were likely prevalent in theropods, and that Carnotaurus has no evidence of feathers there seemingly indicates none were present.

Actually the scales were located around the arms-not the rib cage.

And where did you find this out?

Spinosaurus_the_fisher (who came up with the diagram showing extensive scales then realized he was wrong)

But I like him this way.

No denying he looks good, that's for sure.
