Hi, I'm knew to the forum, but share your passions for Dinosaur
Replicas. I wanted to get a critique on a piece of Art, I whipped up-a Apatosaurus. My favorite Dino of all time. Don't hold back.
Curious to see what you think, and if you think this would be a decent Replica.

Thanks in advance

Facts are meaningless. You could use facts to prove anything that's even remotely true.

Welcome Apatos. Nicely stylized -I really like it.

by the way - you had used html code in your post which the forum doesn't recognise so your pic wasn't showing, this forum uses bbcode (bulletin board code) so I modified your post. Cheers,

On a side note, does anybody know why the Apatosaurus' neck is portrayed with protruding neck vertebrae? Is is just because the new paleoartists prefer skinny dinosaurs?

Probably, also the assumption that a huge animal would have benefit from being less fat, and therefore less heavy and more mobile.

The drawing looks good, though a little too stylized to give a scientific critique. The only thing I'd reccomend is to ditch all but the big claw on the front feet--neosauropods didn't have any others (in fact titanosaurs didn't have any fingers at all).
