Very nice. I like the hair like feathers. Quite a claws! But isn´t the left foot a bit too unnaturally twisted? ;D

The claw is gigantic in proportion if you ever see the fossil. Makes sense why some might say it was a spinosaur. Honestly I think i started this drawing with the intention of it being a 3/4 view and it ended sort of in a lateral pose. So yes the left foot is off.

Gigantic curved claws could also exist outside of Spinosaurs, remember Megaraptor (which I´m currently sketching btw). Could be a late allosaurid who developed such a tools in an extreme competitive environment where small -medium prey was becoming more dangerous and better armoured and Tyranosaurids were taking over all the predatory niches..but is just a hunch, sadly I never seen the fossile.

On most theropods, the first digit of the hand has the biggest claw. This one just took it to an extreme like a spinosaur.
By the way I just got back from "Dino Day" at the NJ state museum. I finally got to check out some drypto teeth up close. Def not from a spinosaur.

Very nice! I specially like the goat. Pig muzzle should be a bit narrower I think.

Yeah the goat is my favorite I think. Yeah I suppose the pig nose could be a bit more narrow but lets just say this is a more broad snouted individual.

Beautiful. I like the goat very much too. I think the pig's snout looks fine though.

Beautiful. I like the goat very much too. I think the pig's snout looks fine though. It seems okay to me--but it should be Sus scrofa, not Sul

Still a little foggy on my genus species for a lot of animals. I didn't bother to look it up. I think for memory it wasn't too far off ha. Thanks all for the kind words.

...I just have a special thing for ungulates ;D ... I'm very fond of ungulates too. So yes, paint that antelope, Chris. I nominate a gemsbok.
