I'm going to make a more accurate Kentro Vs. Elaphrosaurus soon (Elaphrosaurus is almost twice as long as Kentrosaurus) The minis didn't look too bad, though. The one at the very top reminded me of a model of Compsognathus at the Oxford University Museum of Natural History. Similar builds, but not related. Elaphrosaurus has some very interesting proportions and bones. If only we had a skull!! |

 Patagosaurus for ArtEvolved  Jiangjunosaurus, a recently described stegosaur. Now I've drawn all the well known Stegosaurs. I wanted to do Monkonosaurus, but I...I don't know if I can! They say it would have looked identical to Stegosaurus (Like Jiangjunosaurus here, they don't seem to get too much different from Stegosaurus) |

Good. Nice use of shadow and such. They both look a little skinny though.

I don't overdo the musculature on my dinosaurs. I hate fat dinosaurs.
They are lean mean creatures!

^ Oh, I can post some skinny reptile photos.  Some of them because they are starving, or loaded with parasites, or sick, some of them because its just what the species looks like naturally. On the other side of the spectrum, I can also post some seriously fat reptile photos, some who are overweight, and again, some who are just naturally plump looking critters. I think I prefer images or figures of dinosaurs that aim for the middle ground, lean and muscular, as I think they look the most "natural", but there was bound to be extremes of both, just like we see in any group of animals today. IMO, its nice to have some variety. |

^^ CCM really hit the mark there...  I don't imagine it hard to believe that some dinosaurs (especially parasite loaded theropods) to have been as skinny as emp's drawings |

Very cool. Did you copy these guys from anything or no? And what mediums did you use? I like it a lot. Maybe more shading on the dinos themselves to differentiate them from one another but even so very well done.

 Antarctosaurus  Astrodon  Turiasaurus  Efraasia  Erketu  Panoplosaurus  Suchomimus + Nigersaurus. Yes, I cheated, but I nodded the original artist of the suchomimus and made an offering to his greatness. Sainte Vincient on dA. He's got amazing stuff. He felt honored  |

Great stuff. And the species you've selected have... pretty much the coolest names ever.

Should the Efraasia's head be smaller? I'm not familiar with that species I'm just judging by the proportions I know from sauropods in general.
On your colored one. I would def use shading to give it more depth. Other than that your stuff is great as always. Love the fact that you made the Nigersaurus a color scheme other than the same green almost every other reconstruction has made it. Very refreshing.
