BTW, what's the problem with the claws? I thought the Eo was notable for its long arms and long claws.

Sure, but the claws on the model are short, so longer ones will be put on. And sharper ones. I like pointy bits. ;D

Upon closer inspection, I see what you mean.

[paleoferroequine]

Current progress, not sure if the neck protofeathers will stay or if quills will be used. Also might be minor changes. But, not bad so far.

Should the fingers be all the same length?

No, digit 1 should be shortest with digit 2 the longest. I meant to change them but forgot. Thanks for reminding me, there's probably other things to do. The metatarsals should be longer . Anybody else?

[Megaraptor]

The skull maybe looks a bit deep, and the tail looks like it ends a bit abruptly, ut other than that, great job, once again.

[Horridus]

Not sure about the length of digit 3 on Eotyrannus but it should definitely be the least robust, as is the norm in tyrannosauroids...

Digit 1 is the shortest, but it looks like digit 3 is slimmer. I've already changed stuff, the metatarsals are longer, tail has been changed, and digits.

[Horridus]

A very commendable effort given how...off the original sculpt is. I look forward to seeing your changes.

[paleoferroequine]

Doh, Flickr changed the format of their pages and it took me some time to track down how to link pictures back to here, stupid people made it a lot harder and didn't bother to explain how to do it now, it work OK but.....if it ain't broke, don't fix it!!! %#@+++&%#^%@

Well, what was I doing? Oh yeah, here is the Eotyrannus again, more changes: shallower head, digits fixed, more scaly on legs and body, and spikey bits, I love spikey bits! ;D

D**n, first try to post picture didn't work, try again. Arrgghhh..... took me 4 tries. Me wants to wring someones neck They must of hired the same people who keep "improving" ITunes.

[Radman]

Welllll, overall, I really like it. But are the hands bigger than the feet?

[Horridus]

Looking good! In that it doesn't resemble the original much any more I like the feathery crest, daring but attractive!

Thanks everybody, well the feet are a bit small maybe. But the hands do appear to be about the same length as the feet on the real one, the fingers are not slim enough on this, and I didn't feel like making new feet and hands, at that point I might as well sculpt a whole new one! ;D Also the angle of the photo is ever so slightly from the front, that coupled with the macro setting on my camera makes the hands look even bigger. This was fun to do, maybe I should finally start that conversion of the Battat Acro into a Rutiodon that I've been wanting threatening to do ;D

Jes kidding!! ;D ;D ;D

[Horridus]

Please really do it, the number of people that would suffer heart palpatations on here would be worth it. Also: great photo. ;D

Nooooooo! Leave the poor acro alone
