The shading is awesome; the pattern of the crest is original, great

Ah, great to see your art again. The return of that realistic-texture and beautiful softness. Good job, man...!

Beautifuly done I like the way it looks like nothing I've ever seen (in terms of hadrosaurids that is).

Thanks for the comments! All of you!

This will probably be the last piece I'll be puting up for some time. But in the meantime, keep commenting! It helps me become a better artist.

AAAAAAAAGH! A hadrosaur I haven't heard of. And so nicely restored. That crest is facinating. I must have more info on this animal.
Your rendering of the cheeks is interesting. Good technique throughout. You made the crenelated crest (mane, ridge... whatever) look rather horney and keratinous. Is there evidence for this? Brachylophosaurus, which has the only confirmed spinal ridge, seems to indicate that any such structures were fleshy and supported by small ossicles embeded in the flesh. Just a thought. I'm interested in your thoughts. Superb execution of the dorsoventral cervical skin folds! Definitely a favourite for this hadrosaur nut.
And do tell me where I can find info! I'd love to study this beast.

Oi~ my gosh! It's so detailed... and absolutely lovely!

I'm not a big dinosaur like expert or anything~ but I do find them quite facinating~...
I think it looks... just like fab. Totally fab.

So this is the new concensus on hadrosaur cheeks, right?

Yikes, good job on Mr. Riabini!
I see you dislike the Hadro cheeks! Interesting. I still make mine with cheeks.
