So, I ended up making one of these again. Don't worry, there will be more interesting stuff here, eventually.
My primary motivation for this: The fact that there are absolutely no decent reconstructions or restorations of this creature in existence.

Edit: Hypothetical portions shaded in grey.

Finally! Someone did a reconstruction of a less well know theropod...I’ve wanted to see a skeletal of Cryolophosaurus for a while now. The only thing I can pick with it is the premaxilla is a little thin (vertically) but otherwise, it’s awesome!

Thanks!

The præmaxilla is unknown in Cryolophosaurus, so far it has been restored incorrectly under the assumption that C. is a tetanuran, now it appears to be a Dilophosaurid, so I gave it a præmaxilla based on Dilophosaurus, Dracovenator, and Zupaysaurus.

Well this is interesting! Most reconstructions of this dinosaur make it look like a sinraptorid (short snout, kinda tall...) But that never really made much sense to me since this dinosaur lived so much earlier than actual sinraptorids (Those are mostly in late Jurassic range), and seeing how these dilophosaurids were distributed, it just makes a lot of sense now, doesn't it? :lol:

Good job!

Great stuff! It's nice to see unusual dinosaurs getting skeletals, and I had no idea it was now considered a dilophosaurid.

Well done! You get the coelophysoid proportion right! Finally we see this guy with slender and more gracile proportions! I must admit i like it much more the Dilophosaur aspect than the basal tetanuran one! congratulations!

Very nice, it's great to finally see a good skeletal reconstruction of this animal.
