So He definately looks like a lizard... didn't read any mention about being in the bird family - kinda curious what your thoughts are on that... With those teeth... I think he could eat anything he wanted... I don't think he was a scavenger - but I'm sure from time to time he was - aren't we all? Picture looks great man.

Hi dinoraul- THANKS for my portrait! Not many who dare to oblige! Excellent work. But, do you know, I'm slightly furry. I know, the fossil record hasn't preserved any hair. But it's like with the elephants, rhinoceri and hippopotami. Thanks for posting my stats- I'm rather proud of them, particularily my 6 inch teeth. Excellent "photo"!

Excellent image and stats...well, they say all dino's derived from birds... who's to say, I don't think any of them were around back then to see the evolution. I particularly don't care to say a chimp is a cousin of mine. 'Just a thought for the day..

very nice render. For all that worry about scavengers.. take a look at a full grown Turkey Buzzard upclose and do not forget that most (all) Eagles are also catagorized as scavengers. Scavengers are some of the most smartest and deadliest of critters.

Very impressive! A masterwork from one of the most talented animal modelers! As many Poser/Daz Studio users, I am indebted to your kindness of many fantastic animals that you have modeled with such understanding of vertebrate biomechanics, and kindly offered to the 3D artist community.

Wow, that's really nice work. As impressive as that T-Rex. is, your background is equally good. I'm always amused by the predator/scavenger debate. We still think of Lions as predators, even though biologists have known for years that they steal more kills than they make, after all. We really need to rethink what is a predator and what is a scavenger, IMHO. Very nice work!
