He's scary, but very cool-looking. Are you planning a Pachycephalasaurus, or have you done one? They're one of my favorites.

Another fine looking Dino, just one question? why are most of the Dino's so drab looking? Basically using the same dull grays, pinks and greens. Would you not think they would be more brightly colored?, as most of the up to date books describe. For instance the Achelousaurus, Was believed to have a very bright frill. Just a thought still like your work a lot and will still purchase them as you bring them out. There the best on the market.

Thanks for comments! I personally dont like easter-egg style coloring on big dinos.In nature there are more bright colors on smaller animals and poisones ones,they need it for camouflage.Than bigger animal,than less it needs this kind of feature (Like lizards-Komodo Dragon is almost single colored,small lizards have bright patterns.And there is always some dust and dirt on skin what makes it less contrast.Small,bird-like dinos could have bright colors,too.It is not so simple.Like feathers - now there is opinion that all dinos had feathers,but it is not so simple.There are lot of skin samples that show no signs of feathery structures at all (like Juravenator). But unfortunately nobody knows the truth.Thanks again!

I like the more subdued colors. Also, for those items that Raul has offered for purchase here at Renderosity, he always includes the texture template so you can create your own color patterns if you desire.
