Let's see..
Overall it's an improvement as far as art goes, but doesn't feel the same as the old mortiking.
The eye has gone from deep red to a pink colour. Not a big deal, just something that sticks out to me. The face has become considerably fatter. I know it's supposed to look Tyrannosaurus like while the other dino is supposed to look like a raptor. The art styles are so different, it really wouldn't be too big a deal to thin out the face a little. Right now it looks a Tyrannosaurus who just sits at a McDees and is served bronto burgers everyday. I was expecting it to look a little more muscular, which I am sure the artist can pull off. It also looks like it's sporting a double chin.
The line art is an improvement from the Serpenth, but it's practically none existent under the chin. Not to mention it's way too thin. At least it doesn't waver between super thin and super thick this time. I cant really tell because it's pencil thin.
I don't understand the new trend lately with random shadow lines on creatures. I'm trying to understand what kind of lighting gets that. It doesn't make it look as though the stomach is smooth, like it has ridges almost. The line art, as I just realized, does waver, as it shows in the feet, but that's not what bugged me. As everyone said, the talon/claws just don't look sharp. It's like this Dino is going for bling and instead of sharp claws, it dipped it's weapons in gold and decided to look overly shiny instead? I mean the effect is lovely on the horn but too over powering on the claws. I'm sure if it was hunting an animal, the shine off it's claws would alert it of danger.
I really think, despite my crits, that it IS an improvement, but it can be further improved. Obviously is has far more dimension and the colouring is superb in comparison. Just needs tweeking.
