The armor is fine, but the mouth looks a little beakish due to the color pattern... can't really see the teeth, are you sure you did that part right?

Yes, well...I added a few um....'lips' per artistic license to be honest....that's not a beak, it's just the color of the front of the face. I mean, without a lip to cover the teeth and gums, wouldn't they....dry out?

Yes, they did have lips. I don't dispute that, I'm not one of those weirdos who insist on drawing sauropods without lips or duckbills without cheeks. It's just that making them a different color at the front gives the impression of a beak like those of iguanodons. Not saying the color is wrong, just that the color scheme might confuse people who can't see the teeth so well.

BTW I don't think most sauropod lips were long enough to completely cover the teeth, especially not in big-toothed species. Bakker restored them that way but I take a more cautious route. The gums would easily have been covered though.

Oh...then okay! At least I made the front of the jaws smooth and black, not with ridges along it!

yeah, ridges would really look like a beak.

That'd be terrible
