Dinovember Glow Up #21 - Pachycephalosaurus
Today we have a Pachycephalosaurus taking a break from veggies by snacking on an unfortunate Chamops. I thought it was time to do a full-grown adult of this animal after only doing subadults before.

Two thirds of the way now, and today we mark that with a young adult Psittacosaurus tending to some unruly babies. The older animal is not the parent, but a babysitting older sibling.
