Here's the new Iguanodon next to the original. The shading is definitely a lot better, and I much prefer the newer, more natural colour scheme.

Dinovember Glow Up #17 - Iguanodon
Today we have a bull Iguanodon relaxing under the base of a tall tree. As my favourite dinosaur, Iguanodon is one I always want to do justice, and I'm quite happy with how this one turned out.

Here's the new Utahraptor pair next to the originals. Feel like the eyes on the new ones might actually be too big, but definitely feel like more dynamic poses are easier these days.

Dinovember Glow Up #16 - Utahraptor
Into the second half of Dinovember now, and today we have a mated pair of Utahraptors enjoying the last scraps of their latest kill. At least, until something interrupts them.

Here's the new Baryonyx next to the 2018 original. Gone are the days of lipless, whiskered spinosaurids, plus the new one doesn't look like it's broken its' neck.

Halfway there now, and today we have a Baryonyx striding in an almost shoebill-like manner. Somehow its' stare doesn't appear as intense though.

Here's the new Chasmosaurus next to the 2018 original. This might be my favourite glow up so far. The original was done at the time 'nose balloons' had been suggested for ceratopsids. I don't believe the idea has been disregarded, and I wanted to reuse it here.

Today we have an angry Chasmosaurus engaging in an elaborate threat display; flushing blood into its' frill to create bright colours, and inflating a pair of nasal sacs.

Today we have a Lambeosaurus quietly drinking from a stream. This 'zebra-pattern' is another colour scheme I've been using for years, and at this point I can’t imagine it looking any other way.

In today's piece, a pair of Daspletosaurus get into a brutal and bloody fight. Given that we know that Daspletosaurus was cannibalistic, it's not unlikely that the winner will end up eating the loser.
