Description

This is part of a series of images I created for the Gualicho shinyae article on Wikipedia. The colouration was suggested by spinosaurus1 who thought a tan colouration with white spotting on the throat would look good.
The line art was drawn by spinosaurus1 and can be seen here: spinosaurus1.deviantart.com/ar…
The skull was shortened somewhat from the original lineart after the image reviewer IJReid had this to say...

"I think I know how to best generalize the skull so that it won't be considered inaccurate later on. Shorten the shout so that the very front of the premaxilla is at the back of where the nostril is currently. If Gualicho is a neovenatorid, its a basal one, and it probably had a skull more like Neovenator than Murusraptor. If Gualicho is a noasaurid, it would have a skull about the same proportions as I propose, being in between taxa like Masiakasaurus and Limusaurus. If Gualicho is a coelurosaur, it would also have a slightly boxier skull, only derived taxa such as Xiongguanlong, Alioramins and Murusraptor have the very slender snout."
