I remember catching a lot of flak and passive-aggressiveness when I started drawing scaly Rexes a a bit more more than a year ago, after so much time of feathering them. It's nice to feel somewhat vindicated. I wish people didn't pick sides as "feather lovers" or "scaly awesomebros" and just stuck to the side of scientific evidence and godamn parsimony.
I didn't say anything about accuracy. The Baryonyx design is just horrible and has no personality. Sticking to the original would be just one way of making it better but not the only one.
