I like that skin texture on the neck! Are those just longer feathers at the base of the tail or is the tail itself fat?

I'm working on an Alectrosaurus as well! I like the light fuzz layer you used here; is there a fat deposit of sorts in the cheek(s) as well?

Thank you! Yes, it's cheeks. I was inspired by this masterpiece. renum63.deviantart.com/art/T-r⦠In modern birds there is a likeness of the cheeks, and dinosaurs closer to birds than to lizards, so I drew this animal in this way.
