Hey guys! Decided to make this thread for the simple reasons that there are no good dino-making tutorials at the moment and to offer my services for people who want advice on their creations. Here are a few things I would reccomend you read before posting:
~Criticsm: I will offer two kinds of criticism for you. Light Criticism and Heavy Criticism. Light Criticism is for people the less experienced. I will be fairly easy on you, and only point out the basic or most major flaws in the creation. Heavy Criticism is for the perfectionists. I will be extremly hard and nitpicky with you and point out whatever errors I see. If you want critique, please state which of the two options. Due to the fact that Spore works on a different computer, it would be more convenient and appreciated if you could provide and good ingame picture of it, so that I will not have to download a bunch of stuff and will be able to get back to you much faster.
~Tutorials: If you would like to have a tutorial on a particular subject, please say so and I will get to it when time allows. I will offer tutorials for both creatures and vehicles/spaceships. Please, no land mammals. Land mammals are my weakness and I will not be able to provide you with a good example, however most marine mammals are fine. All tutorials will be complete with pictures.

First of all, 'Rausauchanis' is not a living species, which makes reviewing it harder. I am assuming what you are looking for is the family Rauisuchia, of which there are several species. However there are some general things I can tell you. The hips should be raised a bit. The fact that their rear legs were longer than their front legs meant there bodies had a bit of a downwar slope. The neck should also be a little shorter and lowered so it is more level with the body.

Excuse me for saying this in your teaching forum, but I could teach you how to do land mammals, I'm fine with those.

Ah, I can see them now. I am assuming the second pic is supposed to be the juvenile? If so you might want to give it feathers. Aside from that though, those are decent pics to base the creations off of.

How many feathers? My goal is to do the fuzzy one, then the other one, then the Vally of the T-Rex. The juvi is done, now I just need the baby and the Male and Females.

The thing about feathers is that, with T. rex at least, that is where your creative license comes in. Nobody knows how many feathers it had, if it even had any. Its all speculative. If it were me, however, I would go with the baby covered in down, the juvenile midly feathered (with feathers on its tail, the back of its head, its arms, and possibly around its back/shoulders and/or breast) and none on the adults.

What about the feather crest I see sometimes on the adults? I'm thinking crest and "wings" on the juvi, which I still need to add. WEll, not really crest, more like quills.
