73.5 million years ago in Late Cretaceous East Asia, the tyrannosaurid Zhuchengtyrannus magnus subdues a Sinoceratops zhuchengensis with its powerful jaws. Both of these dinosaurs’ fossil remains have been uncovered near the city of Zhucheng in China’s Shandong province. With a body length of 36 feet and a mass nearing five and a half tons, Zhuchengtyrannus along with the more northerly Tarbosaurus is a particularly close relative of the famous Tyrannosaurus rex within the tyrannosaurid family. Sinoceratops on the other hand belongs to the centrosaurine branch of the ceratopsian family tree alongside Styracosaurus, Centrosaurus, and Pachyrhinosaurus.
one thing that annoys me about jw is that it popularized the idea of ceratopsians with holes in their frills
those were ripped right off patchi the pachyrhinosaurus from walking with dinosaurs 3d
who specifically looks that way because of an *injury*
New Jurassic World dinosaur designs have had some good ones in there but oh man have there been some dire misses and the Sinoceratops is absolutely one of them
It's just,,,, ugly. The body is inexplicably shaped almost exactly like a rhinoceros which isn't even an issue that other JW ceratopsians have as much as this guy. The head is misshapen, the feet are wrong, the tail is huge for some reason. And yeah, The Frill Holes, which become even weirder given that the Sinoceratops seems to have replaced a previous design for Pachyrhinosaurus that didn't even have the frill holes?
Overall I just find it an unpleasant and uninteresting-looking animal. Which like, as far as I'm aware that seems to be a consensus even among JW fans so nobody's really big into this guy.
Ripping into bad JW designs is kinda old hat at this point and it just makes me grumpy so I'm not gonna do any more of them, but the Sinoceratops really does epitomise the laziness at the centre of the worst designs in the series. Unlike something like the Therizinosaurus or Oviraptor, it's clearly just made by people who didn't know what ceratopsians look like and didn't care enough to figure it out. Which is basically inevitable in a big dinosaur movie but it's still disappointing.
As such, I have drawn my own Sinoceratops! Note the smaller frill, bigger head, short tail and non-rhino-looking body and legs and feet!
Also amusingly Jurassic World Evolution later introduced an official Pachyrhinosaurus and they look way nicer!
For quite a long time now, I’ve been in a huge art block, everything I drew had something wrong or just wasn’t right. I would spend hours on a single sketch until I would get so stressed and frustrated I would just stop drawing for days and leave the art to forever sit in my unfinished art folder. I have been working on getting out of this rut so I tried drawing vent art of my dinosona Voltage the Sinoceratops to try helping to get out of this rut.
