How to make a Derposaur

Yet another obstacle in the road to finishing my Lego dragon...Oh well, I had fun posing it!
The T-Rex tutorial! ...Or, as mine came out to be, a Durp-o-saur tutorial...  First, we created a basic mud-dino - Then we added some detail through sculpting


Between videos three and four, the tutor Justin added what he called a "little" detail - (ha, LIES) Basically in video 3 his T-rex looked like mine, the one on the right - Then, in video 4, the one on the left appeared and I was immediately humiliated - I am sorry; I just do not know the muscle structure of a 6,000 year old beast


 So, instead of carefully trying to follow his realistic approach, I decided to unleash a hideous being upon the world instead

 During the stencil-creating tutorial, which I had bad luck with on the dragonfly tutorial, I failed at making a good-looking spine texture and instead created a spikelike stamp - Since I went to the trouble of trying to copy his stamp, I went ahead and inserted it anyway:


Then Justin had me make this lovely displacement map!


...But not after a quick but harmless program crash!



After coloring it and adding elf ears and a goatee, I realized it kind of looked like a demon...



But that did not stop me from creating half a dozen disturbing poses with it!!!

Here is its skeletal structure






Now can I get back to my dragon? PLEEZ?

Also all my finals (including the dragon) are due on Tuesday so this weekend should prove interesting...
