Unreleased skins: Primeval Spinosaurus and "Eastern" Acrocanthosaurus

heres some skins that arent that great and real old (they were both made before my series Prehistoric)
First ones an fantasy "Eastern" species of Acrocanthosaurus that was going to be used in the first episode of Prehistoric but was replaced with the Deinonychus plot.



Acro Link

And heres the Primeval Spinosaurus featured in Prehistoric:


Spino Link

enjoy! and do your job Gorsh

First, Spinosaurus. There are very few referrences for Primeval spinosaurus which means it would be a pain in the arse. But of what I see on the skin, the texture on the lower parts of hind legs and whole arms (maybe the neck too ) is very scaly and layed at the strange angle, which gives this spinosaurus not very nice impression when you see into the details, zooming in closely. The body part is layed nicely, so is the sail and the tail. I can see that you have put some effort to make the head look realistic and laid the texture carefully, unfortunately nostrils stick to the very top of the head so it looks like a mix with a whale. There are not many joint issues, the most threatening are the ones on the neck and lower leg patches.
Overall, it's a nice skin and good option for Primeval series fans, but I have some doubts if everyone would use it continously, as there are some annoying little errors injuring the skin.

Second, Acrocanthosaurus. I know this texture and I remember how tricky it can be sometimes to be laid nicely. You did a good job laying it around the dinosaur, it looks naturally and lacks major joint issues - maybe except the upper front part of the thigh. First error is the neck texture. The 'bumps' on source were much smaller on the neck, also you have the scales laid horizontaly, while they should be angled a bit upwards. I can see no ear on the backside of the head. You should also try making new transparency around the Acrocanthosaurus' spine ridge, as with the bumps you have there and the serrations you applied, it looks somehow unnatural and weird.
The skin itself is nicely laid, you should put more work around the neck and head to make it more reallistic. It's also a good option to experiment with new shapes of the transparent parts of the ridge if you want to apply a texture like this.

Final rating from me:
Spinosaurus recieves three stars, you could have done better but it's still usable.

Acrocanthosaurus recieves three and half stars, it's good, but there are some minor errors damaging the final effect.

Fair nuff, Ive improved from those I think though. Would you agree?

Yes, considering when they were made, you have made some serious progress

No one or two word post! Read the rules!

Man, that Acro is incredible, as I'm seriously going to download that and I've seen a Primeval Spino before, or did you make that one?
