Challenge 2 Dino

For this challenge i  thought it would be fun to do some research and pick one dinosaur my caveman person might come across and have to defend him self against. 

Ornithosuchus (meaning "bird crocodile") is an extinct genus of crurotarsan from the Late Triassic of Scotland. Originally it was thought to be the ancestor to the carnosaur dinosaurs (which then included Tyrannosaurus), however now it is known to be more closely related to crocodilians than dinosaurs.
Despite this relationship to crocodiles, Ornithosuchus was able to walk on its hind legs, like many dinosaurs. However, it probably spent most of its time on all fours, only moving bipedally when it needed to run rapidly. Its skull also resembled those of theropod dinosaurs, but more primitive features included the presence of five toes on each foot and a double row of armoured plates along the animal's back. Ornithosuchus was around 4 metres (13 ft) in length.[1]




So i just used my generic mesh  to use for scale and decided i wanted to go caveman style so i gave him a long spear with an obsedion blade so he can try cut him from a distance i figure he irritates him until he rears up then cuts his stomach open or something if his spear breaks he is just SOL.


Then for defense i figured he would use some sort of prehistoric tortoise shell in case the dino charges at him.


So he is nothing special and after posting it i do not like the shell texture but i wanted to have it done for today.
