   Both Dinosaurs were re-worked slightly. The Triceratops' frill spikes were rounded over and its mouth, which was way too wide was shortened.

Knight's classic Tyrannosaurus Rex  
   The Tyrannosaurus was re-worked even more. The head was tilted up slightly and the snout, which was shaped like an old shoe, was made narrower and re-sculpted with epoxy putty. The skin was originally wrinkled like an elephant's, similar to the Triceratops. The wrinkles were all filled in and smoothed out with putty. The skin was then re-textured with primer to more closely resemble the beast in the painting.
