Did some research on an insanely underrated (albeit dubious) ceratopsian, Ceratops montanus!
Sketched it by both depictions it has; Marsh's, a stegosaur with horns on the back of its head and a modern take, based on Avaceratops, which it might be closely related to.
This new dinosaur is called Lokiceratops! The Holotype has an Asymmetrical Frill!

This dinosaur was just named two days ago. Although you can't see it because of the direction it's facing, this Lokiceratops I'm drawing doesn't have the asymmetrical horn because it's not specifically supposed to be the holotype individual, just a basic Lokiceratops.

(Ceratopsidae: Centrosaurinae) from the Campanian Judith River Formation of Montana reveals rapid regional radiations and extreme endemism within centrosaurine dinosaurs", CC BY 4.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=149557711
I'm here bringing a new kind of sketch to Dinopedia!
My art class had introduced cross hatching and pointillism as art forms, and the instructor wanted us to draw something using either method. I went with pointillism (I found it to be easier).
This Montanoceratops is the result of it.
I was originally going to make it Protoceratops, but changed it as Montanoceratops deserves more recognition.
Thanks to @SheepAlt for helping me decide if I color it or leave it, it looks great black and white.

In the episode A Visit from Thomas, originally named Oliversaurus after the excavator Oliver who found the fossiler (not to be confused with the number 11 engine also named Oliver).
This post is now open to Thomas and Friends and Dino fans alike!
The Longhorn (Megacornusaurus Colossus) is a gigantic chasmosaurine that's even bigger than a Spiked Behemoth (which is a centrosaurine). They are larger than Spiked Behemoths because they need to be able to fight Armored Tyrants, which are much bigger than Raptor Tyrants (which hunt Spiked Behemoths).
Spiked Behemoths (Styracotitan Horridus) are ceratopsians that is supposed to be kind of like a cross between a Styracosaurus and a Diabloceratops. They live in mountains and temperate forests. They are big enough to easily kill a Raptor-Tyrant (a megaraptoran from the mountains and temperate forests that I haven't drawn yet).
Yeah, there's this funky little green ceratopsian above the bottom right corner's Edmont
Nothing much more to say. I thought it was funny
Thanks Reddit for showing me this

Yep it is now a wastebasket taxon, as Saurolophus is a ceratopsian now and a few others are now ceratopsians and they are the gazelles of the ceratopsians using their single horns to ram into predators.
(This is satire)
The Nova Insula reboot is nearing completion, so I'd like to create some hype and give you all some sneak peeks. 👀
The fauna included will be a mix of Hell Creek, the Morrison, and Jehol Biota.
An "Evolutionary recap" will be included with each Generation, summarizing recent speciation, extinctions, and more.
The story section of old Nova Insula will be majorly overhauled, and each Generation may even have 2 stories incuded!
Both speciation and extinction will be greatly expanded upon, with different populations dividing into different species, allopatry (?), mass extinctions, and more!
Get ready for a wild journey in the evolutionary tides of this primal planet, coming soon!
