This another original character for my version of Speckles the Tarbosaurus 2. As I've said before, the main antagonist of my version of Speckles 2 is a Saurophaganax named Skal, I've also mentioned how he has teammates, and this here is one of them.
Brisk is an Ichthyovenator Desenfonído, which translates to "Fish Hunter Sharp Blur". His species was named this way due to their incredible speed of 30 miles per hour. He stands at a height of 15 feet tall and is 37 feet long.
Brisk has a long snout, slit pupils, triangle shaped stripes, small scutes on the back of his head and neck, and a prominent crest. In terms of personality, Brisk is somewhat of a daredevil. With him not being scared of taking on bigger prey. He is probably the most arrogant member of Skal's team due to his eagerness to battle with larger dinosaurs.
When it comes to fighting, Brisk uses his teeth and his sharp claws to do the damage, and often leaves opponents with several deep wounds. But he doesn't kill them immediately. He does however, make sure that they leave a blood trail for him so that when he finds them again, he can finish the job. Some would say he loves to play around with his prey because in his mind, they'll taste better.

Here is mine, how does urs look?
(protathlitis is in B)
What makes a dominant species? The question is incredibly broad, so to help us all out, here are some rules:
-The species must have been on top of its food chain
-The species must have lived the longest, compared to its relatives
In addition, if these specifications were not enough, the comparison of ammunition should also be considered; which animal had the most deadly claws, or other features.
I remember doing a presentation in high school on which spinosaurid was the most dominant in its geological timeframe. I compared information gathered on wikipedia between the species. Which one had the least competition, had the most, carnivorously dominant traits, and duration of the species existence.
My final, unbiased, answer, was Oxalaia, a long time ago.
I was really young at the time, I have not educated myself on the recent evidence regarding this family of prehistoric reptiles, may someone inform me about my, most likely incorrect, analysis, and how off I was at the time?

Edit: I used the Angaturama Holotype, it should be SMNS 58022 for Irritator not USP GP/2T-5
If you want the sizes, I gotchu
Spinosaurus aegyptiacus-14.5 Meters, 8.35 Tonnes
Suchomimus tenerensis-12.14 Meters, 5.4 Tonnes
Siggilmassasaurus brevicolis-11.7 Meters, 4.7 Tonnes
Riparovenator milnerae-10.54 Meters, 3.32 Tonnes
Oxalaia quilombensis-10.3 Meters, 3.32 Tonnes
Baryonyx walkeri-8.5 Meters,1.7-2.5 Tonnes
Ichthyovenator laosensis-8.5 Meters, 2.2 Tonnes
Irritator challlengeri-5.6? Meters, 1 Tonne
And no shitty tooth taxons are allowed here(Yeah may seem hypocritical to say that while adding Oxalaia and Siggilmassasaurus but Siggilmassasaurus is a cooler name than Spinosaurus and I wanted to use a quad Spino somehow)
All these drawings are based on these wonderful skeletals

(Believe me this fight is 100% fair and not unfair at the slightest.)
In the first corner we have Indovenator (which fun fact: He is my OC)
He is 8 feet tall (including the sail), is 17 feet long, and weighs about 560 pounds, but don't let his weight fool you as he can take down creatures as large as a T. rex, and he is also very intelligent and cunning able to strategize ways to take down his opponents.
And on the other corner we have this uh raptor? Spinosaur? Dino-bird? Dude what the hell is this abomination? Looks like OP just took body parts of various theropods and mashed them together and called it a new creature, with a very long AF name here's the name for yall it is the Jamenscemonguanlagaglinsis yeah, we are not calling it that we're just gonna call it Jam. Because its short like much shorter than that original name of which goddamn 26 letters for 1 name, and you're better off writing all 26 letters of the alphabet instead of this name. (ok rant aside here's what it looks like credit to FreddyFan95.)
Well due to the person making that creature not adding in a description about it I'll do it myself. So my estimate is maybe 4 or 5 feet tall (including the sail), maybe 14 feet long, and perhaps 134 pounds? (this is speculation none of this is official so do take this estimate with a grain of salt.)
Well, who do you think would win?
I repainted the Roar Attack Ichthyovenator. Two day process. The original is on the left and repaint is on the right. How (speculatively) accurate are each's colors and any notes if I were to redo it?
Ok so I wasn't expecting to make another post so quickly after the Ichthyovenator repaint post, but that one went well and some wanted to see more of my work. So here's my other repaints (that I have currently):
Proceratosaurus - the OG (and my OG Proc [who's claws I painted to test it out before repainting other boi]) is on the left and repaint on the right. This is my first repaint done in 2021 and I didn't quite know what I was doing back then.
Gallimimus - it took a while for me to do another repaint - this one done in late 2022 - but here it is. More realistic coloring than the OG (left) (repaint right). Unlike the Procerato, I knew what I was looking for in this thing's pattern and managed to get what I wanted.
Ichthyovenator - this is the guy who's post went better than I thought. On the left is the original, right is the repaint. I based its pattern on an image I saw on google and found it very appealing, and realistic. The blue/white on the head was difficult since Mattel's model doesn't have a crest, but I improvised and find I did good.
Kosmoceratops - I've got three of these, two repainted. OG on the left, other two are repainted. The middle one is based on Dino Dan's Kosmo, right is just a color I came up with. The horns were the hardest to paint because of their size and closeness to the skin.
Species I have yet to repaint, but are ready to, are:
Dsungaripterus
Atrociraptor
Moros intrepidus
Therizinosaurus
Tyrannosaurus rex
Giganotosaurus
*Something I forgot to say, although they're primed and painted, all of their joints and action features still work. The Ichthyo is Roar Attack and it still roars.
