Arrhinoceratops brachyops

Description

Its been some time since I drew a ceratopsian
This is Arrhinoceratops, a ceratopsian I now since my childhood and like mixing up  tuojiangosaurus with kentrosaurus, as a child, I always had problems distinguishing between arrhinoceratops and anchiceratops, the similarity between names doesnt help . Arrhinoceratops is however much different from anchiceratops, for once, arrhiniceratops was much smaller  around 5 metres long. Its horns were pointed outwards a bit . The nasal horn was very small and at first it was thought that this dinosaur didnt have one (hence this dinosaurs name). Its frill was trapezoidal in shape .
´I used this amazing reconstruction as reference kana-hebi.deviantart.com/art/A… by kana-hebi kana-hebi.deviantart.com/
and  pics of teh fossil skull . The exact body shape of arrhinoceratops isnt known.

Awesome reconstitution!

However Anchiceratops' size was likely overrated, most of sources gave him a length of about 5m. So both animals were around the same size.
