the only thing that kinda looks "not right" is that the parts all look a little to "seperate"

I would try joining the different shapes and seeing if it looks better but this effect is what you may have been after?

any ways... thanks for posting your wip afireinside

god this is truly the worst thing i've seen on SM soo far. Why did you even post this? Looks like a few primitives "Arranged" in the shape of a dino. Are those even merged or still seperate!? I would seriously go find some more tutorials. Do you even know what a vertex is? no cuz your stupid! How do you ever expect to become even a noob statis, i think you're working at a 3r year old level. I wouldn't quit you're day job dude......
