Nemegtosaurus mongoliensis

Description

One of my current side projects aims to depict most of the large and some of the small dinosaurs from the Nemegt formation, so why not start with this one? sauropods are cooler than many people give them credit for. The spikes and dermal armor are speculative additions based on its relative Ampelosaurus and a medium sized Iberian titanosaur's large round and pointy osteoderms and the configuration in which they were restored. It also seems feasible to me that Nemegtosaurus and/or Opisthocoelicaudia (and I'm assuming they are the same here) would need extra protection against the local Tarbosaurus, since their size alone wouldn't probably have offered a good enough advantadge. A striking color pattern, the kind that says "stay the hell away" would have helped as well.
