It's a matter of taste guys. Don't bash someone for using an anime/manga character as the human scale figure. What's important is that the scaling is correct, that's all.

maybe ;D
hahaha
I'm not bashing, I just don't like it in this instance, I actually like anime, but anime proportioned characters make the animal look bigger imo for some reason, anyway, they are his scales and he can do with them whatever he wants of course.

Haha, yeah the anime character's baby sized torsos make animals look much bigger in comparison.

Just thought I'd add this note.. It looks like Spinosaurus could have eaten Great white sharks, if they were around back then of course... ~16.5 meter Spinosaurus I modified from Hyrotrioskjan's wonderful 2/3d's Spinosaurus, with a slightly above average 4.9 meter Great white shark.  |

As the fish it preyed on were roughly 6 m long, this is unsuprising.

Based on the recent observations by Hartman, I don't consider 16.5 m a valid figure. But good work anyway.

Still significant, I don't say it's impossible but the animal should be longer tailed.

His old, 2012 version had a skull that was too big, that's why MSNM V4047 was the same size as the holotype back then, 14m, but it now grew 11% to 15.6m with the new smaller head with different proportions.
That Hyrotrioskjan drawing is based on Hartman's 2012 Spinosaurus, I don't know what changes you made to it (did you asked for his permission? I don't think he has it with a commons license) but assuming you didn't made any changes to it, that scale is showing an Spinosaurus with a greatest skull length approaching 2.1m.
But looking at his drawing I think you made the head smaller.

Actually, even the Spinosaurus aegyptiacus holotype would devour any extant shark. |

I'm not sure if S. aegypticus would have realy the theoretical ability to kill and subdue a full grown whale shark... The largest verified was 21 tonnes and there are strong clues of individuals above 35 tonnes.

And there is some account floating around with orcas struggling to kill one - these are tough mother f**kers. |

With a robust leather-like skin, thickness about 15 cm. I guess the account you refer is the two bull orcas attacking a 8 m immature individual off Baja. It took 39 hours, five harpoons and more than 100 bullets to subdue that 12 000-13 500 kg, 38-foot individual :  |
