Converting prehistoric animals

[Shade]

How's this for a description?

This immense canine resembles a giant hyena, with similar markings, but its fur is golden, akin to a lion's. It's piercing gaze and drooling leer add to its feral appearance.

A hyeanodon is about 8 feet long and weighs around 750 pounds.

OK, I was referred here by the First Edition MM page. Could I just volunteer to do the Monster Manual and Monster Manual II dinosaurs? And, if I did do so, where would I send them once they're done?

Conversion Update:
I've actually started, and gotten a ways, too. I'm through "d". This entails some 13 or so conversions. I might be done with the entire MMI and MMII dinosaurs by next week, if I keep up my current pace.

When I finish, should I post them as an attachment to this forum for critique?

wow, ok. sounds good. we'll probably post them with a bit o' editing, as needed.

actually, we'll most likely critique them one by one, to promote discussion.

Where? On this forum? I can start that at any time.
