idea for a sword dance picture. would be pretty complicated with the multiple figures and how stegosaurs have plates across their back, but i think i might save this for a future painting.
also, after sketching it out i think it might make more sense that stegosaurs would have a traditional thagomizer dance where they face away from each other and cross tails etc.
I imagine that traditional combat arts and the dances that stem from them might be performed by pairs, who each is watching the back of the other. A whirling dance with neither leading, mutual trust
