r/Dinosaurs

Hey guys!
It has been a dream of mine to model my own dinos for quite some time now.
Earlier there were no good ways to do it but nowadays there is (or maybe I wasnt able to find it)(shoutout to the goat OPALESSENCE3D on yt!)

I had tried blender before but honestly after 2 weeks I am sort of proud of myself!

Sharing the progress as for now, and would love your thoughts and ideas to better shape dinos in the future!

My goal for now is to recreate the scene from the doc Dinosaur Revolution!

Thanks for reading and checking out!

Both ‘shot’ and ‘hands’ used metaphorically. Right outside my door I get to see families of common gallinules (Gallinula galeata). Their chicks are known for having one (or two?) wing claws and giant feet fit for marshes. I was finally able to get a clear shot at a chick with 1600mm. It took some brightening, but I got a front claw.

Sorry for the bad photos lmao this is my first time messing with figure repainting as a concept

For me, my hot take is that scaly dinosaurs are better than feathererd dinosaurs. Before you get the pitchforks out, I’m not saying that feathered dinosaurs aren’t scary. I do agree that feathers dinosaurs can be scary, I mean just look at primitive war as an example. It’s just that aesthetically in my opinion, they look better. For example, i really like the croc like armor on the primal carnage T. rex and much prefer it over the primitive war T. rex from the comics. The croc like armor gives it a much more reptilian feel that I really like. The primal carnage T. rex is honestly the closest a depiction of T. rex has come to what I think of when I hear the word “T. rex“. Whenever i picture T. rex I imagine a mostly reptilian animal with black stripes and red coloration on the rest of its body with mostly small scales like that of a monitor lizard with feature scales or in layman term, larger scales (that aren’t osteoderms) like that of Carnotaurus on a few parts of its body. I also imagine T. rex to have lips and haver very few feathers.

Anyways getting back on topic, another scaly dinosaur design I like is todd Marshalls Spinosaurus. I really like all the dewlap and all the spikes the Todd Marshalls spinosaurus has. It really gives it this iguana look to it. In fact, I like depictions of dinosaurs that give them things like spikes or dewlaps in general.

This model was 3d printed and painted by me. Emphasis was on realism while maintaining visual interest.

What do y'all think?

In primary school I drew up a few comics about if dinosaurs had escaped their extinction by living on the moon instead. It was fun for a while but then I made the big leap to secondary school I forgot about all of those comics. Untill a few weeks ago

I had stumbled upon a project by CM Koseman and Simon Roy http://www.cmkosemen.com/dinosauroids.html

. It was about "what if the dinosaurs never went extinct?", it mostly focused on the early tribal stages of development which is cool ofc, but they briefly dabbled in the future if the dinosaurs with this moon landing images you see here drawn by Simon Roy. It awakened a deep dormant thing depe inside me and I really really need to draw my dinosaurs again... I even got permission from CM Koseman via email To use the space suit designs you see here in my drawings (with credit ofc).

GAHH SPACE DINOSAURS ARE SO COOL! I JUST WATCHED FOR ALL MANKIND SO ITS JUST SO COOL!!!

I Couldn't find anymore and I didn’t want to go through every Jurassic Clash bootleg on the Play Store.

I visited the ROM museum in Toronto, Canada, to see the dinosaur exhibit. The star of the show is the Barosaurus, which is one of the rarest and largest dinosaurs ever found. This is one of only five known in the world and the second most complete skeleton.

The story of this Dinosaur is interesting it was lost or forgotten for 40 years inside the museum backdoors , in the beginning they thought its a Supersaurus but then … for any one interested to see the full story I recommend ( Inside The ROM, Toronto | Museum Secrets 1/22 | Crime Scene TV ) on YouTube

I Also add some more shots for some other dinosaurs.

I also made Ice Age T-Rex model but reskin

Saw Montana’s T. Rex (formally known as Peck Rex) at the Museum Of the Rockies!!

Went this May long weekend... Almost cried of happiness and wondered where my childhood love for dinosaurs have gone...
