Sketch of the dromaesaurid Shri rapax with the fossil

New dromaeosaurid, Shri rapax. What an amazing fossil!

Let me cook

As bad as that is, I think it's the latter.

I also have a working hypothesis that Universal has vetoed dinosaurs with place-names in their genus name, which is why we've never got Utahraptor or Argentinosaurus/Patagotitan

I would accept that, though if it is to be dinosaurs my preference is just that it's the Carnotaurus scene from The Lost World. The set already reminds me so much of how I imagined that scene.

Drawing of the pterosaur Thalassodromeus with colors inspired by the "Mutadon" from Jurassic World Rebirth.

I've seen lots of suggestions for what real prehistoric animal could have replaced the "mutadon" in Jurassic World Rebirth. Having seen the film now, I couldn't stop thinking what if it was a ground-dwelling predatory pterosaur, like has been suggested for Thalassodromeus.

Thank you!

Jurassic Park Dinosaurs Illustrated With Modern Science - JPT How has our understanding of the Jurassic Park dinosaurs progressed over time? We explore all we have learned since the Jurassic Park films.

This is a long-overdue follow up to this article I wrote & illustrated in 2020: jurassicparkterror.com/jurassic-par...

Its my birthday today, and good news!

You can celebrate by reading my fully illustrated new article on the prehistoric animals of Jurassic World Dominion, what we know of their life appearance & behavior, and how that compares to the film:

Quick thumbnail sketches of Two Medicine Formation and Cloverly Formation environments.

I have been enjoying doing these environment sketches in what little time I have.

Real but also their skin is like sandpaper

A few silly guys

Why are YouTube videos so long now? I keep seeing thumbnails I think look interesting and then see it is 1.5 hours... 2 hours... 3 hours long. No! Stop it!

That is rad

Diagramic reconstructions of a number of Cretaceous angiosperms for Prehistoric Kingdom's Mesozoic Temperate and Mesozoic Tropical biomes (2023).

Today I can share the Cretaceous angiosperms (for the Temperate and Tropical biomes) and Cretaceous Wetland plants I designed for Prehistoric Kingdom.

Sinners had extremely high expectations placed on it and it still somehow exceeded them. For one I didn't see anyone mention how good the music is??

I really like how these lines look and now I'm afraid to do anything else to them

Yeah I'll essentially be going just for that river raft sequence.

They should invent a high protein tortilla that isn't a low carb fad bullshit one

I can now share the "Jurassic Scrub" plants I designed/reconstructed for Prehistoric Kingdom!

I've already posted about this before but it is generally shocking how bad Google's AI overview they put on top of searches is. It isn't like it sometimes gets things wrong. It is ALWAYS wrong! You'd think they'd want to do something about that!

I have not, but I'd be happy to try it, thanks for the rec!

It's everything is what's crazy. Obviously the script is a million times better but the cast is great, the sets look great, it's really well shot, the music is great...

I don't really other than Andor

How does Andor have so much sauce?? Its crazy how much better it is than every other recent Star Wars thing.

No shade to the authors, it's not their fault I know, but God I hate textbook prices. Like what do you MEAN it's 230 buck for the kindle version??
