A JP-styled Psittacosaurus I did for fun. Ultimately, I think it looks better and more distinct with the quills even if they were only described after the first trilogy had wrapped (from what I can tell).

I'd been meaning to post more art here and it totally slipped my mind for a bit there.

But, with Jurassic World Evolution 3 coming out soon (including a host of baby dinos & other animals) I figured I'd share more of the hypothetical baby JP/JW animal designs I did a while back.

Stegosaurus

I guess not a notch the same way spinosaurs have it, but a lot of ceratopsians have some “crook” in their upper beak.

It has that same sort of sneering shape as the tip of the JP Spino’s snout, especially when people exaggerate the keratin, so it was a good jumping-off point.

It helps that some ceratopsians have the notch too, much easier to blend & integrate the Spino.

Some closeups

Sketches of the animals from Jurassic World Evolution 2's Secret Species Pack: Stegoceratops, Spinoraptor, Ankylodocus, and Spinoceratops.

Going off the Spinoraptors I posted recently, here's the sketch sheet that design arose from. This was done following Jurassic World Evolution 2 releasing their hybrid-centric DLC.

Here's a quick T. rex stop motion test I did yesterday, with a puppet I've made. I wanted to animate more, but I bumped into the camera 🙄

The puppet is made of wire and foam for the body. The head is made of a 3D print skull by Vitamin Imagination, and the "skin" is just unbaked sculpey

Apologies for the late reply. Yes, the plan is to upload more JP art here, sharing my older stuff every now and then. Though admittedly it’s slipped my mind, so I appreciate the reminder!

My take on JWE's Spinoraptor, with a color scheme based on the JWE2 Lux skin.

My take on JWE's Spinoraptor, with color schemes mixing the JP3 Spinosaurus with the raptors from JP & TLW respectively.

The built-in nightlight + some extras

My take on JWE's Spinoraptor, with color schemes mixing the JP3 Spinosaurus with the male and female raptor respectively from the same film.

My take on JWE's Spinoraptor, with color schemes mixing the Kenner Spinosaurus & Utahraptor as well as the JP3 CamoXtreme Jungle Spinosaurus with the mini Desert Velociraptor.

My take on JWE's Spinoraptor, with color schemes based on the JWE1 & JWE2 defaults, as well as one with a similar pattern but a "swampier" look.

Sharing some Spinoraptor color schemes while I'm working on other stuff.

And, if anybody wanted this to be a bit more overtly hybridized or amalgamated, I do have these two from a while back that really lean into the crocodile angle:

With the real design, it’s very much not my cup of tea. Feels very in line with the art direction of the JW movies and very far from that of the first 3 films. It follows the broad strokes of Spinosaurus without doing much else. Feels a bit too much like a Primeval design for me.

Really this was about making a JP (rather than JW) styled animal, that built off the actual animal to come up with a neat-looking design. I even leaned into the marine/semi-aquatic lifestyle and moved the nostrils to the top of the head, somewhat like a blowhole.

A closeup of my take on Rebirth’s Spinosaurus, focusing on the head and neck.

Preliminary sketches to figure out the pose and proportions.

Reference sheet for this design including screenshots from Rebirth’s trailer, JP3’s Spinosaurus, EdenBuster’s modern Spinosaurus, crocodile and basilisk pictures, and Smaug among other things.

I went a bit less “reject” with this one, but still kept the broad strokes (short neck, more accurate, gnarly look). I borrowed a lot from the textures of JP3’s Spino while still retaining some croc and made the skull more like Spinosaurus to highlight its distinctive look.

An illustration of an alternate take on the Spinosaurus from Jurassic World: Rebirth, with the main differences being a more defined spinosaurine skull, a slimmer but still shortened neck, and spikes along the sail on the tail. With the final design not yet revealed, it's hard to confirm what else counts as a notable change.

Here's my take on the Rebirth Spinosaurus!

I feel I've seen equal parts love and disdain for these guys, and frankly I'm with the latter. I don't love what I've seen so far, and being early attempts/more "modern" does not carry the design for me. Still much prefer JP3's.

Studying time

New painting! Featuring the pterosaur Sordes pilosus of late Jurassic Kazakhstan.

I think the new look is nice overall. I guess it’s lipped (though it doesn’t look it), don’t love the random osteoderms along the back, colors are OK, huge fan of the top lobe of the caudal fin just being a giant shark dorsal fin. Not sure if I like it more or less than JW’s yet.

The drawing without the meme caption. Maybe some plausible deniability of being dead, but that is a HEAVY animal to sit on the sand.

The lineart for this drawing.

The reference sheet for this piece, with trailer screenshots, pics of the toys, and the original article/meme it’s based off.

I made this partly for the joke and partly because I don’t have strong feelings towards it. Looks OK from what we’ve seen (if not absolutely colossal omg), but we haven’t seen much so I mostly went off merch. Not the best to work from, but it’s what I have.

A drawing of the Jurassic World Rebirth Mosasaurus washed up on a beach, surrounded by the three smaller spinosaurs. Text along the top riffing off an online article about a crocodile reads “Obese 200-foot-long mosasaur dies from overeating after spinosaurs keep throwing it children and boats for good luck”.

Did I make this solely because the Rebirth Mosasaur looks a little “portly” in the merch?

Yes, yes I did.

Similar to the Titanosaurus, I think this one ultimately looks OK, I'm just not crazy about it. Though I do kinda like the coloration and the idea of them nesting in Aztec/Mayan ruins carved into massive cliffsides is really cool.

A closeup of the head of the alternate take on the Quetz.

Sketches showing different iterations/ideas of beak shapes, crest shapes, and neck fuzz.

The reference sheet for this drawing, including the Rebirth design, the 90's Quetzalcoatlus, the Dominion design, the JP3 Pteranodon suit, art by Mark Witton, skeletal reconstructions by Randomdinos and LancianIdolatry, many species of hornbills, and a toucan.

I pulled a lot from different hornbill species to give it something similar to the "nose spike" in the trailer and serrations on the beak as in toucans to help with tearing flesh from anything too big to swallow. A bit of 90's Quetz skull made it in as well.

An illustration of an alternate take on the Quetzalcoatlus from the Jurassic World: Rebirth trailer, with the main differences being a thinner beak, a hornbill-like crest instead of the "nose horn", and serrations along the beak.

Next up it's the Quetzalcoatlus.

I've seen people say the Dominion look was perfectly fine and could've been used here again, and I generally agree with that. Though if they want to lean into the "wrong/unfinished" angle, I think some flashier head ornamentation might be nice.

The colors have enough going on, I like the stocky body, and I LOVE the overly long and flowy tail. But I don't love the seemingly reused Apato head with a domed nasal sac or the "fish fins" especially.

I get these are meant to be "flawed" or "unfinished" and I'm fine with the idea of a fantastical, "all-in one" sauropod, I think this looks fine on the whole. I just think there's a way to balance that while having more appeal and following the looks of earlier films.
