Well...I saw Jurassic World. Have to admit that I didn't like it very much. But whatever~
Still love Dinosaurs *_*
The Original Jurassic Park is still one of my favorite Movies of all time. And it actually was the movie that got me into drawing...so it really means a lot to me *nods*
Anyway, so here have some Raptors~ I love Jurassic Park Raptors AND scientific Raptors~ As long as they have that elegant birdlike movement they are all awesome XD

but this one is http://paulsereno.uchicago.edu/disc.....rodontosaurus/
I don't even know this (game?)~ Is it this? http://i.ytimg.com/vi/FW9vsrPWujI/m.....resdefault.jpg
Yes thats it, or at least artwork for it.... the basics of the game is you wash up on a beach on an island full of dinosaurs, naked. Your only goal (starting out) is to survive by any means.
You can tame dinosaurs, build fortresses, establish territory, war with other players/clans (if your playing online), adventure, fight large bosses (best done with tons of friends obviously), and more yet to be seen.
Yes it is in alpha right now, and there are points and parts where that shows, but it looks like Ark SE is going to be one of the biggest/best survival games on the corner this year if not in recent history.

But then you have douchebag high level players who goes around griefing lowbies by ganking and killing them as well as destroying your bases and killing your tamed dinosaurs while you are logged off.
If you want to get anywhere in the game, play on a Private or PvE server. And for the love of God, don't create a character on a PvP server. Just don't...

I'd have to respectfully disagree because... a lot of the dinosaurs in ARK are terrible. The Dilophosaurs are small, spit venom and have JP neck frills. The Utahraptors are basically JP raptors with feathers taped on and I'm not even touching the sauropods or the ornithschians...
If you DO want a dino-based game with accurate dinosaurs as you can get, I strongly suggest you check out Saurian!

Oh yas, me too <3
xane was talking about it so much, showing me pics and stuff then telling me I can't share them with anyone else :B
Play as a real dinosaur eee, definitely fun!
I can't even play ARK, none of my computers can xD
New laptop - can't even launch w/o Out of Memory crashes
Old laptop with no working fan - can play barely, but water shaders are borked and only at minimum settings. Single digit FPS
Big desktop - same as above, but the water looks like water and not toxic chemicals
Raptors are pretty though, and I agree with you above - both styles can be adorable and lovely depending on how they're handled x)

The Dilophosaurus is represented accurately in size

Ill give you the one on the spitting but as the weakest predator I can understand them breaking realism to give it a edge other then pack hunting with one so easily laid out for them.
The Frills due to their soft nature, if they existed, would not preserve to provide evidence of its existance or very little. Scientists as far as I know still debate to this day if frills existed. Sure it might be glorified for cinematic purposes. A ton of animals in the world have similar mechanisms to make themselfs look bigger, look tougher, scare away predator and so on. The Dilo being such a small carnivore could have adapted them at one point due to being small and needing a defense mechanism to help its survival. We may never know.
Alot of "Facts" about dinosaurs are still a mystery and till we find every spieces frozen in ice perfectly perserved or make a time machine to see for ourselfs. Saying something is or isnt accurate, is best left to professionals till then. My statement was focused more on the raptors then any other spieces due to the picture that spawned this discussion. As far as representing other spieces go, yes they may not use the whole accepted idea of what they look like but they certainly could have done far worse then JP's mistakes.

From what I remember of screenshots the dilo always looks rather small, but huh.
As for the frills on Dilophosaurus, there's no structure that suggests an elabourate feature like that. Even in frilled lizards you have evidence for the frill in the skeleton; https://c4.staticflickr.com/8/7028/.....e23702fc_b.jpg even though most of the rods are cartilagenous you have bones and a structure that supports it. There's no evidence for one; in everything from extinct crocodilians (dinosaurs are archosaurs after all) to modern day birds. We've no fossilised evidence for any kind of dramatic display structure that isn't feathers or a crest. Also Dilophosaurus wasn't a small carnivore for it's time; it was one of the larger dinosaurs and quite capable of defending itself from just about everything else around it; so the hypothesis that it needed one to scare off bigger carnivores has no logic.
And whilst we can't know everything about dinosaurs there is a LOT we can infer these days from both the bones and the impressions fossils leave behind. We know that dinosaurs like Velociraptor and other maniraptors were feathered. Velociraptor even preserves the quill attachment sites for large feathers JUST like modern birds. We can also identify colour and occasionally pattern from the impressions around the bones which is why we know Anchiornis was black and white with a red crest, Microraptor was a glossy crow-black and Sinosauropteryx was a gingery red with pale tail stripes.
For it's time, the first Jurassic Park was marginally accurate. They chose to ignore current science standings in favour of movie monsters and to be honest, the Ark probably could have gone that way too. I'd have preferred it, really, instead of them half-assing things like putting out a Utahraptor that is basically a Velociraptor ingens with... feathers glued on terribly.
And before you tell me I'm attacking you I'm really not; I'm simply tossing information at you. Making statements like "They actually used the latest scientific idea of what they looked like (feathers and all) instead of buying in for popular media representation." iiiiis a little bit of a lie. It's like saying you made your own bird by taking a plucked chicken and sticking feathers back on 5% of it's body.

First I never claimed you where attacking me.
As far as your arguments your right but infer does not mean proven fact. I'm not going to pretend to be a expert but the raptors over jp have feathers and the proper name for the species. Sure the feathers are light and tacked on in appearance at the time but it's also early access. Don't expect release quality models from a game this young.
Disagree with me all you like but the raptors are closer to science fact as we stand today not science fiction like jp is promoting.

You didn't but you did lower down so I covered my bases!
They have the name Utahraptor but look very little like an actual Utahraptor ostrommaysorum.
They're still no closer to science fact than the JP raptors. The broken wrists, mammal legs and overall general shape IS a JP raptor. There's no changing that?
I don't hold out much hope for the finished model, though.

As far as I can tell and know other then the wrist issue and alot more reptile texture/apperance with feathers, they are rather close to Utahraptor ostrommaysorum. The only main issue I see is that they are underfeathered.

I dont even know what you mean by mammal legs....

Not to rain on your parade but they absolutely did not use the latest scientific data lol. The game dev even said that the team wasnt shooting for scientific accuracy, but something that looked cooler ( http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/.....al_Evolved.php) and if youre idea of 'feathers and all' is slapping a mohawk on a Jurassic Park raptor than Im afraid youre sorely mistaken.
I don't know if people disagreeing with your assessment is considered ripping on you.
Most of them don't seem to have malicious intent, but rather seek to correct you since they feel your assessment is inaccurate.
Where as someone ripping on you would imply that they are simply trying to hassle and ridicule you for the sake of being assholes.
I understand being tired of the comments back, of course, especially since some of them are along the lines of 'lulz you wrong'.
But, I suppose that's the joy of putting an opinion out there. Some people will end up trying to argue or correct said opinion.

I dont mind a good argument but the part that really upset me about it is instead of joining the existing argument/conversation, Kialish to me at least seemed to want to make a point of starting his/her own "thread" to argue with me and did it in the "lulz you wrong" kind of way rather then presenting facts, proof, or a decent argument.
The only argument I got out of his post was that the developers where not going 100% full scientific fact simulation. That how ever does not disprove what I said earlier in my opinion so other then doing it to try and prove im wrong with out proving me wrong, why did they bother posting?

Chickens already look like demons *_* http://blog.mlive.com/exposure/2009.....%20chicken.jpg
I did like that they said they pretty much werent "real" dinos an made for the theme park's WOW factor.
"Bigger, more teeth" etc x3
An yea I didn't like the whole nagging the woman to be more motherly kinda shit, the young boys were boring an whiny but other than that, enjoyed the movie cause DINOS :D

Jaaah! Ich dacht mir schon ich wär die einzige der das auffällt. Sie sind irgendwie...fetter bzw. sehen schwerer aus, aber bewegen sich viel schneller O_o das war so seltsam und so unrealistisch! Außerdem haben sie komische Augen (I shall call it "nictitating membrane overuse syndrom")
I wouldn't even have minded the featherless giant made-up look they had in the movie if only they'd had the proper hand posture (like yours does). They look more like Utahraptors anyway, and there's speculation that due to where they lived, Utahs didn't have feathers.
I dunno, they're all made up movie monsters. XP

Aww man, I loved the new one. Was so much better than the last disaster they came out with.
I'm excited to see this picture though, I was actually hoping you'd do more dino art in theme with movie release.
I loved that 3d T-rex one you did a while back, it was amazing. ;o;
