Alright some more art. This one is of the kitchen scene from Jurassic Park of the Velociraptor Antirrhopus. However, they are scientifically accurate. Yeah I know the human isn't the best I think I focused in more on the dinosaurs than the human lol.

i am not trying to be mean but people who don't know the most basic things about dinosaurs and related mesozoic reptiles should not be posting about them so confidently

Pycnonemosaurus is one of my favourite dinosaurs in Path of Titans. Its playstyle is built on a large focus on attack and speed, which has been traded for lower defense and slow health recovery rate. While it can both bite and headbutt, its biggest strength during hunts and fights is to run its opponent down and deliver ramming charge attacks, sending the opponent flying. Good turning speed means it will be difficult for most opponents to follow you as you dance around them.
Mine is named Moongrowl and he's currently wearing a cheetah-inspired skin with a striking blue neck. When I play as him I spend a lot of time wandering in search for prey. When he's too full to hunt I play him as curious and playful instead. It's interesting how into character you can get and how your playstyle changes depending on what you play as. With Moongrowl I know he's powerful enough to attack a lot of opponents and that he can outrun those he can't, so I walk calmly in the open with him.

Alright fuck it- to ignore some shitty things I've seen today I'm making a post on this project early.
Thanks to this lovely idiot @cromatheskeleton /pos we now have a rather extensive DSMP au where we've effectively thrown the characters into a Jurassic Park type setting.
So long story short I want to talk about it but don't know where to start, thus, I request questions! Whatever you want to know on the au, who lives, who dies, what dinosaurs will be featured- all of it! Any and all questions welcomed cause I love this project and it needs some fleshing out anyways!! As a note pretty much all of the dsmp cast is present, minus like the ghosts- so yeah.
As a summary though: Based on Jurassic Park both the novel and the movie franchise, SBI + Ranboo are brought to an offshore island to be the first to experience the new wonder of modern technology and engineering that is Jurassic Park- while things are fine for the weekend disaster inevitably strikes courtesy of an ill timed and powerful storm, leaving the visitors and staff stranded and cut off from the outside world on an island populated by dinosaurs and various other fauna who've been brought back from the grave. [Taking ideas from JP The Game, The Lost World & JP3 for the latter events]

I know people like to harp on about the inaccuracies of the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park/World series but could you imagine if the t-rex and raptors were scientifically accurate in Jurassic World? The big “that thing is part raptor” reveal would immediately lose all effect-
This big winged brightly coloured bird like- girl bobbing her head and flapping her arms like a chicken while also having the facial features of a Komodo dragon fused with a hippo on steroids just standing there in front of Owen, Barry, the ingen hit squad and the raptor squad just staring back at them and all everyone else can say is- “Ya think?!”
(Any artists out there, please feel free to add doodles to enhance the satire of this post)

EXACTLY! Seriously, our view of prehistoric life, especially dinosaurs, has rapidly evolved over the years. We can't rely on one aspect without the other because we need both to get a (mostly) accurate picture. Even the paleoart itself reflects our changing views and it's important to remember that. The paleoart you see is speculative, based on evidence we have since we only know so much about these creatures.
Speaking of...Speculative Evolution/Biology is using our scientific knowledge and our imagination combined to create fauna, flora or more that could be theoretically possible. (Or at least believable in its own reality.) Without the science, the art would be just fantasy without the grounding of facts. Without the art, we would have a harder time visualising everything. (As well as taking creative liberties where applicable.)
The idea you can't have science and art be together is silly.
“the arts and sciences are completely separate fields that should be pitted against each other” the overlap of the arts and sciences make up our entire perceivable reality they r fucking on the couch

Idea for an animated kid's movie/comedy.
So there's this dinosaur park that's a thinly veiled Jurassic Park knock-off (call it Cretaceous Island), and it's a bit of a toy story situation, in that the dinosaurs can talk and communicate when the humans aren't looking, mostly at night.
The dinos don't really want to break out since they like their cushy zoo lives and five-star treatment from the staff, so they're willing to get oggled by a bunch of twelve year olds to keep the food coming.
Out main characters are a T-Rex, two raptor sisters, and a wise old triceratops. The raptors are bored with their lives and long for adventure, the triceratops is a wise-old mentor figure, and the T-Rex is lonely since the park won't engineer any other T-Rex's for safety reasons.
Through magical shenanigans they get sent back to the actual Cretaceous period.
Now these pampered genetically engineered dinos have to survive in the savage dinosaur era. To underscore the differences between them, the future dinos are animated as pretty standard cartoon dinosaurs, a la Land Before Time, while the dinosaurs from the past are animated to be as scientifically accurate as possible.
The dinos go through shenanigans, amke friends in the past, evade predators, and eventually make their way home through magic portal stuff, except for the T-Rex who elects to stay behind since he's fallen for a female T-Rex he met in the past. His friends are sad to leave him behind, but go to the present anyway.
Back in the present, the dinos think nothing has really changed, but they find that the exhibit in the visitor's center, previously a single roaring T-Rex skeleton, has been replaced with two T-Rex's, famous for being found fossilized together called "The Deadly Lovers", and its their friend and the mate he found in the past. It ends on the bittersweet note.

TF2 x JP/JW
Team Fortress 2 x Jurassic Park/World AU (DINO version) Pt.3
Gravel Wars turn into… Dino wars, two teams fighting in enclosed areas for human entertainment - and Especially for scientists to analyze the behaviors and strengths of the ancient beasts.
"Welcome to Mercenary Park!"
Tumblr media Tumblr media
what each class represents (but not necessarily limited to):
Sniper : Spinosauridae / Australovenator
Heavy : big dino  
Engineer : Ceratopsidae 
Pyro : Any dino/hybrid that can wear a mask
Scout : FAST AS FOK 
Soldier : Pachycephalosauridae
Demoman : armored  
Medic : Therizinosaurus… Idk   
Spy : fancy looking dino / Iguanodon / Deinocheirus
alternate glasses, Spy mask & skin + Demo's eyes:
Tumblr media
RED and BLU teams have different dinos – e.g. RED Scout is Gallimimus and BLU Scout is Velociraptor (Except both Medics are Therizinosauruses but they do look different).
Initial idea was that the RED team's counterparts (BLU) were scientifically accurate dinosaurs. I'm leaning more towards to the idea that all mercs can be drawn to look more scientifically accurate if wanted. But whatever, it's not serious stuff: it's all about bone headed Sollys rocket jumping into the moon to capture the flag.
main references: Jurassic World Evolution games & JW:Dominion

Here’s a revised version of an ask this is the same anon that sent you two others
 I saw someone questioning whether there were any DP x DC x jurassicPark fics so here’s an idea this is an uncle Waylon AU along with redeemed Vlad redeemed, Dan and a few other clone siblings au, and embodiment of the realms Danny au, so Jack Fenton and killer croc are brothers their father is the one who made Jurassic Park. They were a proof of concept that humans could be made better with dinosaur DNA so jack passing is a full human went on to live a normal life and everything goes the same Danny wind up in his accident except in his accident, this fuses him to the realms itself and he becomes the will of the realms instinctually, protecting and taking care of all of its inhabitants But there was another thing that the accident did it awakened the dinosaur DNA and made it to where in both living and ghost forms he could shape shift into dinosaur something that extends to all of his clones and when the old founder of Jurassic Park dies, Danny is named the heir ( so I do want to state that Danny is reforming the Jurassic Park and turning it into a sanctuary in the original ask that got confused) now he hast to go to all sorts of high Society social events while hiding the fact that he has powers ( and one of them is to talk with the dinosaurs in this the dinosaurs would have the amount of intelligence to be reasoned with ) while hunting for his long lost uncle in Gotham Of which he has to disguise his reason for being there as setting up another park ( the new park and the dinosaurs already exist in Gotham but it was never open to the public and somehow even managed to stay under the bats radar. They had bigger problems to deal with at the time and Danny’s trying to get that turned into a sanctuary as well ) the batfam are not happy with the idea because of rumors they’ve heard about not enough safety precautions back on isla sorna but they’re already seems to be a pack of very mischievous (not scientifically accurate ) velociraptors and they keep trying to lure certain batfam members away (i.e. red hood, Damien and Tim maybe the entire batfam but they always try and lure them one at a time they learned from the first encounter that wound up with them almost captured that the bat in groups are a lot harder to deal with than one on one ) meanwhile Danny and co are trying to get the undead and liminal to come with them so that they can get a doctors check up (doing so at the request of Lady Gotham) and they’re also wondering why the entire Wayne family is liminal

Crystal Palace Field Trip Part 3: Walking With Victorian Beasts
[Previously: the Jurassic and Cretaceous]
The final section of the Crystal Palace Dinosaur trail brings us to the Cenozoic, and a selection of ancient mammals.
Tumblr media
Image from 2009 by Loz Pycock (CC BY-SA 2.0)
Originally represented by three statues, there are two surviving originals of the Eocene-aged palaeotheres depicting Plagiolophus minor (the smaller sitting one) and Palaeotherium medium (the larger standing one).
The sitting palaeothere unfortunately lost its head sometime in the late 20th century, and the image above shows it with a modern fiberglass replacement. Then around 2014/2015 the new head was knocked off again, and has not yet been reattached – partly due to a recent discovery that it wasn't actually accurate to the sculpture's original design. Instead there are plans to eventually restore it with a much more faithful head.
These early odd-toed ungulates were already known from near-complete skeletons in the 1850s, and are depicted here as tapir-like animals with short trunks based on the scientific opinion of the time. We now think their heads would have looked more horse-like, without trunks, but otherwise they're not too far off modern reconstructions.
There was also something exciting nearby:
Tumblr media
The recently-recreated Palaeotherium magnum!
This sculpture went missing sometime after the 1950s, and its existence was almost completely forgotten until archive images of it were discovered a few years ago. Funds were raised to create a replica as accurate to the original as possible, and in summer 2023 (just a month before the date of my visit) this larger palaeothere species finally rejoined its companions in the park.
Compared to the other palaeotheres this one is weird, though. Much chonkier, wrinkly, and with big eyes and an almost cartoonish tubular trunk. It seems to have taken a lot of anatomical inspiration from animals like rhinos and elephants, since in the mid-1800s odd-toed ungulates were grouped together with "pachyderms".
Tumblr media
———
Tumblr media
Next is Anoplotherium, an Eocene even-toed ungulate distantly related to modern camels.
(Apparently the sculpture closest to the water is a replica of a now-lost original, recreated from photo references in the same manner as the new Palaeotherium magnum. I can't find a definite reference for when this one was done, though – I'd guess probably during the last round of major renovations in the early 2000s, at the same time as the now-destroyed Jurassic pterosaur replicas?)
Anoplotherium commune is a rather obscure species today, but it was one of the first early Cenozoic fossil mammals to be recognized by science in the early 1800s. Depicted here as small camel-like animals, the three statues are positioned near the water's edge to reflect the Victorian idea that they were semi-aquatic based on their muscular tails.
Today we instead think these animals were fully terrestrial, using their tails to balance themselves while rearing up to reach higher vegetation. Their heads would also have looked a bit less camel-like, but otherwise the Crystal Palace trio are still really good representations.
Tumblr media
———
Tumblr media
Next is a sculpture that's very easy to miss in the current overgrown state.
Who's that peeking over the bushes?
Tumblr media
Going all the way around to the far side of the lake reveals a distant glimpse of the Pliocene-to-Holocene giant ground sloth Megatherium.
Tumblr media
A better view of the Megatherium | "Tree Hugger" by Colin Smith (CC BY-SA 2.0)
Fossils of Megatherium americanum had been known since the late 1700s, but the 1854 Crystal Palace statue was still one of the first life reconstructions of this animal. Its anatomy is actually very close to our modern understanding, depicted with correctly inward-turned feet and sitting upright to feed on a tree with its tail acting as a "tripod".
However, we now know it didn't have a trunk-like nose, but instead probably had prehensile lips more like those of a modern black rhino.
Something weird also appears to have happened to the Crystal Palace Megatherium's hands. Early illustrations of the sculpture all consistently show it with the typical long claws of a sloth, but today it's missing its right hand and its left has only a strangely stumpy paw – suggesting that at some point in the intervening 170 years there was an unrecorded crude repair.
Tumblr media
———
Tumblr media
And finally we end the trail with three Megaloceros, the Pleistocene-to-Holocene "Irish Elk" that's actually neither exclusively Irish nor an elk.
Tumblr media
A closer look at the second stag and the doe.
There was originally a fourth giant deer sculpture in this herd, a second resting doe, but it was destroyed sometime during the mid-20th century. The stags also initially had real fossil antlers attached to their heads, but these were removed and replaced with less accurate versions at some point by the mid-20th century.
One of the stags' antlers suffered some damage in 2020, ending up drooping, and since then one antler has either fallen off or been removed.
In the 1850s Megaloceros giganteus was thought to be closely related to deer in the genus Cervus, and so the Crystal Palace reconstructions seem to be based on modern wapiti – specifically in their winter coats, fitting for ice age animals – since both the stags and the doe sport distinctive thick neck manes.
Tumblr media
The stags from the other side.
We now know Megaloceros was actually much more closely related to modern fallow deer, and so probably resembled them more than wapiti. Cave art also shows that it had a hump on its shoulders, and even gives us an idea of what its coloration was.
Tumblr media
———
…But wait!
There's actually one more thing.
A small statue sitting on the far side of the deer herd, missing its ears, and seemingly representing a Megaloceros fawn.
Except it's actually something very different and very special.
Tumblr media
Ceci n'est pas un cerf.
Some recent investigation work revealed some surprising information about the Crystal Palace mammal statues – much like the nearly-forgotten large Palaeotherium, there was originally an entire group of four small Eocene-aged llama-like Xiphodon gracilis that had disappeared from living memory.
There was also no historic record of a fawn with the giant deer, but instead a suspiciously similar-looking sitting sculpture is illustrated among what we now known are the four missing Xiphodon in early records.
Tumblr media
An 1853 illustration of the sculpture workshop. The four Xiphodon are shown in the center, directly in front of a Megaloceros stag and doe. (public domain)
Somewhere in the late 19th or early 20th century three of the Xiphodon must have been completely lost, and the remaining individual was misidentified as a fawn and placed with the giant deer herd.
Tumblr media
———
Rediscovering a whole extra species among the Crystal Palace statues is exciting, but it also demonstrates just how much of these sculptures' history has gone completely undocumented. 
The mammal statues especially seem to have suffered the most out of the "Dinosaur Court", being often overlooked, neglected, disrespected (at one point the Megatherium was inside a goat pen in a petting zoo!), and subjected to cruder repairs. A total of five original statues are now known to be missing from this Cenozoic section – the original large Palaeotherium, the three other Xiphodon, and the second Megaloceros doe – compared to the two pterosaurs lost from the Mesozoic island.
Hopefully the excellent recreation of the lost Palaeotherium magnum is the start of a long overdue new lease of life and conservation attention for all of the Crystal Palace sculptures. It was disappointing seeing them all in such an overgrown state, and with signs of ongoing disrepair in places such as the plant growing out of the big ichthyosaur's back.
But there has been some resurgence of interest and public attention in the Crystal Palace sculptures over the last few years, so with any luck these historic pieces of early paleoart will survive on to their 200th anniversary and beyond, to keep on reminding us of where things began and how far our understanding of prehistoric life has since come.

Robin: To come up with strategy in battle, we need to know what we're working with. Beast Boy, what animals can you turn into? Beast Boy: Et Al. Robin: Any limitations? Beast Boy: Not yet. Hell, I once turned into King Kong. Cyborg: Bullshit. Beast Boy: S'true. Wonder Girl: You can turn into movie monsters? Beast Boy: Yeah, takes some concentration, but yeah. Robin: Can you become a giant eagle? Beast Boy: Yup. Wonder Girl: Dinosaurs? Beast Boy: Both scientifically accurate and Jurassic Park style. Cyborg: Chewbacca? Beast Boy: No. I did once and Disney sent me a cease and desist.

Here’s a friend for Nox!
She’s sitting and being so polite, surely she won’t cause any extra trouble :]
#12 - Nox from Ghost Squad!
Nox's birthday is April 1st because that simply fits them. Why does it fit them, you ask? Well, let me see... They're outgoing, dramatic, very friendly, and simply cannot resist the alluring call of the prank war. Plus they're unaware of a few minor social concepts like 1) an inside voice 2) personal space 3) gender. They have a neon pink sidecut. You know how it is.
Ah, yes. And there's the story of how they got their name. CT-9732 was a shiny fresh from Kamino, deployed to the 217th, having made friends with half the other shinies and having thoroughly annoyed the rest. Their captain asked what their name was, because that's only polite, but our dear shiny had yet to have one! So they simply said that they wanted their name to be obnoxious. An already-very-tired captain said I think the closest we can manage is Nox, which they accepted because they thought it sounded cool.
Fortunately for Nox, they have latched onto an introvert that they now bring to all the best parties. Unfortunately for Tally, he is in fact very much of an introvert and would like them to cut that shit out for five minutes so he can catch his breath and maybe have a nap while he's at it. But they're off spraypainting a pinup girl on Captain Rex's locker so he's gotta go handle that.
(CC Harlow introducing his shinies: This is Tally. He likes his personal space. This is Nox. They also like Tally's personal space.)
(While we're at it with the parentheses, never let Nox drive. They can't steer for shit. Also they fall for girls really easily and like. Somehow they're even worse at driving when they're distracted by a lady laughing. Just about ran them headfirst into a streetlight one time.)

I know what we all need:
Jurassic Park limited series
Follows the book closely
Still accurate to the time period of the book, late 80’s, no modern technology
More horror than action family flick
Still as much practical effects as humanly possible
The new scientifically accurate dinosaur noises
No big Hollywood names in the cast, we find fresh talent, real looking people, no chatter teeth veneers, default button nose jobs, or plumped lips
Get the director from Godzilla (2014) to make it cinematically delicious and not just loud and messy
