Marvel's Champions - Girls' Night
Here's a fairly hefty piece I did featuring the girls of Marvel's Champions: Lunella Lafayette (Moon Girl), Fernanda Rodriguez ([Red] Locust), Nadia van Dyne (the Unstoppable Wasp), Amka Aliyak (Snowguard), Riri Williams (Ironheart), Viv Vision, and Kamala Khan (Ms. Marvel). Oh, and Sparky the dog and Devil Dinosaur are there. I wanted to do something cozy and used the opportunity to practice some perspective suchlike.

Paleovember 2023, Tarbosaurus!
Famous for being the sister species to Tyrannosaurus rex, Tarbosaurus bataar is often easily written off as being the Mongolian T-rex. The reality is that Tarbosaurus was quite different; besides being slightly smaller, it was also slimmer, with a narrower back portion of the skull, meaning it's vision was less directly binocular. This is due to the animals it hunted being different from those found in North America; whereas Tyrannosaurus went after hadrosaurs and ceratopsians, Tarbosaurus went after hadrosaurs and SAUROPODS, the latter apparently not needing as much binocular vision.

Jurassic Park 30th Anniversary - A Celebration of Change in Science
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
So, I’ve made a series of drawings celebrating Jurassic Park’s 30th anniversary, specifically highlighting how much science has changed vs. when the original movie came out, and how much it affected the dinos of the franchise’s history.
First is the raptors, with a JP raptor here with Utahraptor and its namesake, Velociraptor.
Second is Spinosaurus, because JP3 has it’s 22nd anniversary this year, and the dude has changed repeatedly.
And finally, Tyrannosaurus rex itself. The modern T.rex is every bit as mighty and formidable as its fictional counterpart, and in some aspects (vision, overall build etc.) even more so. It’s only just much slower.

Tyrannosaurus
Tumblr media
Tyrannosaurus is a large North American theropod, and the last known tyrannosaurid living before the end-Cretaceous extinction event. One of the largest land carnivores of all time, Tyrannosaurus grew to about 12 m long, weighing up to 9 t. The massive skull bones were fused and pneumatized, allowing for an extremely powerful bite. The tip of the snout was U-shaped, which increased the amount of tissue a tyrannosaur could bite off its prey. The skull of Tyrannosaurus was wide at the rear but had a narrow snout, allowing unusually good binocular vision. It was likely both an active predator and a scavenger, but the specifics of its feeding behavior and lifestyle are still debated.

Animal Conversions- Tyrannosaurus
Tumblr media
(Art by Mark Witton)
(The t. rex is statted out as a bite-and-swallower, which is a very humanoid-centric way to view a hunter of huge game. Ive built it as a pugilist, targeting and attacking other big monsters, and given it high constitution of its bulk and endurance. I also included juveniles- ontogenetic niche shifting is something Pathfinder, with its Young Templates and mathematically scaling dragons, is kinda alien to- except for full-on metamorphosis, of course.)
Tyrannosaurus are the most famous of dinosaurs, great predators who go toe-to-toe with other behemoths to get their daily bread; their power and combative excellence makes them as beloved as they are feared. Tyrannosaurs change their behavior and shape as they grow, occupying different niches (and different threats) as juveniles, compared to as adults.
Adult t. rex are rarely a threat to medium-sized creatures such as humanoids; such people are simply too small to be worth the effort of chasing down and eating. Giants, however, are threatened by these great hunters, and caravans using large animals such as elephants are also prime targets for tyrannosaurus attack. Tyrannosaurus are notoriously adept trackers and persistence predators; there are many tales of one slowly following a caravan, waiting for the people and animals to exhaust themselves and stop to rest so it can pick them off at its leisure. Additionally, a brooding adult will often perceive humanoids as threats to their eggs and young and kill them if spotted; however, a brooding adult often means the presence of juveniles…
Juvenile tyrannosaurus are fast agile hunters, notorious for chasing down and killing humanoids and livestock alike. In lands where tyrannosaurus roam, great walls are built to keep juveniles out, and the fittest young adults are often trained to hunt them. 
The typical bounty for a slain juvenile tyrannsaurus is 1,500gp, although it varies based on severity of the issue and resources of the populace. 
The skull of an adult tyrannosaurus is a status symbol for the wealthy and danger-loving; intact and undamaged, it is worth 4,000gp.

whats your favorite dinosaur, a common misconception, and a correction for that misconception?
for my favorite i wanna say utahraptor but if i’m being honest it’s tyrannosaurus rex, the objective coolest animal to ever exist
a common misconception regarding t. rex specifically is that their vision was based on movement. this is only the case in jurassic park. in fact, t. rex had gigantic, baseball-sized eyeballs that pointed straight forward, giving it some of the best, if not the best, binocular vision out of any predator ever

How the FUCK do you draw DRAGON FACES AND EYES
I can get the body and head down ya know? but its the damn FACE that fucks me up when drawing faces
So if its not to much of a burden, could you please give some tips on how to draw dragon faces?
oh boy i am the Wrong person to ask lmfao - when drawing dragon faces 90% of the time im confused and fucking it up 20 times before getting it right and the other 10% is just "wait how the fuck did i do that? nice! anyway"
i've been drawing dragons for so long that the drawing process is almost entirely subconscious! and i'm not entirely sure what you mean by Faces instead of heads! but i can still attempt to offer Some advice - specific references, that kinda thing
uh i think one thing that's good to keep in mind is that dragons (typically - dragons are a Wide range of shapes and sizes so this is technically subjective) have Binocular Vision. forward facing eyes! just like us, predator animals, birds of prey. personally i like to mainly study dinosaur skulls when working on how i draw dragons, especially raptors and tyrannosaurs. i think dinosaurs are a Really good reference since they're pretty much the closest thing we have to real life dragons. so the eyes are generally higher than the snout or level with the top of it. tldr: understanding that they have forward facing eyes helps shape and Place the eyes correctly.
i'm not sure if i can help with the Shape of eyes? i tend to draw eyes mostly the same no matter what i scribble. but Another thing i'd recommend using as a reference - specifically for the snout and how it bunches / how the muscles move - is look at pictures of wolves snarling / facially expressing. they are a Great base point.
with the eyebrows/eyeridges uh. i suppose they tend to be rectangular! or Oblong! just flexible little logs placed over the eyes. they tend to be level with where the top of the head is. again i will recommend looking up photos of Tyrannosaurus Rex Facing Forward, they have some great ridges
but yeah just! look around! play around with facial structure and what feels/looks right To You! look up those expression sheets/memes and use 'em for practice, they're great for that! and as i will always say - Dragons Dont Look Just One Way! Fuck Around And Find Out What's Dragon To You!
oh, and also look at anthro art. there's a lot of really good anthro art that can help show you how to place/move facial features on an animal with forward-facing eyes and much room for expression <3

So let's get started. (I'll try to describe it in the "DND" style, so there won't be a complete description of the character's story and life here.)
Arius Silver (HR and MD period)
Tumblr media
Silver's height is 6'7" ft/198 cm. and weight 100 kg. His height before mechanical augs was 180 cm/5'11" ft, and his weight was 80 kg.
an example to compare height with Tyrants and Jensen. The only one who is only a few cm taller than Silver is Elena Fedorova, Barrett's weight also exceeds Silver's (120 kg).
Tumblr media
Arius is from the word "Aria". It means courage and determination as well as nobility. Silver is silver, which is hinted at by his pale skin and gray hair.
Silver's character may seem stubborn and tough because of his persistence, as well as because of his sharpness. In the first meeting with Jensen, Arius attacks him. Silver is cruel only to those who are cruel to himself, although sometimes he can be cruel for the sake of survival.
Augmentation:
Silver has augmented arms, legs, chest and jaws.
Tumblr media
Legs "Gallimimus"
The "Gallimimus" legs have an anatomy like that of Gallimimus, which is why it has such a name. (For a better definition, you can look at the legs of an ostrich). The anatomy of the legs allows Silver to develop a high running speed and to jump far and high. The legs have a strong structure and Silver can kick his opponent.
Hands "Wolverine"
Silver's arms are as strong as his legs. His claws are sharp as notches, which can almost tear the flesh of an opponent. His claws can also cling to an enemy and keep him close to Silver. Augmentation got the name "Wolverine" because of the additional melee weapon — four sharp blades.
to compare the length of the claws with Jensen's blade.
Tumblr media
Jaws "Predator"
In the most extreme cases, Silver's jaws act as an attack. Due to the sharp fangs, Silver is able to bite through the opponent's skin. The lower jaw is double to strengthen the grip. The structure of the jaw is similar to the jaw of a Predator (from movie "Predator").
Tumblr media
Silver's eyes are also augmented (my vision in augmented too, JC). The eyes are red to scare away opponents a little.
"Rhino Stomp"
Silver Stomps his foot, creating a field of vibration and a wave around himself, which knocks back enemies who are in the radius of the ability. The ability also slightly stuns the opponent. Silver uses this ability extremely rarely, as it requires a lot of energy.
Tumblr media
"Tyrannosaurus Roar"
This ability stuns the opponent more than the "Rhino Stomp" if this ability stuns for only a few seconds, then the "Tyrannosaurus Roar" has a long-lasting effect, such as dizziness, as well as blurred vision. (depending on how far the opponent is in the radius.)
"Wolverine Claws"
as mentioned above, Silver has four sharp blades. They are razor sharp and capable of cutting off entire limbs, not just organic ones. (depending on how strong the augmentation the opponent has.)
Weaknesses:
— Silver's energy can be knocked down by electric shock. Electricity incapacitates him, stunning him for a certain time and obscuring the vision.
— Silver's energy also runs out quickly, especially when he uses most augmentations at the same time. When his energy is completely at zero, he can still fight, but in this case most of his augmentations (Rhino Stomp, Tyrannosaurus Roar) will stop functioning.
— Despite his strong physique, Silver's torso is the weakest point. That's why he wears a sturdy bulletproof vest that protects him from injury.
!Old and first Сoncept!
Silver used to have two different augmentations on his hands as well as a few more augmentations.
"Dragon's Breath"
Tumblr media
The left hand possessed a flamethrower that set fire to the opponent. (This was removed due to overloading of the main augmentations.)
Tumblr media
"Pulse explosion"
An ability that enslaved enemies, electrocuted them, and stunned them. (This was removed and replaced with "Rhino Stomp" and the concept of stun was redesigned as the "Tyrannosaurus Roar". The ability has also been redesigned and slightly weakened also due to overload.)
Tumblr media
I hope I haven't forgotten anything and tried to tell you everything I came up with about Silver.

Re-Imagined take on the Indoraptor
Tumblr media
my indoraptor is a hybrid of Dakotaraptor(50%) Maip(30%) Pegomastax(20%) Deinosuchus(10%) Tyrannosaurus(15%) and Spinosaurus(10%) (i can let you all guess which part of these animals you can see on the design!)
My Indoraptor is the same size as the original one and it is not shrink-wrapped, it has a slightly larger head and it is build more like a tyrannosaur and has excellent binocular vision like the t rex, it also has heterodonty thanks to T rex and pegomastax genes, longer and powerful arms thanks to spinosaurus and Maip and since Maip is a megeraptoran my indoraptor just like the original can pronate its wrists, it is a powerful runner running on all fours at 50 miles per hour to chase down its prey!
heres a better skull anatomy than the OG skull which had no fucking brain casing
Tumblr media
thats all i have if im being honest! I was originally making some kind of fun little scenario for the hybrid but im too lazy and im out of ideas due to writting Daikaijuverse! anyways you can leave your thoughts on my take of the indoraptor down here that would be appreciated!
ngl i can just turn this thing into an entirely spec evo dinosaur but oh well-

Cover for Justice League vs Godzilla vs Kong #3 by Jonboy Meyers.
Superman vs Godzilla! The cover invokes all the mythic appeal of such a showdown. Man or God/Man battling a dragon. Doomsday in Batman v Superman(2016) was a dragon(the heat vision and heat breath) that could only be defeated using a weapon that only the hero(Superman) could wield justly.
Superman did face off against giant monster in one of his earliest cinematic adventures in the Fleischer Studios short The Arctic Giant(1942). The short has Superman taking on a Tyrannosaurus Rex but it looks and behaves like Godzilla. It has dorsal spines, larger than actual T. Rex, rampages the city, and seems impervious to conventual weaponry.
The short predates Godzilla(1954) by 12 years.

Extinction Curse Session 2024/08/21 (Part 2)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Finally, the adventurers marched to the end of Pier Road to find...the Willowside Pier.
Midori offered to scout ahead, finding two tyrannosaurus rexes off to the east, complete with xulgath riders, and a smaller xulgath standing in a field covered with a fog of stench.
"This time, they'll understand," Midori said to herself. She turned to the party and used the simplest of tactical hand signals to relay what she saw. They signaled back with the simplest of tactical hand signals, including some very rude ones, to indicate that they could not understand her.
The incredible kitsune scout sighed with resignation, returned to the party, and told them in hushed whispers what she had seen.
"Midori!" Zookdar spoke to her in a normal tone of voice, "You're making too much noise! They'll hear us!"
Surely enough, the enemies took notice of our heroes. The large dinosaurs strode toward their position.
Zookdar released a mighty battle cry to demoralize one of the T-rexes, making it take pause. Lysander panicked and covered the party in an invisibility sphere. The other T-rex entered the sphere, looking for the invisible adventurers it was sure it had just seen. While it sniffed around, the small xulgath approached along with its sphere of stench, which sickened the entire party and caused acid damage.
Frozen in his tracks, Zookdar advised quietly, "Stay where you are. Their vision is based on movement." The dinosaur turned its head to face the gnome.
Lysander corrected him, "No, that hypothesis has been thoroughly debunked! Good thing we're invisible, though. They have excellent vision, excellent hearing, and a good sense of smell." The T-rex began to sniff more deeply.
"Oh, gods," Zookdar shot back, "they're going to go for Midori first."
"Hey!" Midori protested. The T-rex quickly twitched its head to face the kitsune ringmaster. "Shit! I'd better―" She struck with her rapier, hitting with a decent thrust, breaking the invisibility sphere's effect on her. Having been ordered to hold its attack until the first hero became visible, the tyrannosaurus bit at Midori, attempting to catch and swallow her. Fortunately, she was able to dodge at the last second and make a tactical retreat.
To slow down the enemies, The Redeemer cast a spell, causing a large area of the field surrounding the dinosaurs to sprout razor-sharp slivers of metal. The tyrannosaurus that snapped at Midori ran at her again, cutting up its legs on the razors.
After a few exchanges between the party and their foes, Midori spied an opportunity. She pointed at a spot in the middle of the xulgaths and dinosaurs, shouting, "Orbison! KILL!" Her star orb shot forth a cloud of toxic gas.
Meanwhile, The Redeemer placed traps between the T-rexes and the party. He advised the heroes, "Run away from this spot!"
Surely enough, one of the dinosaurs ran through a trap, setting it off. Lysander stepped in to rip its spirit, finishing it off. A blow from Zookdar's flickmace bloodied its rider, and the persistent radiant damage finished him off.
The small, smelly xulgath took a swing at Zookdar in revenge but missed.
Midori sang:
🎶🎶🎶
T-rex, T-rex
Runnin' through the field
Smack him with a rock
An' make him squeal!
🎶🎶🎶
She launched a telekinetic projectile at the remaining dinosaur, killing it.
With the dinosaurs dead, the adventurers focused on the xulgaths. A well-aimed shot from Lysander's hex blaster gun bloodied the smelly xulgath, causing its bile sac to rupture. Fortunately, nobody was harmed in the explosion. Finally, Midori snuck up to the dino rider and finished him off with her rapier.
The battle over, Lysander and Midori took a few minutes to heal up the party. As Midori was applying a bandage to Zookdar, the gnome pointed to the horizon. "There's the ship! The Geode's Center! She's arriving ahead of schedule and COMING IN HOT!"
The team turned to look. The ship had heavy damage and was under attack by two sea serpents. On the ship's prow stood a gnome woman, casting spells at the beasts.
The Redeemer shouted, "To arms!"
Midori yelled, "Save the ship at all costs! They're carryin' a load of booze an' snacks!"
Both serpents struck at the ship, while The Redeemer rode his raptor to the shoreline. He called upon his magics, permanently blinding them with a Sunburst spell. Midori ordered her star stone. "Orbison, reload! Kill them!" The sea serpents coughed and thrashed about in the resulting cloud of poison. Zookdar ran down the pier to get closer to the action.
Blinded and unable to breathe above water, the serpents literally turned tail and fled! "Huh, that was easy," Midori remarked.
The Geode's Center docked at the pier safely. Lysander and Zookdar boarded to speak to the crew and passengers. Zookdar attempted to recruit people to join the Circus of Wayward Wonders, while Lysander played music to accompany him. As it turned out, Javi, the gnome woman, was a river druid with a good idea for a circus act, and she agreed to join.
The heroes then departed for their next destination: the dinosaur corrals.

What is Joshi’s backstory?
That's gonna be a tricky one. Where should I begin? Her backstory consists of Yoshi's Island, Super Paper Mario, and a sprinkle of Super Mario World show lore, hint hint.
Joshi was asexually created by Grambi himself, she WAS originally going to be human. He accidentally splashed a whole vial of kitsune DNA into the zygote, some fool gave him the wrong vial. Something was off about that child, he created a potential monster, there was NO turning back. He improvised a plan and advised the stork to take the child to her other biological parent instead, (notably her kitsune mother or father). The stork flew off during the middle of the night, hours have passed, a tall looming figure was stealthily hidden from the bird's vision, the evil dinosaur (purple Tyrannosaurus Rex) snatched the bird out of the blue and mauled it to death, leading the newborn kit to fall into the forest floor. The bird has failed its mission, miserably...
An hour has passed, a yoshi couple heard wailing out of the brush. They slowly approached the rustling of leaves and revealed a newborn baby out of the white cloth. They gazed at it, she was beautiful, she was partially fuzzy, she had a tail soft as silk, her large lustrous golden eyes dilated as the couple cooed at the child. They didn't care if their child was different, she was perfect. She lived a decently good life as a village girl, always causing mischief, doing basic things like gardening and cooking with her parents, she had it all. Years have went by, she was in her teens, but she didn't grow much. Her father has passed away, shortly her mother died of a fungal disease commonly found in reptiles, back in the 1000s they barely had any medicine AT ALL, there couldn've been NO way to save her.
After the passing her mother, war broke out between the yoshies and the magikoopas, there was nothing but pandemonium. The unfortunate teenager was appalled from the horrid scene; her village was completely burnt into a wasteland, nothing but debris. She was alone... she left Yoshi's Island, for salvation. Overtime she began to discover who she was bit by bit. Days have turned into weeks, weeks have turned into months, months have turned into years, and years turned into centuries... it left her baffled about her supernatural abilities and immortal lifespan. People she loved along the way have deceased before her very eyes.
She became the monster she swore to avenge...
Welp, here ya go! I hope my writing is okay. :D

"Oh, fun fact, that's entirely false! Tyrannosaurus had incredibly keen vision, and it almost certainly wasn't reliant on movement--it wouldn't be a very good predator if that was the case!"

I still marvel at just how well-adapted Tyrannosaurus rex was to being an apex predator (and how wilfully blind the "T-rex could only scavenge folks are).
-Not just the giant, literally bone-crushing jaws, but:
-Extremely keen senses of sight, hearing, and smell, including binocular vision.
-Relatively high intelligence, anywhere from crocodilian (which is still quite smart) to primate or cetacean, depending on who you ask.
-Possible pack hunter.
-Fucking PADS ON ITS FEET so this elephant-sized beast could sneak up quietly on prey.
-Oh, and while the fully grown ones were giant bone crushers, the juveniles were light and fast, so they could hunt different prey, avoid competing with each other, and basically corner all the large land predator niches (the younger ones, its speculated, might also have used their speed to chase prey toward ambushes by the heavier adults, if they pack-hunted).
There is literally no other large land predator known from the same times and places as T-rex, but its skeletons are everywhere.
Vertebrates did not create a more perfect predator until humans.
