Spinosaurus new look!

[Ultimatedinoking]

And these too.

The main pics seems to be homo vs. Panthera.

The tiny one is a freaky chicken man.

The tiny one is also a human. Basically drawing dinosaurs shrink-wrapped is like drawing tigers and humans like that.

EDIT: Also, we should probably move this discussion somewhere else.

Agreed, but to where?

4 % Spinosaurus

96% rolls.

Are you trying to say we should just discard the evidence because you don't care for the way it looks? That's silly.

Don't worry, you'll get used to the new look eventually.

[Trisdino]

Yes, me missing that in the corner was stupid, so let me try again:

what is this?



And this?

Just create a new thread.

Yeah, I'm actually working on a shrink-wrapped mosasaur to show how not to show draw prehistoric animals.

I hope so, these arguments are pointless and irritating.

Do I really have to change the URLS for you not just to check?

Anyway, discussion moved.

[Patrx]

Well! Now I'm glad I've not yet bought any Spinosaurus figures, they'd be outdated now

I didn't check.

I think it's cool to own toys or models that show outdated ideas. I'd like to organise them so I can show a progression in understanding. Looking at the old Carnegie Spinosaurus, then the newer one, and now this new interpretation, it is very interesting to see how things can change.

I'm still going to get the Sideshow Spinosaurus even though it's outdated now

Weird, ugly, nasty, brutish - I LIKE IT.

So Spinosaurus is now believed to have a dip in the middle of its sail? I can't make out much from the photo, but its body looks quite low slung compared to how I've normally seen it depicted. 

And also, does that mean that new Spino specimens have been found?

The dip is new to me, but the ultra-short legs are not.  Rumors about new Spinosaur specimens being found and/or in private hands have popped up over the past 10 years or so.  Supposedly there is an 8-foot skull out there somewhere. 

This is encouraging because it now looks like we may have (finally) a complete beastie - I mean you wouldn't just put that dip in the sail in there without a reason.

A wallowing animal hunting fish wouldn't need ultra-long legs, the Croc-like double chin makes sense to me physiologically as well.  The sail is even more grotesque than previously imagined, am really interested in hearing new theories as to its purpose.  Display obviously, but if the animal spent a lot of time partly immersed in water then a use for keeping the animal warm is also possible (aka sun catcher)

This critter just got more bizarre....

I agree! If I had more space and money I think it'd be cool to set up some displays like that.

Just when we thought it couldn't get any weirder huh .

[Balaur]

It's like Deinocheirus all over again, except not that weird.

I don't think any dinosaur is that weird . Deinocheirus has officially been crowned the "weirdest dinosaur ever".

Also, here's another good picture of it:

Not on board with that one, far too speculative and mammalian for my tastes.

[Patrx]

Agreed. I'm all for speculative designs but it really does look like a mammal in that drawing.
