Art inspired by figures

[Rain]

Just wondering if anyone else noticed this:

The signature is hard to read. Who painted this? It's kind of like the Triceratops of Luis V. Ray. I like the scavenging idea, deer do that too!

Did I miss something? Since when were Triceratops omnivores? I feel dumb now

That Tyrannosaur artwork is cool!  The one leaned over to the right of the pic reminds me a little of another classic art image from an older "fossil" hand-held book I used to have.  The publisher escapes me mind at the moment.

It's not proven or anything. It's just speculation based on the idea that extant herbivores today will, on rare occasions, consume small amounts of meat to get protein.

I haven't heard it mentioned in depth in some time, but I do recall there being more to it than that. I can't speak for this particular painting but I believe the idea of omnivorous ceratopsians was based on stronger evidence for omnivory in pachycephalosaurs and that a strong bill is a pretty multipurpose structure well suited to many diets.

Wow... poor children...

From the Creation Museum. Note how the answer just says "the earth is thousands of years old so it can't be millions of years old"
Thats like saying " its a triangle therefore illuminati"

What does creationism have to do with the topic?

The omnivorous Triceratops painting is from Cheung Chung Tat.

I think it was in addition to the side topic of sad excuses for education, which had already died off so I agree it felt rather spontaneous and out of place.

Nope! And if you think about it they would be well suited to omnivory.

Ok guys, honest question, which of these came first...?

the positions and body shapes are slightly different, but they share the same color scheme, and are the same species.

[CityRaptor]

Pretty sure the art is from a book predating that model. I think even from the 2000s...

[DinoLord]

The art is definitely from the 2000s; I remember seeing that piece and others from the same artist on various dinosaur websites and google image searches as a kid 8 or so years ago.

so its a case of figure inspiring art then?

Not at all, allow me to refer you to Mark Witton: http://markwitton-com.blogspot.dk/2015/02/controversial-ceratopsids-revisited.html

No need to apologise!

I found this while looking for pumpkin carving ideas:

[EarthboundEiniosaurus]

Gonna reveal myself as a noob here and ask if there's a thread for dinosaur themed pumpkin carvings or other halloween decorations. Like i said, i'm kind of new to the forum, so if a thread already exists, could somebody please direct me to it.

Thanks,

EarthboundEiniosaurus
