Dinosaur Photo Reference?

[lips]

Does anyone have a good resource for many pics of different dinos and their colors - either online or books? Thanks.

Do you mean dinosaur toys or the handful of dinosaurs whose actual colors are known? On the assumption that you mean toys, some of the more useful sites are toyanimal.info, which has a lot of painstakingly cataloged figures but some significant omissions, and Dinosaur Collector, which often has broken links and is replete with typos, but covers a lot of ground. There's also a book-on-CD-ROM by Joe Demarco, but I haven't looked at it so I don't know how good it is. I know some people here have found it very useful.

Sorry, I meant real dinosaurs. To either customize toys or to draw from. Thanks.

Oh! Ha ha, in that case--Dixon's Encyclopedia has good illustrations of a ton of different animals, but take some of the text with a grain of salt!

Thanks! I'm not too much into the words anyways. haha

Luis V. Rey is known for unusual, yet comprehensible dinosaur illustrations. Thomas Holtz´ book http://www.amazon.de/Dinosaurs-Complete-Up---Date-Encyclopedia/dp/0375824197/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1452332105&sr=8-1&keywords=thomas+holtz thus is a good source.

No problem! Most of the Yowie pictures are mine--if you want to contribute you can photograph the ones I sold you!
