One Google search is all they needed... still managed to screw it up, that bad.
Were they even trying with this? The ceratopsians look like mutated cows, hadrosaurs look like kangaroos... word cannot describe this madness.
I swear if some people are making money from this...

Nanuqsaurus

What the hell is going on here? :o They all have sceptical human faces, Edmontosaurus has front legs that bend the other way and Sinosauropteryx is a bipedal monkey?! Just... what...?!

It's definitely for real! They have other sections too.

Most of them have mammalian faces! Seeing this makes me think I can make a coloring book and sell it haha.

Silvanusaurus

These look like they were drawn by a blind person, basing their only conception of dinosaurs' appearance on the mumbled descriptions provided by a 6 year old child looking at examples of pictures drawn by his school-friends while they were on a trip to a cheap amateur creationist museum.

I thought I was going to be ok, that there was still hope left, until I got to the Edmontosaurus. By the time I finally got to the Sinosauropteryx, it was too late, sanity had begun to slip from my grasp. Nothing will ever be the same.

Edmontosaurus looks like it has 4 hindlimbs, Ampelosaurus has no neck, Lambeosaurus is a kangaroo... Funny thing is that there some not so well known species, so if they can search for those obscure species on wherever they looked for the names, why couldn't they made the drawings at least vaguely resembling a dinosaur. Even the youngest children will see those and be like  :o

I wasn't sure if that could be possible. I thought it was mere hyperbole. But no: you were right.

???
How is that a Scolosaurus? Is that its mouth?


>:(
have they never seen a dinosaur before I mean what this is supposed to be an alioramus how


:o


Thylacosmilus

Now I know where some toy companies go to get inspiration for their dinosaur models.   XD

I think the idea of providing a great variety of dinosaur pictures children can colour in is a great idea.  Unfortunately, almost all of these are so bad I find it difficult to put it into words.  Others in this thread have expressed it well though.  Almost all of these are so bad they're useless.  It looks like these designs aren't unintended, as I can see a number of these look like they were based on existing representations, mostly from Wikipedia, as shown by examples below. :-\


Acrocanthosaurus


Afrovenator.  This is one of the better ones out of the dinosaur colouring pictures.


Alamosaurus


Anchiceratops


Avimimus


Baryonyx.  It doesn't look like this one was based on a Wikipedia image.



Top row: Gastonia colouring picture, Gigantspinosaurus Wikipedia image
Bottom row: Gigantspinosaurus colouring picture, Gastonia Wikipedia image
It looks like their names got swapped around on the colouring pictures website.


Giraffatitan.  It looks like they thought since it has a giraffe-like name, it should have a giraffe-like head, it doesn't matter if the head shape is known.


Minmi


Nomingia


Pelecanimimus

I've been thinking about getting a dinosaur tattoo, I'm glad that I have some ideas now.

Ha ha, I hope we'll see that soon in the "photos of us" thread.

Lots of these remind me of CollectA's first couple of years. Their Alioramus and Eustreptospondylus would fit right in here.
In the kingdom of the blind, better take public transit. Well, in the kingdom of the sighted, too, really--almost everyone is a terrible driver.

10/10, would color. This artist should be charging money for these masterpieces.

My favorite is the Edmontosaurus. I can't get over how it has extra joints in its forelimbs.

If this person had an account on DTF and was posting them here, would you be saying these things? And for all you know, it could be a child that coloured these in. Meh, it just seems kind of mean spirited and unnecessary.

Please don't take it in a way that makes it seem like I'm doing it to be mean!  :o

It's just clear that they don't really care about their dinosaurs. On their home page they go on and on about how amazing their pages are at helping children learn and develop colouring and there's....a five paragraph section on how to use a pencil.....and a clear message that boys "don't care" about colouring as much as gils...but the dinosaurs are just....bad. Un-educational, if you will.  :-\

"UltraColoring.com is at the forefront among these, offering an ensemble of interesting, attractive and unique pictures that children absolutely love."

Dilopho

Basically, what I'm saying is that the drawing skill doesn't matter. It's the fact that they don't care to look at what things....should look like. Here's some more examples from their other sections:


These are both supposed to be YOSHI. Yes, this guy:

These are being advertised as if they actually expect people to use them, I think given the context where they are intending to appear like a professional site while just throwing these together based on the first results from Google images is completely deserving of any and all ridicule. Not to mention blatant stealing.
