I especially like the tail; I hate seeing dinos with droopy tails (especially sauropods!) because its so incorrect.
Well done with it all, I can't fault it.
You should be very proud.
I,m glad that this pleases you! Anatomical accuracy is my goal.
As a dinosaur nut, nothing irritates me more than needless inaccuracy, you said it perfectly. In my first week of school we were going through what we wanted to be when we grew up, I proudly said '
Through this I can see you making a Parasauralophus in the future
Is Parasaurolophus you favorite dinosaur?
Paras sure are, have been ever since I was small. Then I grew older and learnt more about them (And the rest of the Hadrosaurs) and grew even more attached. Do you have a favourite dinosaur?
And yes, I am one one of those people who is 23 years old, but yet when she is in a Natural History Museum still giggles with joy when she is surrounded by dino fossils
Aha, ok! Well, when I was a little kid T-rex have been my favorite (duh) Also Deinonychus have been close to my heart (long before the Jurassic Park "raptors")
Nowadays I don,t have any specific favorite... They all are very cool creatures. But I think in generally I like those furry dinobirds found in china, like Sinosauropteryx
Hehe...I know what you mean. In october me and my co-workers made a trip into a Berlin Humboldt museum of natural history. I was like a little kid again, when I was standing infront of mounted brachiosaurus and allosaurus skeletons. Oh boy, that was the day!
I think 'Jurassic Park' heightened by dinosaur love to be honest, especially with Stan Winstons amazing animatronic work. Who can resist the Therapods, even though I usually claim to love most Hadrosaurs, I always get excited about those giant carnivores! I love the look of the feathery/furry dinosaurs, it gives them even more character, don't you think? XD
The same situation but me within the American Natural History Museum in New York, I ran upto a Triceratops skeleton completely giddy
So what makes you to love Hadrosaurs? Of course they are a very numerous group of advanced herbivores with exotic crests and other visual diplays. BTW, did you know that in 1930´s scientists found an mummified Corythosaurus fossils with skin impressions and soft tissue? This gives an advance to reconstruct Corythosaurus with high level of accuracy.
Hehe.. I would love take a trip into a American Natural History Museum. I think they still have this Cretaceous Liaoning-exhibition with those furry dinobirds and dinosaur eating protomammals...
I think my love for Parasauralophus came from a cartoon in my childhood (Can't remember the name of it) which involved a character that was just that species, I thought the idea of the body stance and head crest was pretty awesome, from then on, I adored most of the Hardosaurus that I researched into. I also think there is just so much that can be visualised from them, as you've said in the above. Memo to myself to draw more dinosaurs....
I think I might've caught something on the grapevine about the skin impressions, but it was a more recent account that featured actual skin that'd had been fossilised? Fascinating finds indeed. They tried to scan the skin imprints as not to damage them, but the chunk of bones was too big to actually scan through. Did you hear about a group of scientists who reconstructed the crest of the Parasauralophus so they could actually hear what it sounded like? It was amazing when they gave a test drive of the sound, so Prehistoric!
I don't think I saw that exhibition, although it is an absolutely HUGE place. Wish I could've spent a whole day in there, but I only had a couple of hours to get around everything. Gives me a reason to revisit New York though, and to check out the Central Park Zoo again
