Feathers

Hello here are my pets

What do you think, is it a good change or would you rather not have them there?

Hold on, we can go even further down the family tree…

Fuck it, feathered choanoflagellate

Is there any evidence of non-theropods having feathers?

I think that the Dromaeosaurid from Primeval (probably a Deinonychus based on the size, location, and head shape) is actually a good design and has really interesting color patterns.

However, it doesn't have enough feathers so here's my redesign. it's completely feathered except for its hands, shout, and half of its legs.

I turned its head quills into a crest, similar to a Roadrunner or an Ornate Hawk-Eagle.

My redesign is similar to a piece concept art by Daren Horley, which showed an unused velociraptor-like design with feathers. This design was probably going to be used in Primeval, but was replaced by the larger, sparsely-feathered raptor design in the actual series.

Feathered Dinosaur Pack... PART 2! Featuring...

• Velociraptor Mongoliensis

• Dakotaraptor

• Archaeopteryx

• Ornithomimus

• Kulindadromeus

• Psittacosaurus

All of these dinosaurs have actual evidence of feathers (or feather-like structures in the case of Psittacosaurus and Kulindadromeus). Velociraptor and Dakotaraptor have quill knobs. Archaeopteryx, Kulindadromeus, and Psittacosaurus have soft-tissue impressions. Ornithomimus has both.

It could also maybe come with skins for already existing animals. if it did, I would want there to be skins for...

• Deinonychus

• Troodon/Pectinodon

• Pteranodon

• Proceratosaurus

• Dryosaurus

• Australovenator

No skins for Gallimimus, Struthiomimus, Archeornithomimus, Albertosaurus, Compsognathus, or any of the already feathered dinosaurs because the other dinosaurs would already fill in their roles. I could see an argument for some of the other pterosaurs to get skins with pycnofibers, but this dinosaur pack would already be larger than average so yeah.

It's hard to see if you use Dinopedia's Dark Mode, but it's supposed to have some tiny head feathers. I'm also not sure if I prefer it with or without a tail fan, so I made 2 versions. One with the tail fan and one without it.

No tail fan

What do you think? I know that the primary feathers should attach to the second finger instead of the third finger, but it was hard to make it look natural in Google Drawings.

If they could be a certain color it could help them camouflage (kind of I guess).

Or it could have some other purpose.

List what you think below.

It’s been a while! Sorry, I’ve been busy and keep forgetting to continue this series lol.

You know the rules. Read these pages and decide: is it outdated, accurate, or just dead wrong? Explain down below.

So we all know how Jurassic park reinvented the general public's perception of dinosaurs, with dinosaurs that were more accurate for the time. Jurassic Park is now outdated, and the general public still thinks of dinosaurs as their outdated depictions from Jurassic Park because there hasn't been a big-budget non-documentary movie with the new depictions of dinosaurs, apart from Jurassic World: Dominion, which still has several heavily inaccurate dinosaurs, even with the feathered Pyroraptor, Moros, Therizinosaurus, and Oviraptor. I kinda wanted to make a mostly accurate dinosaur film, but that's not going come out for multiple years, if at all.

This one is interesting, with feathers being the topic. Comment below: is it accurate, outdated, or just plain wrong?

Yeah, it's not as feathery as the real animal was, but remember, this was 1988, and back then, most dinosaur reconstructions at the time were featherless.

Oh, and some of the fictional dinosaur species in "The new Dinosaurs"(1988), also written by Dougal Dixon, had feathers as well.

These were made by the CrAIyon artificial inelegance (previously known as Dall-E)
