Some notes and sketches about the fictional behaviour of various dinosaur species made for the movie Dinosaur by Ricardo Delgado

Various dinosaurs designed by artist Ricardo Delgado for Disney’s DINOSAUR (2000, Dir. Ralph Zondag & Eric Leighton). Delgado is a prolific film and comic book artist who has worked on over 50 film and television projects but is perhaps best known by many as the creator of the two time Eisner Award winning dinosaur comic book series AGE OF REPTILES (1993 - Present).

Most of the art seen here was done between 1994 and 1996. One of the hallmarks of Delgado’s dinosaurs is how he bases their color schemes off of living animals that he feels occupy the same evolutionary niche that a particular dinosaur might have. Ergo you have a giraffe-like Amargasaurus, a Velociraptor with cheetah spots and zebra striped hadrosaurs. It’s also worth noting how palentologicaly progressive many of Delgado’s designs are. Take note of both the feathers on his Stygimoloch and the quills on his baby Stegosaurus.

I decided to make a Parasaurolophus drawing, my favorite silly dinosaur❤️❤️

Disney’s Dinosaur but the Carnotaurus has Doomguy’s voice from Project Brutality

——————————————————————————

The Doomtaurus decides to go on a hunt today.

The Doomguy voice files came from SGtMarkIV's expansion of Brutal Doom known as Project Brutality, voiced by Chinese Tony Danza/Zero X. Diamond.

I found these plastic dinosaur minies and decided to paint them to look like Lucky and Wuerhosaurus from paleo pines & and i will show you all the steps in case you want to do something like this yourself

This was my firs time painting minie figures and i tried using the same techniques people use for DnD figures so you can just look up those tutorials on youtube.

I found these ugly plastic dinosaurs on at a flee market for like 5 hryvnias and this is how they looked before their makeover:

First thing i did was wash them with soap and strip off all the spray paint from them using polish remover/acetone, untill they were this weird yellowish plastic color. (Idk if this step was necessary but i wanted to romoves all the dirt & dust so the paint sticks better)

Then i painted them fully with a dark color. I dont advise using pure black. I used a more dark-ish grey with a bit of blue so the undertone works better.

By the way here are these mfs near a match (for size comparison ofc).

Next i dry-brushed them with a cream color to bring out the texture and leave the dark color in the creases and shadows. I had to go over with a few coats so that they were not too dark.

Fore some reason they made these guys all wrinkly instead of scaly but it did help with the texture lol.

(The more i looked at them the more i saw how weird and inaccurate they are. Still cute though)

And the last steps were to cover them in colorfull washes:

The key is to go slowly, building up the colors layer by layer. I also added a bit of different hues in some places to make the colors less more alive (like a bit of pink on the plates, or some green in certain places idk it just gives more variety to the colors. with out it it the colors look a bit monotonous).

Also, seriously go play the game!!!! it`s just so cute. Dinosaur designs are cutified but still faithfull to how the animal looked according to science (minus the pastel colors lol) and you just know that it was made by true dinosaur lovers.

They do have a tumblr blog at @paleopinesofficial but i see their content more on tiktok
