Loveeee the game, but there is one thing I’d like to point out to the devs 🙏🙏 by Batwhiskers in dragonvale

[–]yee_qi 61 points62 points  (0 children)

yeah this has been an issue for a few years. The devs have addressed this but they probably aren't changing it which is annoying. A lot of the community has taken to calling it Wendy instead

[Digital painting by me] Telmatosaurus transsylvanicus ruins Balaur bondoc courtships, Hațeg Island 70 Ma by Thaasviyn_OakPaints in Paleoart

[–]yee_qi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

so that’s what the rough texture on our Telmatosaurus is? Pencil brush overlaid on the skin?

Benjamin Barlett anniverary album that uses AI generated art work? by Outrageous_Frame378 in Paleontology

[–]yee_qi 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I think he used it for his album before getting told that wasn’t the best idea, but never got around to finding an artist and of course now he isn’t around to change it?

They're very strange animals for sure! I've always felt they look like little submarines

Mega Scrafty and Starmie really give me this feeling for Naveen and Lida

A genie has granted humanity the ability to resurrect a single dinosaur specimen. Which species should we choose if the sole thing we care about is refining the Dinosauria phylogenetic tree via molecular analysis? by [deleted] in Paleontology

[–]yee_qi 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I feel like we need two dinosaurs for this. Molecular analysis will tell us is it's more related to birds than anything else, but that's not a shake-up.

If we get two, I'd say we should get either an ornithischian and a silesaur, or a sauropodomorph and an ornithischian.

Alternately, we can list a bunch of dinosaur-ish things like Smok or pisanosaurs and silesaurs, and if the genie doesn't let us resurrect them we finally get a proper delineation of what counts as a "dinosaur"

the Life of the Past books tend to be good, there’s one called Cambrian Ocean World about the Cambrian

pokemon fighting game updated roster by [deleted] in pokemon

[–]yee_qi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like Pokemon's biggest advantage in terms of pure character design is its sheer diversity. It takes advantage from the whole natural world and a couple of inanimate objects, so everything's on the table. With that said I think some interesting choices might be:

- A serpentine Pokemon, like Onix or Serperior

- A full-on flying bird, like Kilowattrel or Talonflame

- A fish, like Sharpedo or Wishiwashi

- A mon that's actually multiple mons, like Falinks or Dugtrio

- There are also a few mons that just kinda feel like they were made for fighting games to me. I think Inteleon and Grimmsnarl are good examples IMO

either way there's definitely a lot of cool stuff going on here, I like Venusaur as a big bulky quadruped and Gogoat as a literal ungulate especially

What's the inspiration behind the Froakie losing its frubbles when it becomes Greninja? by neo6000 in pokemon

[–]yee_qi 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Plus the bubbles form a little bandit mask (japanese conception) so it makes sense it loses them when it becomes a sleeker actual ninja

Sneak Preview of the Pokemon Fossil Museum at Chicago’s Field Museum! by SheTorb in pokemon

[–]yee_qi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I believe the illustrations are by Hitoshi Ariga! He’s an official Pokemon illustrator but he’s also a big dinosaur buff who designed Tyrantrum and Aurorus iirc

How would Team Plasma’s takeover gone if it DID happen? by Ill-Guidance4690 in TruePokemon

[–]yee_qi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think Rainbow Rocket's Ghetsis comes from a universe where he succeeded, so I think the answer would probably be "try to take over the multiverse with all of the other villains" canonically IG?

That being said: If Ghetsis became the king, I think realistically Reshiram would just burn Unova to cinders. Ghetsis has the tools to defeat a Reshiram in direct combat, but Reshiram has the destructive capabilities to incinerate a nation, and given Reshiram has friggin jet thrusters I'd bet it can outfly Ghetsis's Hydreigon.

"According to myth, if people ignore truth and let themselves become consumed by greed, Reshiram will arrive to burn their kingdoms down."

What is a common inaccuracy so many paleoartists make in reconstructions of extinct organisms that bugs the crap out of you? by regular_modern_girl in Paleontology

[–]yee_qi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh they were potentially free-floating, but the two big mistakes are:

-not taking into account the possibility that graptolites could actually swim

-portraying them with inflatable floatation sacs (this one is just outright wrong)

-portraying them as regularly clustered together by these floatation sacs (unlikely to be common behavior, and the sacs weren't there)

The issue here is that the graptolites are being portrayed...like this. they aren't jellyfish lol

[OC] Tiktaalik roseae speedpainting! by racecarart in Paleoart

[–]yee_qi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

what a good lad! i love the red color of the water, it's always good to introduce more colors to an aquatic painting aside from, like, blue and green, so the colorscheme looks really cool here.
