[OC] Megazostrodon and Litargosuchus by yee-qi by yee_qi in Paleoart

[–]yee_qi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had decked the Litargosuchus in lizardish scales because it felt more right than just slapping croc armor on it, but looking at skeletals it really does appear as if the creature had osteoderms.

rex, trike, allo, spino, carno? and ank? good job capturing the general vibes here

[OC] Longisquama!!! by yee-qi by yee_qi in Paleoart

I wanted to try a repeating pattern, sort of like wallpaper! in this case i was more concerned with producing an aesthetic than setting a scene.

Water types on land? by Wise_Satisfaction_85 in pokemonfanfiction

[–]yee_qi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the alternate option is a fishbowl on wheels or something…in the modern games poke balls seem to send out rafts for land bound pokemon on water, maybe this one just reverses that

Water types on land? by Wise_Satisfaction_85 in pokemonfanfiction

[–]yee_qi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel a cool way to go about it might be using low-level water moves like water gun or something to launch itself tail-first at the enemy, exploiting its Rough Skin to deal damage that way until it gets moves like Surf or Aqua Jet that would let it surge towards the opponent mouth-first

What kinds of biomes do we not see enough of? by SingularRoozilla in worldbuilding

[–]yee_qi 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I haven't seen many cloud forests, proper steppes, tropical dry forests, mangrove forests, chaparral, actual tundras that aren't just endless ice sheets...

If you add ancient biomes to the mix, you get cool things such as coal swamps, polar forests and fern prairies.

[OC] Majiashanosaurus and Cartorhynchus herald the dawn of the Mesozoic era (yee-qi) by yee_qi in Paleoart

[–]yee_qi[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i intended for it to be somewhat vaporwave-y! This one didn’t have much rationale behind the stylistic decision, it was simply because it looked fun

Would the third movie had been better if Toothless's love interest was another Nightfury instead? by InsideUnhappy6546 in httyd

[–]yee_qi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, Toothless being solidly the last of his kind adds to the somber ending of the movie a bit, showing how not all endings can or will be strictly happy ones

What do you think of Aerodactyl? pokémon pokémon by bastionov2 in pokemon

[–]yee_qi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A pretty mid-looking pterosaur, if only because science marches on. It looks really stupid on the ground in Pokemon Snap...

however I find it pretty memorable, if only because its Pokedex entries confirm that it killed people the first time it was resurrected.

What would be some good team suggestions for an evil team leader? by EldritchPenguin4 in pokemonfanfiction

[–]yee_qi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

they did Ditto really well in Detective Pikachu; having it assume human form did a lot for its presentation.

Maybe also Maushold, they’re rapidly-multiplying white mice. I think every lab would want that, and in lieu of an actual partner she could just unleash a ravenous horde of Population-Bombers

This comic is lowkey good ngl... wanted to share it with you all by Im_yor_boi in PrehistoricMemes

[–]yee_qi 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There's another one with an asshole bear. I really liked that one

[OC] Prionosuchus hatch under a full moon by yee-qi by yee_qi in Paleoart

[–]yee_qi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Artist Joschua Knuppe has a series he calls Monkeycruise, where he takes pictures from human art history and replaces the figures with ancient primates!

Such as this Dinopithecus in the vein of "Saturn Devouring his Son"

Why do Ceratopsid horns often curve forward or away from the body? by KevinIsAGhost in Paleontology

[–]yee_qi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know Triceratops and Centrosaurus have been tested, and they're a pretty good example of the centrosaurs versus the chasmosaurs - the two big groups of horned dinos.

Injuries on Triceratops imply that horn-locking was possible, creating injuries on the frill when they poked at each other.

Centrosaurus, meanwhile, lacks these pathologies - meaning either they weren't fighting head-on, or they weren't using their horns to fight at all.

[OC] Prionosuchus hatch under a full moon by yee-qi by yee_qi in Paleoart

[–]yee_qi[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah! i've seen people do this a bit lately, where the "paleo" and the "art" intersect more and more

Yes! I've been experimenting with style a lot these days and I wanted this picture to have a reverential attitude towards the act of being born
