What Dinosauria pieces do you want Sideshow to make?

You'd have to pack a Marshall statue with a pair of anti-slice gloves. Or band-aids. Lots of band-aids.

And a first aid bag, and styptic pencils, and cauterizing tools, and a nurse with a slight build to pat one on the shoulder every few minutes and say, "Everything is going to be just fine."

 

[dansdinosaurs]

Just the nurse would be fine by me.

OMG!!! I had a tape of this and watched it ALLLLLL the time when I was a kid. I thought it was so amazing!

OMG ME TOO!!! AHHH! *memories flood brain*

Thanks so much for sharing this with me again...I probably haven't seen this in 10+ years.

Thought I'd give this thread some love and put another plug for a Ceratosaurus. In the meantime, here's some fantastic work from one of my favorite paleoartists, Kazunari Araki who sculpted a lot of Kaiyodo's dino kits. The ones here seem to be independent works:

Yeah, I don't think those were ever for sale..at least not that I have ever seen, but the guy's work is really amazing... he and Shinzen are two of the dino sculptors out of Japan.

I think Araki's sauropods might be his most famous works. How do we recommend our favorite paleoartists to Sideshow? I've got a list of like, twenty or so, even if they just oversee the paint job.

On a related topic, Todd Marshall does some excellent paleoart. His Dimetrodon is a personal favorite depiction of mine for this Pelycosaur.

He's also rendered a number of animals we've been discussing. His Spinosaurs are also my favorite artistic renditions of the animals. If SS does S.aegypticus, they would do well to have a look at Todd's work.

And a Sarosuchus that I also enjoy immensely, coupled with an unfortunate Nigersaurus.

The man is a marvel with bringing the animals to life through his work. I sincerely hope SS branches out to all manner of prehistoric fauna and not just dinosaurs, even though dinosaurs alone would provide them with a glut of material.

Awsome art, but are they realistic? Is there evidence to show that Spino and Dimtrodon were really that spiked? I've never seen any depictions quite as high on the "spiky meter" as these.

The ornery style is distinctive of Marshall's personal choices as an artist. Some animals, like Diplodocus, may indeed have rows of neural spines lining the back. Many dinosaurs in fact did have spiny protrusions, but it is not known whether they were naked or carried some sort of fleshy sail-like structure. But the short answer is no, we can't say for certain that these animals looked like this when they were living. That is true of any given reconstruction, though. No matter how close you get, you'll never know for certain.

Looking at this pics - the art looks fantasy like very cartoonish, nothing realistic. I don't think Sideshow would consider these.

I don't think so...it's not cg work if that's what you mean...you def need to see more fine art.

LoL. You have besmirched the name of Marshall. Prepare to die.

 

[Darth Snoopy]

The only Dinosauria piece I want Sideshow to make is the Stegosaurus!

My favorite as a kid!

Here's hoping they give him a proper throat pouch, too.

I'm glad someone else was also actually prepared to take up arms to defend Todd Marshall's honor. :maul

 

[dansdinosaurs]

Oh, heck yeah. His orney old Spinosaurus is the coolest ever.

 

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

Marshall's work is really beautiful..anyone who can paint like that deserves the title artist.

I'm certain a Stego will made at some point in some fashion...

 

[bearmodel]

I think a Pterosaurs would be a great addition to the Dinosauria line as well as a Spinosaurus. Stve Riojas has a site and you can see his amazing work and have an idea what might be coming in the future...
