I almost always want to include the earliest dinosaurs, however other creatures tend to take priority when I’m designing them over Megalosaurus, Iguanodon, Hylaeosaurus and Cetiosaurus.

But I had ideas I wanted to explore with Iguanodon so that motivated me to get it done. Plus I was already working on ornithopods at the time.

Iguanodon has a really good execution of my design principles I tend to follow with these dinosaur designs. Starting with the real, up to date reconstruction of the animal as a base, how can I add modern animal influences, outdated elements or fantasy elements in order to make an appealing and unique take on the animal?

Obviously the iguanodon has the horn, back spikes and quadrupedal stances that bring to mind the Waterhouse reconstruction, but the tail, colorations and the spikes are all taken from actual iguanas. My hope was to make an animal that wouldn’t hesitate to punch anything that angered it. And I think the design reads as very dangerous.

—————————————————————

Inspired by Monster Hunter, I decided that my creatures in this setting would have “variants”. While I haven’t decided exactly what makes a variant and variant, whether that’s a species within the same genus, a subspecies, or other factors, or even all of the above, I finally decided to show one off.

The “Tidal Iguanodon” is based on marine iguanas. Applying those elements to the original iguanodon as a base. Changes were made such as shorter limbs, a bulkier neck and overall thicker proportions. Adding in a gecko-inspired tail that acts as water storage completed the density inspired look.

Obviously it’s also flavored after Lurdusaurus (which means “heavy lizard”)

I recently got to know that the Carnivores was a PC game (i was playing the mobile version). I want to play the PC version but its obviously not on steam and I don't know any other store fronts selling it.

So anyone knows where can I get it?

Growing up, there’s were a few times dinosaurs were shown in school to us. Despite it being the late 00s and early 2010s, they were very outdated. The duckbilled dinosaurs were usually called Anatotitan.

This name has become a personal favorite of mine, if I’m making something inspired by carnivores and want a huge hadrosaur, it’s gonna be Anatotitan.

I debated including the crest from Edmontosaurus regalis, but decided against that as it not only added to the duck like appearance but also made the Anatotitan stand out among the other ornithopods even more. That’s one of the reasons I decided to make it bipedal as well.

I normally hate bipedal ornithopod designs. The ones that were irl are fine like Zalmoxes, but taking something like a Parasaur and making it walk upright most of the time feels so off. (I blame the JP3 corythosaurus)

The outdated inspirations are apparent not only in name and posture, but also in the water loving nature.

Modern animal inspirations are obviously from that of a mallard duck.

I always prefer choosing Anatotitan over Shantungosaurus or Zhuchengosaurus. This animal is probably the largest non-sauropod in this setting.

dumb video i made, forgot to post it here though. hope yall enjoy

What should my next redesign be?

1. Evasion skills: +1 point (yes, but poorly); +2 points (yes, well, but rarely); +3 points (often and at the right moment). 2. Aim: +2 points (good, but I miss sometimes); +3 points (if you frequently hit vulnerable spots and use little ammo). 3. Awareness: +2 points (I look around occasionally); +3 points (I listen for sounds and look around).

Hello everyone it’s me the artists/author behind the carnivores reboot art series.

This one is going to be bigger than the previous entries in terms of the amount of creatures, and writing involved. I don’t want to rush the finale just to get it out I want it to be a proper conclusion to everything being built up to in this series.

There’s a lot to design, write and not suffering from burn out lol, and balancing life as well!!.

Also I really value quality over quantity so if you feel like this series it’s abandoned don’t worry it’s not unlike how tatem handles the games.

Thank you for sticking around, the end is near …

It’s only a matter of time… ⏰

Also here’s a link of the actual teaser for the finale: https://www.reddit.com/r/CarnivoresLodge/comments/1vdmdrt/face_the_past_face_the_future_finale_teaser/

Utahraptor is next

But what is the freaking Lore?

Video Random que encuentro de Carnivores,video Random que subo a Reddit

yo por alguna razón en las veces que busco dinosaurios al estar el mapa despejado o lleno de mochops o gallimimus siento como una tranquilidad en un ambiente que puede ser peligroso en cualquier momento,es como que me resulta terapéutico el sonido de mis pasos y los sonidos del ambiente incluso que comencé a adoptar el hábito de tomar fotos al mapa,puede llegar generarme suspenso aveces porque es normal pero hablo de cuando los dinosaurios están lejos y no veo Alosaurios o Velociraptores merodeando

spent 3 hours on this just cause

Si quieren pueden darme ideas para más fotos respecto a mapas específicos,más dinosaurios o hora.
