Prehistoric Planet finally gives us the True Rival to the Tyrant Lizard King and it's NOT a Dinosaur.

Raptor Rush
Basically a tribute to velociraptor, deinonychus, and their legacy in pop culture!
From Dinobot of Transformers, to Dinorexmon of Digimon, to Pod and the Walking with Dinosaurs Utahraptor, and of course, Blue and the other raptors of Jurassic Park fame.

I drew one of my friend’s characters named Lilin! Lilin is a deinonychus :) if you’re familiar with WWD realism on Path of Titans, she’s from there!

So, no new Gargoyles content. Yet. Its all sat in my head until I can wrestle it out.
But head has instead been preoccupied with animating stuff. (If I hadn't mentioned yet, I only started to learn animation last year, so I am trying to get practice in wherever and however I can.) So, guess what I will be working towards next...
Yeah...
Animating some Gargoyles stuff.
You're all thrilled, I can tell :3

Prehistoric Planet season 2 just aired and taught me the abject terror being pursued by a flock of giraffe-sized azhdarchid pterosaurs would be. 
(Each large enough swallow a person whole.)

What do you think about the walking with dinosaur trex? As a kid I always thought the head looked really boxy, it looks very distinct from other trexes I’ve seen around.
Walking With Dinosaurs Tyrannosaurus is,,,, Bad
Tumblr media
I'm not sure what it is about WWD and large theropods but both the Tyrannosaurus and Allosaurus look really Weird, especially in the head. Allosaurus's horns got placed directly over its eyes, and the whole shape of the head is really triangular.
With the Tyrannosaurus, the head is just. a Block.
Tumblr media
Proportionally it's shorter and thicker than a real Tyrannosaurus skull, and while the shape of the lower jaw is actually pretty close the back of the skull is where issues really start to crop up.
They've ticked all the boxes in the abstract: big brow ridges, wide back of the skull, heavy lower jaw. But the execution of them really falls flat. Mark Witton's reconstruction from the recent theropod lips paper actually makes a very good comparison here since it's almost at the same angle:
Tumblr media
The body itself is oddly proportioned too, with very long legs, and shorter thinner tail, long arms, and a thin neck. Overlaying Scott Hartman's Tyrannosaurus skeletal over the top of it really brings out the Weirdness
Tumblr media
In some areas, like with all of WWD, the inaccuracies here are due to Science Marching On (the lack of lips and the shallower torso due to differently-reconstructed gastralia). But most of the problems with how the head is shaped were just at inaccurate in 1999 as they are now, and it's a little baffling to me how such a famous and well-studied dinosaur ended up looking so... Off?
On the other hand, the actual behaviour of the Tyrannosaurus is fantastically naturalistic, and the colour pattern is very appealing and absolutely iconic. It's just kind of a shame that it got combined with this odd, lumpy anatomy

Has anyone seen the Nigel Marvin's Walking with dinosaurs BBC series? I literally loved that show so much I got the sea monster book.
Anyway here's my favourite sea "monster" the Ironing Board Shark aka the Stethacanthus
When I was younger I generally thought it was real and he went back in time😭

how well do the Tim Haines documentaries (walking with dinosaurs, prehistoric beasts, etc) hold up today?
"additionally, is there anything that the Time Haines documentaries get wrong that we knew was wrong then but they just put in anyway for some reason?"
There is *so much* in the walking with series that is wrong, both at the time of making and today. In fact, this is practically a dissertation level analysis required.
The biggest things:
they did not feather their dinosaurs. they should have. yes, even in 1999.
their tyrannosaurus model is a joke
Utahraptor SHOULD NOT BE IN EUROPE tf
torosaurus? a rare ceratopsian? instead of triceratops? you're just being needlessly edgy
Unholy Mammal Bias Batman
Humans did not become bipedal because of grass. We spread across Africa because of grass, but we were bipedal before then
oh yeah, Grass evolved in the Cretaceous after all
The Maastrichtian wasn't a "dying world". there was a slight decrease in megafaunal diversity. This happens all the time, and dinosaurs had bounced back from such a dip before. This is also very North America centric - other continents had no such dips. Nonavian dinosaurs would not have gone extinct without the asteroid.
they skip the paleocene and are extremely lopsided in how they present the Cenozoic
Walking with monsters is somehow the best paleozoic documentary that currently exists and also represents the paleozoic TERRIBLY
