Good work!
I loved dinosaurs when I was a kid, so I checked on some old cards I have, and I figured out their names (wikipedia helped me for the second part of the name)
The solution is:
I. Stiracosaurus albertensis
II. Carnotaurus sastrei
III. Tirannosaurus rex
IV. Velociraptor mongoliensis
V. Allosaurus fragilis
But you should check the position of the "i" of the Velociraptor
Absolutely correct, not bad at all!
Hehe, that's actually quite fitting. Two of the most interesting and biggest theropods, spinosaurus aegyptiacus and carcharadontosaurus saharicus lived in areas that are now within the borders of arabic speaking countries.
Ahh, feather development; a very interesting topic indeed. Makes me want to pixel dinosaurs from the maniraptora clade! I bet that was one terrific essay.
It's awesome that you are into dinosaurs, there are not that many people who like to dig deeper.. no pun intended. ;)
Tyrannosaurus rex and Velociraptor mongoliensis?
I did a small essay on the early stages of flight and feather development in therapods for my Arabic language class, lol. I know, super random but we just had to write about anything that interested us and I knew no one would write about anything close to that. Not that I really know anything I'm talking about, I'm just fascinated with dinosaurs.
Haha, great, cheers!
Two are pretty good actually. Which two can you name?
This may now be my favorite piece of yours -- although I feel kind of stupid for not getting all of these immediately. At least I can name two of them
Thanks a ton, man! It's great to see that somebody actually knows the full scientific name!
this is ABSOLUTELY DINO-TASTIC! carnotaurus sastrei is my favourite dino! cooool stuff
Thanks a ton, mate!
I used the brightest colour mostly for keeping a clean and easy base to proper AA the rough outlines, but contrast was second to that.
If you have any questions regarding mesozoic or palaeozoic life, fire away! :)
Did you chose to use only three colors for the head itself because of better contrast to the background or because GB sprites use the fourth as transparent?
Either way, great piece with loads of details. Ever since you "outed" yourself as a dino-nerd, I've been waiting to see something dino related from you <3
(eventhrough I'm a totall dino-noob )
Haha, thanks a lot, mate! It's always a joy reading your comments. :)
Mandrill strikes again!
Excellent pixelling as always man!
@ Finlal
Yeah, those are the worst folks. Glad I don't know people like that.
Now some dinofreak will come and tear those sculls to pieces.
I saw it happened to the poor 16 Bit T-rex.
Haha! Well done, man. You are the first to solve all the names, congrats.
Whoops, thanks for letting me know.
