Aw shit, thanks anon! I'm not paying for any online portfolio atm, but this was pretty good to know. I shared the post both here and on my personal blog

The voices and the bird were late stage additions as a last minute decision by 20th Century Fox because they thought without the voices and poo jokes kids wouldn't be interested. The original goal behind it was to make a feature length sequel episode to the original series seeing how far they could push it if the focused on one individual in one species the whole time, with the amazing new advances in CGI technology.

Fun fact: all the pachyrhinosaurs that aren't named or seemingly reoccuring characters were procedualy generated and are all unique. The studio working on the technology really pushed themselves and the available tech to make something truly extraordinary. It is such a shame some richass ceos killed it with the voice decision

Wow, without all the annoying dialogue, Walking with Dinosaurs is actually a pretty damn good dinosaur movie.

(they even got the Tyrannosaur sounds right)

Hi! Do you have any visual references of a perching raptor's legs underneath all those feathers? Trying to figure out how they bend when they sit.

Sorry this took so long lol

If it helps, they don't really sit, they're still very much standing when they perch

I made a little Cephalaspis diorama, the big one was sculpted by Elena Egorova and printed by Relics of Gaia along with the base, the small one is a bootleg of the Cephalaspis model from the Paleozoic Creatures set by Colorata

Below I present the individual parts in more detail

Horses are really fragile animals. Is it still a death sentence for a centaur if one of their equine limbs gets hurt? Or can they help it somehow?

Oh god, now I'm thinking of amputees and how those would work

Horses are SUPER fragile, or maybe more like delicately balanced.. but particularly their crazy spindle-legs which centaurs get to deal with! But a big part of why hurt legs are a death sentence for horses has less to do with "It kills them" and more to do with quality of life, which a centaur can get around! A horse with a broken leg doesn't understand it can't put ANY weight on that leg for an extended period and will attempt to go about their daily life and act normally, which basically guarantees re-injuring the bad leg and a high chance of injuring the other 3 legs as they try to cope with the change in balance and weight distribution. It all leads to a really poor quality of life with almost no chance of truly healing properly. The story of all they did trying to save Barbaro the racehorse is a long sad story that illustrates a lot of the issues even with modern veterinary medicine with trying to deal with a broken leg in horses.

Thankfully with centaurs, They understand the need for healing, are able to manage their own quality of life and have the gear to support themselves in the time it takes for the injury to heal!

Also perfectly good for long term use in the case of aging, amputation, or general disability! Which is common with the front legs and lower backs of centaurs given the unusual stresses caused by their body-plans. They were created with thicker and more robust front legs to cope with the permanent added weight of the torso instead of a horse head, but injury and disability in that area is still very common!

Injuries to the hind are less common and usually less severe, and given the hind legs bear less direct weight than the front they can usually get away with wraps and limping until it gets back to weight-bearing. Something like a rear amputation or ruptured tendon would probably require a custom harness/brace attached to a wheel like these and/or basically a peg leg!
