You Know Who Posted September 18, 2014 Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 I occasionally contribute paleontology-related articles to HubPages. Most (though not all) of all these are about dinosaurs, since I know more about them than any other living or extinct group of organisms. My goal with these is to present dinosaurs and other aspects of paleontology in a manner that is interesting and accessible to laypeople (especially adult readers), but doesn't oversimplify or dumb things down. Any guideline I do my best to follow is to write articles that have no equivalent on Wikipedia (e.g. one all about T. rex or the woolly mammoth). All my articles (or Hubs) can be found at http://chrshonore.hubpages.com/. Feedback and even suggestions for future articles would be most welcome.

Rjoyadet Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 I would like to see a "Top 5 myths of palentology." I do not mean things like young earth Creationism or anything that could cause a flame war. I mean things like "the direct descendant of the T-Rex is the chicken. When in reality that claim is as valid as "man came from monkeys". In both cases the more valid case is they shared a common ancestor.

Rjoyadet Posted November 30, 2014 Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 I will have to remember this guy, since his name is much more easier than our local dinosaur artist Michael Sckrepnick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rjoyadet Posted September 25, 2016 Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 (edited) Could you identify this dinosaur for me? This is from Volume 17 chapter 6 of Oh My Goddess! By Kosuke Fujishima. I thought it was a mosasaur but it is way too small. Edited September 25, 2016 by Rjoyadet Frickin auto correct Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted September 25, 2016 Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 It might be a Pliosaurus, but I think you're right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rjoyadet Posted September 25, 2016 Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 It does look like a pliosaurus. Considering Belldandy is a goddess, it would totally be within her power to either shrink it or make herself giant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
You Know Who Posted December 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2016 (edited) Dinosaurs of the Year: 2015 EditionIn 2013 and 2014, I wrote an article about the new dinosaurs described (i.e. named and written about scientific literature for the first time) those years.

By Kosuke Fujishima. I thought it was a mosasaur but it is way too small. That's definitely a mosasaur. Not sure the artist was aiming for a particular kind, but it's around the size of Halisaurus or Clidastes (both of which were around 10 feet long).

Rjoyadet Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017  weird ancient invertebrates and turtlesI was going to joke if the palentologists found Gamera, but then I read that one of them is named Alienochelys or Alien Turtle.    Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
You Know Who Posted May 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2017 (edited) My latest article. It's an interview with Peter Dodson, a paleontologist and expert in horned dinosaurs in particular.Might change the first half of the title later. The best alternative I could think of was "Horns and Halos", but that doesn't work because he doesn't mention angels and only two questions are about religion.

Thank you! Bookwise, definitely seek out Dinosaur Art volumes 1 and 2 from Titan Books, and if you like his work, definitely search for The Paleoart of Julius Csotonyi. Your miles may vary, but definitely look at the websites of artists Raúl Martin, Alain Beneteau, Davide Bonadonna, Bob Walters, and Roman Garcia-Mora. There are lots of others I could name, including artists who specialize in drawing other prehistoric animals like pterosaurs and saber-toothed cats. If you live near Philadelphia, Dr Jason Poole sometimes teaches one-off or seasonal drawing classes devoted to dinosaurs which are definitely worth your time. Check out his adult coloring book too.

You Know Who Posted December 31, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2017 Do you have a website with your artwork? I’m finishing up a book I’ve been working on for two years and am going to need to look for an illustrator soon (originally I was gonna do it myself but it’s a big project and I don’t want to get burned out on it when I’ve gotten this far).

Rjoyadet Posted December 31, 2017 Report Share Posted December 31, 2017 I do not think I can express in words how flattered I am so let me try to put in in gifs.   But the truth is I haven't drawn dinosaurs in a while. I am currently drawing backgrounds for my friends superhero story. How about this? you give me an assignment I will work on it during the week. At the end of the week you can decide whether or not you like it without worries of payment, commissions or credits, or even hurting my feelings if you say "no."
