Constrain the design by strict fake rules and you get Monster Hunter.

I still picture dinosaurs as the old designs in my head, purely by choice. I fully accept they are inaccurate, and will always say "yes, dinosaurs had feathers" if asked, but... like... I mean... how am I supposed to take Gigantochicken seriously? If I'd be sent to the past and end up being chased by one of the Woody Woodpecker lookin' ones, I'd die laughing my ass off.

I'd be laughing my ass off seeing you getting chased by an ostrich

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

or an ostrich sized goose.

How about being run down by a house-sized emu?

You and me both! Got pecked pretty hard in the forehead by one at a petting zoo when I was about 12, my only reaction was to start laughing.

Edit: no offence to either Gigantochicken, Woody Woodpecker's great-great-great-great-grandma, or ostriches, love all of those doofuses!❤️

Concussions will do that to ya /j

[–] latenightnoir@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Hey, maybe! But if laughing at ostriches was caused by a concussion, then I don't wanna be... uuh... right?

The bottom image is lacking 500% more spikes for it to be accurate to fantasy dinosaur design

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

There should be 1000% more Primal Rage vibes.

Dinosaurs with feathers are a lot scarier than lizard skinned ones.

Imagine a T-rex seeing you and letting off a roar while puffing out its feathers.

[–] Geobloke@lemm.ee 2 points 6 days ago

Imagine a bird without feathers as big as a car land, then start charging you down galloping after you on its finger wings

Oh my, the dinosaur with the face of a bearded vulture <3
