The Animsaurus Collection

Drawn by an artist or not, you definitely had a hand in its creation, even if not a literal hand. The whole idea of starting your own line and brainstorming it, hiring someone capable to create it, and launching it into reality is really awesome. Goooo Takama!

Would you like to have a say on what comes out? Here is a poll i made, With pictures of the Dinosaurs to choose. Basically whatever you think looks cool, cute, or scary, you can vote for it.

Torvosaurus Progress

Nodosaurus

Yes that last one was a part of the poll, but i really wanted to do this Genus. Im sorry i wont be doing the Winning poll Model first.

Good choices. After all, a voting pool of 13 participants is not an accurate simple random sample. I am sure you will eventually get around to making the ones voted on... but regardless, congratulations.

Will you make a psittacosaurus based in that draw? That's cool!

I will base it on that Species, but I will not base it on the entire picture. That is frowned upon in the World of Paleoart. I want use the head type.

Also, i hope to have a secret model for each Wave. Wave ones Model is Under construction, and wave twos been selected. Only hints i will give is that the first one was named thanks to Jurassic Park, and the second one is named after a Rock star. (One of the Videos i posted in the music thread features him)

Ok i made some changes for the line.    Wave 2 dinosaurs will be swapped with wave three dinosaurs which are the following

Bullockornis planei

Lythronax argestes

Coahuilaceratops magnacuerna

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

All but one of those Dinosaurs were voted by Forum members(One of them is from STS, and another is my choice)

I must say those are magnificent choices!

Behold, our Secret model.
Tianchisaurus nedegoapeferima
The Dinosaur whose Species name was a Composite of most of the Actors last names from the Film Jurassic Park

Expect this, and the Erectopus to be for sale soon

With a name like that it is not hard to keep it as a secret! Glad of seeing your project growing!

BTW disregard the potential animals i listed. Im never sure what im going to do next. Though i will state that Voted Animals will be Done. The Third 1:32 model, The Torvosaurus, could be done in October or sooner (Im not saying it will Be, Its just an Estimate)

Ok The Erectopus and Tianchisaurus are now avalible at Dans Dinosaurs.

Brandon is currently working on the Torvosaurus and its torso is 50% complete. After that, he said he wanted to do His own models for his own line for a while before returning to do his servicies.

In the mean time, i contacted another artist who is willing to do Sculpt work for my line of Dinosaurs. He goes by the name Jetoer on the DTF, and he sculpted some articulated models as well as insects. I approched him with curosity to his Articulated Sculptures, and almost commissioned an articulated Dinosaur that was not a part of the Animasaurus line. But then i wondered if he be willing to sculpt for the Animasaurus Collection. He said he love to. So i came up with a list of animals i will have him do, and a list of animals that i will have Brandon do.

Right now nothing has been Commisioned yet, but I did propose an idea to Jetoer


This is a Leshansaurus, a reletive of Torvosaurus that lived in China

My idea is to have Jetoer sculpt a one of thes bad boys running with a Baby Herbovoure in his mouth, while the mother furiously chases him away to either keep him away from the nest he raided.

This is the herbovoire
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
A Gigantspinosaurus. This sTegosaur gets its name from the huge spikes on its shoulder. It was a small one at only 4 meters long.

I hope to have him make the LEshansaurus Run off with the baby In his mouth while the Mother is bellowing and Trotting after him.


What do you all think of this plan?

Congrats on getting two more models into production.

I think if your proposed model becomes reality and is nearly as good as your description it will be a miniature masterpiece. I admit I don't know much about feasibility on such endeavors, but it sounds cool.

Gosh, I had not even seen the Tianchisaurus nedegoapeferima
A lovely model

The little giant with the huge spikes is a fantastic looking creature, - and brave too, it seems, to chase the Leshansaurus !!!

I think your plans are great! You mean Jetoar?

Yes, i mean him. Is he a member here too?

Anyways I realize i made a lot of ideas, but im not sure what i will do next. all i know is that the Forum requested models will be started when Brandon is ready.

I been trying to think of what models i will have Jetoar work on. As with brandon, i pay him to bring a model to life, and he gets an ex amount of the profits. though he said he cannot Cast models as of now, so what we do is have the prototype being sent to Brandon where i pay him to create a mold for casting to our customers.

Im also debating if i should save the Leshansaurus for Brandon, as it is a Megalosaur, and Brandon is working on a Torvosaurus, so maybe i should have him make that family of Dinosaurs, while Jetoar will work on Stegosaurs. Plus I like to make companion pieces come out away from eachother.


Here is my Plans for Jetoar as of now.

Udanoceratops

Abelisaurus
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

And the Gigantspinosaurus. I will have him do more, but im not sure what else to have him do

Jetoar is not a member here as far as I know. I use to read some of his topics on ATF though. :) I think you should use your initiative to think in opening a small toy company of dino toy figures, :)

Well My attempt to avoid Dubious Species has FAILED

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Tianchisaurus is a Nomen Dubium Now. So its remains are very sparse and the animal probably never exsisted.

Im at a lost for words

Oh that is frustrating I'm sure.

I suppose you could remarket it, make it part of a special sub-line called The Sub Dubiums? Make it a limited edition run?

You're doing great, there's bound to be some hiccups along the way. The timing of the update is unfortunate, but there's nothing to say we won't find a dino that looks like it later on. Paleontology has still more skeletons to unearth!

And when all is said and done it's still a cool model.

Well, Theirs no telling what can happen in Paleontology. some animals that we thought we know well get there remains attributed to other animals. Take Diplodocus longus for Example. for years, most of the bones of this Species of Diplodocus were thought to have been part of it, and it was regareded as the TYPE Species of the Genus, but recently they were determined to belong to another species (D Hallorum, which we will make in the future) So all that's left of D longus is not enough to say if it really warrants a new species. So now theres a poll running to get a more well knonw species (D Carnegie) to enlisted as the new type specimen

I bow to your superior knowledge of paleontology. :). I'll have to check out that poll

Ok I finalized what i will be commisioning Jetoar to do

First is this
