Ya tengo nuevo perfil dedicado ÚNICAMENTE a cosas de dinos y arte en 3D...y ya de paso, fijamos publicación, porque me he decidido a dar un slato muy importante
New profile ONLY for dinos and 3D art...and by the way, I have decided to take an important step in my life
I recently found one of the books from my childhood again, and specifically, the one that made me fall in love with paleoart, so I'm going to show you some of the wonderful illustrations it contains.
A Supersaurus' walk through a flooded plain is interrupted by three Allosaurus. The theropods are passing through, an adult Supersaurus is a prey that carries too many risks, but for a moment, They look at each other briefly before everyone goes their respective ways
First look at supersaurus, a quick render to see what the texture looks like
There are things to fix and I see quite a few defects, but I think I'm on the right way
#Paleoart
I share with you the first dinosaur from my personal project about dinos from the Iberian Peninsula. And I'm going to start with a superstar of Iberian paleontology, Turiasaurus
I want to do it through three images per animal. First a general image
#paleoart
Parenting is complicated, especially when you are a sauropod and have a dozen children determined to ignore you, as is the case with this Turiasaurus family group
#paleoart
Here I bring you the visual presentation for the clades that I have prepared for my personal Iberian dinosaur project. And we start with the Turiasaurs
First, a general image of the genera with their phylogeny and sites
It's
#FossilFriday
, so I bring you the remains of Lirainosaurus, a small armored titanosaur from Spain with very good remains. And my own reconstruction in the form of a quick sketch made freehand and without references
I don't think we're socially ready to accept it or have a mature conversation about it, but I'm pretty convinced that sauropod babies were the kittens of the Mesozoic
#Paleoarte
Since the first days of its existence, humanity has asked itself some questions...who are we? where do we come from? is there a god? And...what did an adolescent sauropod look like?
And now, thanks to Andrew, we can begin to answer the last of these questions
#paleoart
I show you the first texture and color test for Demandasaurus
There are a lot of things to fix and correct, but the final look will be pretty similar to this
A small advance, what do people like the most? Yes, okay, health, fun, seeing dreams come true, money, a good job...but baby sauropods aren't bad either!
Here is a view of the model with a running pose. Europelta is, at the moment, the most complete nodosaur discovered in Europe, we know practically all of its bone anatomy
And his remains. For this visualization I have used the original material of the paper (which is open) and I have mixed it with my own contributions to try to bring it to my style and at the same time remain informative
I hope I got it!
And here is the corrected texture, irregularities, scales and wrinkles can be seen better, and I have also modified the color to have better contrast and not be so monochromatic
I show you the first texture and color test for Demandasaurus
There are a lot of things to fix and correct, but the final look will be pretty similar to this
This is exploding, so I take this opportunity to say that I also do paleoart. I'm not one of these monsters, but I do my own thing, so if you want something... DM
Voy a presentar por aquí un proyecto personal que estoy haciendo con mucho cariño, el de modelar, texturizar y visualizar todos los dinos de la península ibérica...las nuevas fichas están hechas con el ejemplo de Iguanodosn. Empezamos por la general
Surely the initial illustration is familiar to some of you... it is my way of trying to pay tribute to a master like Douglas Henderson, the original illustration is one of my favorites. I hope it turned out well!
And now, a little test to see how the texture I created for Turiasaurus works. Next phase, the colors!
Well, first you have to fix and adjust a thousand little things, but it's almost there
#paleoart
And these are just a few, in fact the entire book is full of ART, skeletal diagrams, maps...it is a wonderful piece of information with a very attractive format Does anyone else know him? for sure yes!
One of the most fun things about my idea of modeling Iberian dinos is the opportunity to make babies and juveniles, here I leave you some tests of lights and textures for demandasaurus
#paleoart
For Zby's images I wanted to do something visually different, that's why I used images that were so different from each other, although they are telling different parts of the same story
And well, this is Zby, the Portuguese turiasaurus
Well, I give you an official presentation of the new Turiasaurus model with color, texture and deformation tests.
Is a very large sauropod, between 20-25 meters and perhaps 30 tons. Thanks to him, in 2006 a new clade of Eusauropoda, Turiasauria, was defined
Yesterday the description of
#Qunkasaura
was published, a new Iberian dinosaur...and again a sauropod (we already have twenty!!), so of course, we have to reconstruct it!
Podré acabarlo? si, y lo sé porque ya lo hice, pero estoy actualizando fichas y modelos para hacer algo un poco diferente a esto, que está muy guay, pero hay que probar cosas. En fin, que es un proyecto personal con mucho cariño, a ver si puedo sacar algo de calidad
20 years ago there were about 60 Iberian lynxes left, it was the most endangered feline on the planet. Now there are more than two thousand and today it leaves the endangered status and becomes "vulnerable"
We live in a terrible world, but sometimes there is good news
Losillasaurus is the next protagonist of the series of Iberian dinos, another large sauropod of the turiasauria clade and the first sauropod with remains found in Spain and Portugal.
So I took the opportunity to make a model of what a young diplodocid would be like and I have adapted it a little to have a juvenile Supersaurus
I like my final version of the adult, he looks really MASSIVE
Andrew is a very young Diplodocus skull (or something very similar) from a site in Montana, which gives us good information to understand how these body positive champions grew
The second, one more related to topics of anatomy or curiosities, which will depend on the animal (and this should not be taken as something reliable, please, this is fundamentally something artistic based on my passion for these animals)
And the second image, in which I take the opportunity to talk a little about "Andrew", a very interesting skull of a juvenile of (possibly) diplodocus and its implications in the diet and development of young diplodocids
The body architecture of these guys is ridiculous and exciting at the same time...and quite difficult to convert into 3D without doing something horrible
A discovery that helped reclassify and understand the evolution and distribution of sauropods much better. And another curiosity, Turiasaurus is not only huge, there is also good material of it, so we have a pretty good idea of its appearance and proportions
I wish I had a reference as good as this when I prepared my version of Polacanthus. But hey, except for the tail, which is clearly bad, the rest is not so bad either.
Well, and there's the matter of the cheeks. Anyway, a lot of things to fix, but it's a lot of fun!

How I like to approach my ankylosaurs, getting back onto the Crown of dinosaurian biology, the polacanthines.....cropping pictures to get back into groove, figuring everything.
And now, the protagonists, one by one. Each of them has two plates, one general and another for curiosities and other information, and one or two reconstructions
We start with Turiasaurus
Okay, but who was Turiasaurus? Well, so far, it may be the largest sauropod in Europe. It may have measured up to 25 m, but it is also many more things. For example, with its description Turiasauria, a new clade of Eusauropoda, is inaugurated
A small advance, what do people like the most? Yes, okay, health, fun, seeing dreams come true, money, a good job...but baby sauropods aren't bad either!

There are still things to fix, like adding some wrinkles and smoothing out certain parts of the model, but overall I'm pretty happy, although lighting in Blender is obviously not my strong suit
I haven't prepared many textures for muscle, so it may not be the best possible version and I'm sure there are better ways to do it, but for now this is the one that best combines my blender knowledge with speed and an acceptable result
And that's all, thanks for coming this far! By the way, all the visual material of the animal is mine, this just in case. I would like to use skeletal diagrams, but I find it very complicated to make them...not to mention stealing other people's material!
And an info and curiosities section. Maybe I should try to make these visualizations in English, but I don't have any confidence in my level and I don't trust translators very much.
But if you are curious it can be translated
In this new version of my sauropods I'm trying to achieve full scale coverage, which is sometimes a little difficult when you also have so many wrinkles. A little challenging when creating your own textures
And as a second image, a bit of size comparison based on known fossils of the group, an image of how other taxa are distributed around the world and a timeline
It is something simple, and giving priority to the visual part, because this is essentially an artistic project
Thank you for reading and, of course, any constructive feedback will be well received, it is a personal project that I am very excited about, so anything that can improve it is good!

Si, tiene sus riesgos y he hecho grandes cagadas con él xD, pero en realidad ahora es una técnica que uso mucho, con un par de trucos solucionas un montón de problemas
