You sound like the perfect person to ask: is there a bipedal dinosaur out there, where, if it were contemporaneous with humans, be just about the right size for riding (no larger than the biggest warhorse) and unlikely to turn around and nom the rider's arm off when it got peckish? I'm looking to draw dinos as a mount in a fantasy series, and I haven't found that bipedal-herbivore-reasonable-size dino to inspire me yet.
Originally shared by Curt Thompson This is an interesting theory, but I notice the author has to omit one of the most important Heinlein novels to make it work. Time Enough For Love was written in the very early 70s and was a straight (heh) extrapolation of the chaotic and frenetic zeitgeist of that era. http://www.locusmag.com/Perspectives/2012/11/the-joke-is-on-us-the-two-careers-of-robert-a-heinlein/

Originally shared by Andrew “Incomitatum” Chason Hit Me with your Horror I am looking for some horror flicks. The newer the better. Good is good too. I liked House of 1000 Corpses and Devil's Rejects . I liked both the new Texas Chainsaw movies. Hills Have Eyes 1 was good (never saw the second . Jeepers Creepers 1 & 2 come to mind as well. A little camp, and/or "back woods" can't hurt. Any of you have any recommendations? Lets try and not go too far back than mid 90's. Aside: How was the new "Freddy" movie? Suggested So Far • Bones (2001) • Drag Me to Hell (2009) • The Grudge (2004) • Don't Be Afraid of the Dark (2010) • Dog Soldiers (2002) • The Decent (2005) • Creature (2011) • The Last Winter (2006)
I'm still waiting to play this bad boy!!!

ReplyDeleteAn ostrich Dino like gallimimus would be about perfect. Go nuts with the feathers.
ReplyDeletePrehistoric kangaroo might make for an interesting mount, too. (Remember, the old ones were large, brawny, and walked instead of hopping)

And for a more tank-like mount, prehistoric wombats were HUGE and solid.
