the Cephelogalionus is able to change color like a real squid.

Yeah, but does it have a sort of “default” coloration? Like how a tree-dwelling chameleon is usually green, a giant squid is red, a loligo squid is opalescent white, etc.?

I tried putting it on DA. but the upload would always time out. I'll try it again tonight though.

Ah. Well, it's not a huge deal if you can't upload it. I was just interested to see a full-sized version if one happened to be readily available.

Brachiogalionus is warmblooded because if it was cold blooded it would need to stay out in the sun to stay warm. and its so big. so finding shade would be difficult for it. the plates on its back are just there for mating an intimadation. not for heating and cooling down its body.

At its size, though, it wouldn’t need to worry much about staying warm; its greatest threat would be overheating. Cold-blooded or warm-blooded, its muscles would generate heat just from being moved around, and once the entire animal was warmed up, it would take a LONG time for its body temperature to drop. (Leatherback sea turtles are technically cold-blooded, but because they’re very large, are almost constantly active, and have a layer of fat that retains heat, they can swim in waters as far north as the Arctic Circle.)

I did a sketch of Profounigalionus too. btw most of the names these Galionus have are both based after dinosaurs And because of their look and or their features. Unigalionus for instance was named because it is the first galionus. (Uni - Uno, Spanish meaning ONE) . Profounigalionus was givin its name due to its unique mouth design (Profouni meaning Foul Mouthed). Megagalionus at the time was created Before Brachiogalionus. and was thought to be the largest land predator until Brachiogalionus was discovered. Megagalionus litteraly means the Mega Beast. Brachiogalionus was named after Brachiosaurus (or Brontosaurus, or Apatosaurus, wichever you prefer) due to it having a longer neck then most galionus species. Komodogalionus was named after the Komodo Dragon.

the Carchagalionus was named after the dinosaur Cacharadontosaurus.

and ofcourse, Tyrannogalionus (Tyrant Beast) was named after the Tyrannosaurus Rex. although. Tyrannogalionus could easily kill and eat a T-rex without breaking a sweat.

Thanks. I was actually going to ask where you’d gotten the names for the Galionus species (though I had a pretty good guess for all but Profounigalionus). Just wondering: what were your reasons for giving Komodogalionus and Carchagalionus those particular names?

Brontosaurus is the same as Apatosaurus, but Brachiosaurus is a completely different kind of sauropod, so I’ll go with Brachiosaurus. (“Brontogalionus” might be just as apt, as it would mean “Thunder Beast”, a reference to its voice and footsteps. )

no, I mean the first sketch i did of Rahl. yeah I colored it. go to page one, look at the first sketch I did of rahl and on that post you'll find I did a colored version of it. I wish I did a better job with it though.

Oh. I thought you said the final version of her would probably have different colors.

I realy think it needs to be rethought. so I'm gonna put it aside for a while. I am getting some flack about it with my co-Writer, who I don't think wants to work with me anymore about it. but you know. its just one of thoughs things.

Oh dear. Sorry to hear that. I'd still be happy to help you out if you'd like (though I don't know if I could be a full-time co-writer, given the ever-decreasing amount of free time I have nowadays :unsure:). If it's not too general a question, what parts or aspects of the story that you've shared so far do you think need to be changed or redone?

By the way, just a general statement I'd like to make: I'm sorry if the critique I leave on your work ever gets annoying or frustrating. It's just my style of giving feedback; pointing out what I think is good about the material I'm reviewing, and what I think could be better. I do it because I like the art/writing and care about it, and want to help its creator make it as good as it can possibly be. I always want to avoid coming off as nosy, pushy, or otherwise irritating in my attempts to be helpful, but I can never tell when I'm going too far, since everyone has a different threshold. So please don't hesitate to tell me if I'm ever crossing that boundary, so I know to modify my reviewing style so that I don't upset you.

but yeah colorful dinosaurs I like best. mainly because you can get such vivid ideas for their colors. I always liked purple on a dinosaur. mainly cuz its one of my favorite colors. that along with black red and sage. oh and green.

One of the things that bugs me about shows like Walking With Dinosaurs and Jurassic Park is that I don't think they make their dinosaurs colorful enough. Not that they're bad shows, but I wish they'd stop painting their dinosaurs with mammalian color palettes, and start looking more at the colors of birds and reptiles for inspiration. They are the dinosaurs closest relatives, after all, and dinosaurs probably did have good color vision like them. Not to mention that practically every dinosaur with an unusual or prominent characteristic (horns, frills, sails, crests, feathers, spikes, even armor) has been stamped with the hypothesis that it used that feature for display and communication, like a peacock's train or a chameleon's skin.
