Made a video again :P...another fake Parashi Opening: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGa8pPlOxuQ
It's really choppy and suuuuuper scribbly because I took like 30 seconds to draw each frame. Please fill in the gaps and gloss over the art with your wonderful imagination! I made it in Windows Movie Maker which is an absolutely evil program =o=
I'll try to fix up the ugly pictures and maybe add some color when I have time, and reupload another version later :b (don't know when though.) For now feel free to watch this one and laugh at it huhuhu

The Echo chamber dilemmaThe promise of the Internet was that unlimited information and experiences would draw us together. But instead it seems to have driven us apart.
For years I've observed this behavior but haven't been able to vocalize it correctly. Originally I called the behavior of collective opinions as "the hive mentality" of the Internet. But that wasn't exactly right and I often got called out on it. The most prominent example was when I made a comic about a guy disagreeing with opinions and being shouted at till he remained quiet, eventually fading into the background with everyone else. The consensus of that comic was that if you disagree with someone you aren't bullied into not speaking, but instead are free to go someplace else where people who do agree with you exist. And you know what? That wasn't what i was trying to convey, but is sadly true. The Internet is not a hive mind. It's many tiny pocket echo chambers of mutual agreements.
And this is becoming a growing problem, I think, because n

Callibrate your Wacom tutorialHad you  finally  made  the transition from intuos 3 to intuos 4?, or Are you rich to change into an intuos 5? Had you made the transition from a first generation cintiq  to the new ones?. More levels of pressure will mean  more quality to the paintings, am i right?. 
Did you thought that by default the pen will it be like using butter on bread?, you try it for the first time and you love all of it, you said i have sooooooo much control on my strokes im having a blast. Then only  to realize you only have total control of the brush but when you are moving it really slow?. But when you do quick strokes the pressure drops a lot of paint making you redraw tons of stuff?
Did you ever thought that painter its hard to handle with new tablet? Too much pressure? If it has more pressure why i cant control more easier the beggining of the stroke which is more crucial?.
Have you ever open the customize option in wacom settings,  only to feel dumb and no

Giant feathered tyrannosauroids!

:iconalbertonykus:

No, this is not a late April Fools' joke. It's real. Some may recognize this as the feathered tyrannosauroid figured back in 2010 in a paper on the ontogeny of Similicaudipteryx. It was described as being "large", and it is. How big was Yutyrannus? About the same size as freaking Gigantoraptor. Or, for even better perspective, the size of Albertosaurus and Gorgosaurus, dwarfing any other known theropod from its environment!

There we go. A large theropod, and a possible tyrannosauroid to boot. Confirmed to have had feathers. More than worth the wait. And remember this? B-) (Probably not; I only had a handful of watchers back then.)

I post most dinosaur news here after the end of each month, but, you see, while the Microraptor feather colors study almost made me do this, this discovery actually made me do it. Several times.

From the linked article:

"It weighed in at 1,400 kilograms (3,100 pounds), and was at least 7 or 8 metres in length. That’s 40 times bigger than Beipiaosaurus, the previous record-holder for largest feathered dinosaur (and another Xu discovery)."

Wasn't Sinocalliopteryx the previous record holder?

Sinocalliopteryx was long, but Beipiaosaurus was heavier.

And now for your Paul-esque suggestion of the week: any chance this thing's an adult Dilong?
Reply
:iconalbertonykus:
~Albertonykus Apr 15, 2012
Highly unlikely; the holotype of Dilong wasn't fully grown, but it was already pretty close.

Isn't that what they said about Raptorex?
Reply
:iconalbertonykus:
~Albertonykus Apr 17, 2012
Unlike with Raptorex though no one has questioned the ontogeny of Dilong yet, so it appears to be less ambiguous.
