Some notes and sketches about the fictional behaviour of various dinosaur species made for the movie Dinosaur by Ricardo Delgado
Various dinosaurs designed by artist Ricardo Delgado for Disney’s DINOSAUR (2000, Dir. Ralph Zondag & Eric Leighton). Delgado is a prolific film and comic book artist who has worked on over 50 film and television projects but is perhaps best known by many as the creator of the two time Eisner Award winning dinosaur comic book series AGE OF REPTILES (1993 - Present).
Most of the art seen here was done between 1994 and 1996. One of the hallmarks of Delgado’s dinosaurs is how he bases their color schemes off of living animals that he feels occupy the same evolutionary niche that a particular dinosaur might have. Ergo you have a giraffe-like Amargasaurus, a Velociraptor with cheetah spots and zebra striped hadrosaurs. It’s also worth noting how palentologicaly progressive many of Delgado’s designs are. Take note of both the feathers on his Stygimoloch and the quills on his baby Stegosaurus.
