Curate, connect, and discover
while i have kinda chilled a bit on the interest, i still love dinosaurs as well(my room is covered in dinosaur decorations) but fun fact, my first ever oc, which was a sonic oc, is half dinosaur, half hedgehog, a hedgesaur which kid me just designed as like.....a hedgehog....with no ears or backspines.....and tipped quills and i named him......"dino" (die-no) whichi recently learned is an italian name pronounces (dee-no)
dino has had....so many versions over the years, like total of 10 now
THATS SO REAL. my bedroom has some dinosaur stuff in it like a lego brachiosaurus standee + a rex skull model sculpt (forget what specific specimen its based off of) and in my living room we (me and my boyfriend) have a big glass cabinet full of fossils. the shelves are organized into groups. we have a dinosaur shelf (of course) and our big highlights are a spinosaurus tooth bouta as long as your palm + a triceratops vertebra. for non-dinosaurs we got some big sellers like a mesohippus jaw (early horse), an elasmosaur tooth, lots of fossilized coral, some fish from the eocene, and some amber with arthropods inside. we also have a fossilized wasp my boyfriend found himself at a quarry in new york
on the topic of dinosaur ocs i used to have this series of books planned that revolved around dinosaurs time-traveling. it went through like, 5 full revamps since its creation (which was around when i was .... 12?). ive dropped the story really all together, but recently ive been like, recycling some of the characters into other projects. maybe ill post them here eventually!
