I'm finally reading James Gurney's 1992 #Dinotopia for the very first time, and I'm surprised to see how exactly similar it is in look and feel to one of my favorite books from my own childhood, Wil Huygen's 1977 #Gnomes (although upon reflection, it makes sense, given that only 15 years separates the two books' original publication dates).

🌿 Parasaurolophus mount 🌿
I think this was my best work so far.
Inspired by the book Dinotopia, which I loved as a child. Hand sculpted from Super Sculpey polymer clay and painted.

Habe ich mich gerade mit meiner Frau über Büchereien unterhalten, erzählt, dass meine Mutter mir unendlich oft #Dinotopia ausleihen musste, mich dann daran erinnert, dass ich nun selbst ein Kind habe, dem ich die Bücher zeigen will – und deshalb gerade alle Dinotopia-Bände gekauft?
Ja.
Episode 42: Dinotopia Dreaming
It’s time for a nostalgia kick. Travis and Alyssa discuss James Gurney’s Dinotopia: an idealised vision of a world where humans and dinosaurs peacefully co-exist and everyone has their place. We explore the storytelling approaches, links to other media and what Dinotopia could look life if it were written today.

#Lore24 of the week! (Cause I absolutely can’t post every day 😂)
Dinari, foremost culture of the 1st age, are mostly druids and rangers. The most notable species in their kingdoms is the Dinaur. Spread across the land, the main seat of power is the ancient Emerald Spires forest #DnD #ttrpg #dinotopia
Found my favourite childhood game on eBay.
The GBA is my original GBA from childhood (the lightboy advance is 2nd hand). But I've been looking for this game and found it on eBay with the box and game manual intact!

From a recent visit to my parents—they discovered my old collection of #Dinotopia trading cards from the 90s! Breathe deep, seek peace! 🦕 ☮️

Today’s group viewing is an early Wentworth Miller project (<3) - #Dinotopia miniseries (well, probably only Part 1)
Heck, write a #CrossoverFic between #Dinotopia and _A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court_, as a societal uplift story, with a heavy tension between the industrial revolution and pastorialism. #Writing #Fanfic
Sitting in a #PemmiCon session about #dinosaurs and ...
I really want to write that crossover fic between Disney's #Atlantis and James Gurney's #Dinotopia now. The big sub crashes into the reefs; the expedition as dolphinbacks, Lee Crabbe as Lee Crabbe, parallels between Lee's lobster and the protective guardian, industrialization vs natural world.

In another universe, Animal Kingdom's Dino Land USA got turned into a #Dinotopia area with a Waterfall City emptying into the central lagoon.
It'd be a fun way to learn more about dinosaurs and open up tons of Lucky-esque living character moments.
@theretrosven In der welt von James Gurney's #Dinotopia.
Nicht nur, dass dort gemeinsam friedlich mit intelligenten Dinosauriern gelebt wird, es gibt auch Höhlen voller Steampunk-Mechas. Zudem ist die Gesellschaft in Dinotopia auch so strukturiert, dass auf das Wohlbefinden aller Bewohner Rücksicht genommen wird. Da will ich hin.
This is a little late for a #FollowFriday , but I just saw some fun boosted artwork:

Only to realize this is the one and only James Gurney, artist and author of #Dinotopia! 😁 🦕
Some examples:
You've just washed ashore in #Dinotopia. What #dinosaur becomes your lifelong companion? 🦖🦕
Pageant day in Sauropolis, a tiny concept sketch for a Dinotopia painting, inspired by the architecture of capitols in Missouri, Pennsylvania, and Rhode Island, and by the World Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893, and the related expos in Paris and Saint Louis. #dinotopia
