I worked on the Walking with Dinosaurs movie during preproduction as a character designer. I did multi-view skeletal and muscle diagrams to help guide the 3D sculptor (the talented David Krentz) and produced range of motion and movement studies. I continued to consult during development of the walk and run cycles, and served in a "catch-all" role on behavior and ecology when one of the other paleo advisors wasn't available.

There were of course many other important advisors, and an entire army of artists who have worked on the movie since I was last involved, and they deserve most of the credit. For me the process was incredibly challenging and rewarding, and while you never get everything you want on a project like this the trailer makes me very excited to see the finished product!

Hello again, my brother, Scott Hartman!
What is your opinion about my imagination( drew my Dimorphodon legs according to gymnasts position in Vault{n artistic gymnastics apparatus} .you can examine yourself….while you place your hands in the ground, your legs are nearly parallel with ground…I am not a gymnast but I can imagine their legs position while they launch in Vault)?



yesterday, after I sent Email to Dr. Mike Habib every month for three years, yes after three years, Mike Habib told me his opinion just about my new Dimorphodon.....nearly, I was disappointment for his answer...therefore, I decide to forget him for always....but suddenly I saw his Email...I had mix emotion...I was happy but also sad for inattention to me for three years(exactly while I need to his opinion for improve my imagination about Dimorphodon)....in fact, I makde my New illustration according your pictures(my dear Scott Hartman) and several guides of my new friends....Therefore, Habib opinion was not really useful Not, after three years, I increase my ability and knowledge very hard....even, David Peters, John Sibbick try to help me but I surprised why did some famous have inattention to me for just tell their personal opinion about my mistakes of my art.....

there is his Email:
"Greetings Amin, I am sorry my letter has taken so long; I have been traveling much of the last month. Your illustration is very good. The overall layout of the bones and the anatomy are quite accurate overall. I think you may be missing some details from the base of the tail (processes of the base caudal vertebrae) and the pelvis may be slightly too short. However, I do not have any good photographs or measurements from Dimorphodon myself. You may want to contact Lorna Steel at the Natural History Museum of London; she works on pterosaurs and knows the original Dimorphodon material very well. In terms of the takeoff pose, it is a good representation of a standardized pose. Because Dimorphodon had forelimbs and hind limbs more similar in length than in some later pterosaurs, it is possible that the feet and hands left the ground almost at the same time during takeoff. If so, then the foot might not be so elevated by the time the hands pushed off as you have shown - this is still unknown, however, and is just speculation on my part. I may have some interest in using your illustrations in the future; I will be in touch if that is case. The projects I am currently working on have finished illustrations, but I always have new projects! I hope all is well, and thank you for writing in all the way from Tehran! Mike Habib"


but my answer about legs position:
"Thank you very much for all of your kind words in previous Emails… I make my Dimorphodon correct for some things(pubic, Teeth, vertebrae, tail membrane)….you have my permission for use my illustration in your articles, books, website, BlogSpot, power points, classes….in fact, the real opinion belong to you and I just make a model according to your opinion….As a biologist, I always try to be a good observer….I drew my Dimorphodon legs according to gymnasts position in Vault(an artistic gymnastics apparatus)…you can examine yourself….while you place your hands in the ground, your legs are nearly parallel with ground….just care yourself…I am not a gymnast but I can imagine their legs position while they launch in Vault… Amin"

Hello.

Im working on a story with dinosaurs thats gonna be mutants BUT look like reagular dinosaurs with feathers and all. I have a idea of add a flying dromeosaurid in the size of Utahraptor i bigger, in reality it wouldnt work but its sci-fi. i plan on design it with legwings and large wings making it more belivable for it to fly., how would you do ?
