These are the only artworks I found online which does it, if you guys know additonal ones feel free to send here.
What are your overall thoughts? Do you think it could work on like a reboot or an additional skin in a video game?
Imo I think these designs are neat but I haven't found a best example of it other than these 2. 😅
Context: First image shows Tylosaurus Rex which is a newly described species of Mosasaur, its name means "King of the Tylosaurs", it grew up to 43 feet (13 meters) & lived 80 million years ago in the Late Cretaceous.
2nd Image shows a photo collage, upper image shows what I think the Mediterranean Sea looked like under Roman occupation in my chosen era & the bottom one is a depiction of a Roman City for the vibes.
Lore: I dropped the Tylosaurus rex into the Mediterranean Sea; it was biologically augmented to survive climate stress, resist ancient diseases & easily hunt its preferred prey without altering its natural appearance or behavior.
I chose a late sub-adult male so It can live & grow inside the basin for years, as well as to discourage breeding.
I chose a Tylosaurus instead of a Mosasaurus because of the species' iconic rostrum which, is still being debated on whether they used it for ramming prey, thermoregulation or even both.
But if it could than it has a chance of fighting back to protect itself from the physical harassment it would possibly endure from the Roman Navy.
if this behavior continues between both parties, with the enhanced immune system of the Tylosaurus it would accumulate scarring on its body over the years rather than dying from infected wounds.
The period of Rome I chose is the 2nd century AD for the reason that during this time they've controlled the entire coastline & all of the Mediterranean Sea even giving it the name *Mare Nostrum.*
Questions:
What are the effects of the Tylosaurus on the Roman's maritime dominion?
How weird would this creature be (appearance wise) to the Romans, what would they call it?
How would the Romans stop it if the creature's presence in their sea cause significant changes in its environment?
What would happen if they successfully killed the creature after years of terror?
What would also happen if the creature simply escaped the Mediterranean unbeknownst to them after years of its terror?
Context: The photo collage is a reference for what this "hypothetical pinup girl" would look like, so she'd look rather on par with her contemporaries of the time & not some modern chick from a modern music video, with the only difference is what she can to with her ass.
The twerking gifs are an example on how well she twerks as I'm no expert in it but I imagine she'd be able to move her glutes the same way as the ladies shown from gif 1 to 3.
Lore: Let's call this fictional pinup girl Lola LaRue & she learned twerking or atleast the original version from an African dancer she encountered from her home state (idk) that's less severe in racial segregation. She just added unto it & made it her own detached from its West African Roots.
She'd be in her prime doing this in the late 50s so there'd be chances of her getting filmed which can than be preserved for future generations.
Questions:
- How shocking, controversial & off course horny would this be to the society of the late 50s?
- Aswell as how famous would Lola be as a pinup girl & burlesque performer?
- Would other pinup models copy it? Because I imagine a situation where a bunch of doctors analyze how the hell Lola moves her butt like that & then Lola reveals it's actually (if Google is correct) the erector spinae muscles in the lower back & controlled pelvic tilting, rather than the glutes even showing a short demonstration. I'd imagine it being accidentally televised & as America panics, managers of other pinup girls watched & realized that it can be taught.
- What would be the ripple effects of this, specially in the later decades to the 60s, 70s & 80s now that twerking was invented in the mid century & not the 2010s?
- How controversial of a figure would Lola be when seen in the modern lens by the Black Community because although its funny, I admit it sounds abit white washy. Because twerking is kinda cemented in Hip Hop culture that's also associated with the black community. Like would Hip Hop even be invented, or the bounce movement in the 90s where this dance originated from, WOULD BABY GOT BACK BE EVEN MADE?
Yeah tbh I just thought of this as a joke that I went to deeply in.
The 2 pictures of werewolf costumes I added in are more of a reference on what i think it could've looked like or what Universal could've achieved if they went with the wolf-headed look with the limited special effects of their time.
Image sources; werewolf 1 werewolf 2
Werewolf 2 is a bit of a stretch while werewolf 1 is the most likely.
But it made me realize why they opted for the "hairy caveman" look we all know & it's for Lon Chaney Jr. to convey emotion while in the fur & claws which he did masterfully.
Idk, just think its a good "What if" scenario because I always thought that the wolf-headed werewolf design in very old Werewolf movies wasn't possible then because of limited special effects, but after seeing The Bat with his cool mask it made me realize how they could've done it, idk how well though.
