What is this? Is this related to Dinosaucers? I freaking loved Dinosaucers.
I answered this in an ask, but I realized I didn’t run down what DynoGuard is… So, from our “elevator pitch” document:
Sixty-five million years ago, the world was populated by talking, technologically advanced dinosaurs. These Dinosovians were protected by the DynoGuard, a team of rescue specialists clad in advanced mechanical Aegis Armor, and powered by the DynoBond, a machine-dinosaur interface that unlocks their innate super-abilities.
Then the monster meteor Apothis, a living nightmare that consumes the life of whole worlds, came to feast upon the Earth. With doom approaching, the lead researcher at Science Tower One altered his experimental Time Slip technology to send their civilization forward in time thousands of years to avoid the devastation.
But something went wrong…
An epoch later, Science Tower One partially rematerializes in the modern world, merging with Spire Observatory outside Granite Mountain, Colorado. It brings with it five Dinosovians: Sheriff Rex (a Dracorex), Brach (a Brachiosaurus), Linn (a Velociraptor), Kyle (an Ankylosaurus), and Zara (a Parasaurolophus). Marooned in a strange new world of mammals and unfamiliar technology, they cannot know when—or even if—the rest of their people will return
This would have been difficult enough without the return of Apothis, injured and trapped in Earth’s orbit. Now he sends the Fossil Ghouls, an army of monsters lead by the ever-changing skeletal warlord Extinxion, to destroy the DynoGuard and make way for the restoration of their master.
It’s a good thing the dinos have human friends, like teen cryptozoologist Jason James, his astronomer father Sagan James and the backing of tech billionaire Gloria Anning, because the Fossil Ghouls are just the tip of the villainous iceberg!
The battle is on! Roar into the Future with The DynoGuard!
–
The DynoGuard is, essentially, the story of refugees from a time-lost civilization of sapient dinosaurs banding together to defend their new home and friends against threats both supernatural and super-scientific. They do this by combining their natural powers with cutting edge power armor and an array of toyetic vehicles.
They’re opposed by the Fossil Ghouls, undead villains created by Apothis, each combining prehistoric power and supernatural might into a unique monster. They are lead by Extinxion, a skeletal warlord-warlock forged from fossil bone and cursed amber.
And include the sycophantic Yorik, mummy oviraptor, sorcerous priest of Apothis and master “monstersmith”
The vampire smilodon mistress of the unliving tar, LaBrea and her hulking ice-age Frankenstein manservant HodgePodge
and a host of other monsters including the two-headed Mr. Sea/Mr. Sky, the phantasmal Spectersaur, the volcanic Dimetrogorgon and the Dunkleosteus Pirate Queen/Ghost Ship Coldsnap.
While some aspects are revising day-to-day, this tumblr is a record of that development.
I posted earlier that I’d like art of my characters for my birthday, stuff that’s usable in a pitch document, and so reference would seem to be in order.
This also means an art dump below the fold. Enjoy!
