Dinosaur Animatronic Band Concept
This idea stemmed from the desire to bring back "animatronic entertainment" in a new light. Gone are the glory days where animatronic restaurant chains were at their peak, but that doesn't mean the concept cannot work anymore; it just needs to be re-invented. That's where my idea comes in.
A new face to animatronic entertainment that resonates with a modern audience. I intend to reposition animatronics in a way that allows them to be rediscovered by the general public.
I am actively developing this plan, along with a team of individuals who are bringing the brand and character vision to life!
Does this project sound like something you'd like to work on? Feel free to reach out through contacting me if you are interested in being a part of the team that will make this plan a reality!

"Mesozoic Mayhem" is a Punk Rock band that will be composed of medium sized carnivores to maintain a general realistic scale. I chose all unique dinosaur species, because I want to introduce the average "dinosaurs are cool" person to more cool species!

I'd like to eventually have two animatronic dinosaur bands, the other being a blues/jazz band composed of herbivores.
The idea is to create a band that is a new and fresh take on an old concept. My target demographic is no longer just kids, it is adults. Adults enjoy themed entertainment when it is relevant to them; hence why you see adults that go to theme parks by themselves.
If I can design a band that has a more mature, but still colorful and full of character look, that also plays music that is appealing to an adult audience, the idea could work.

I went with dinosaurs, because who doesn't like dinosaurs? Plus, they have so many physical characteristics that can be utilized to make some really cool punk/rock designs. Dinosaurs have edginess to them that is perfect for the overall vibe of this band.
When I start brainstorming a character design, I start out by studying the species of dinosaur the character could/will be. Through this study, I can see which features are reoccurring in a variety of paleoart to then incorporate in my own design. Once I get a good idea of the species I am working with, I move onto "cartoonifying" key features and anthropomorphizing them.
