[@allenkeith7160]

I kind of want to see Clint "design" some fantasy creatures based off of real-life animal anatomy. Or Re-Design some that could be better, or simply make more sense with more realistic features, despite their magical or supernatural nature. (I like Birds that have those Carpal Spurs, or claws used for climbing, and have a single "Snow Owl" Harpy character from D&D (Based on the Aarakokra race) that has them for when Flight is not an option, or not easy. Also used as a thumb to grasp things when needed, but she mostly uses her feet.)

After he led his crew to a watery grave, a puppet of a crab wearing a skull as a shell walked across the screen

[@ThyriaSharin]

I'm a retired commercial graphic designer and graphic artist. I'm sure that artist DID actually reference a real duck skeleton. I'm also pretty confident that the artist took the concept to the people who commissioned it, and was told to add most of the weird stuff. I personally have a collection of works that never went into my portfolio, and instead fell into the category of "It wasn't my fault." I can't pick a single skeleton as "the worst." They were all pretty bad. But while the snail is anatomically hilarious, I find it visually pleasing. I kinda want one. I also want one of those skeletal pumpkins. I think my corn snake would love to climb around on it.

[@kristin4160]

That was my thought, too. First draft was a duck skeleton. Final product was after some notes to make it "look like" a duck.

[@oiytd5wugho]

you also have to make it cheap to produce, so having stuff like ulna and radius being separate bones just automatically adds thousands of dollars to the production cost because now you can no longer use a two part mold to make the whole leg in one go 🤷‍♀

[@almightyshippo1197]

I've dabbled in graphic design enough to completely agree. You give them accuracy, they give you a list of notes on how to screw it up. Sometimes, as someone else mentioned, it might be a manufacturing requirement, and I get it. Doing certain things because of the imitations of the equipment is normal, and artistic vision sometimes needs to make room for whatever medium gets used. But then they want to change the looks in ways that make no sense, and since they are the client it's ultimately up to them. Give them what they want, then move on, and pretend it never happened. lol

[@ThyriaSharin]

@@almightyshippo1197 Exactly. It's incredibly frustrating, but the job is to give the client what they want, not what you think is best. And the limitations of the manufacturing method and materials are absolutely an issue you have to deal with. It's always a compromise.

[@orochifuror7148]

@@almightyshippo1197 While the first is understandable, you have to work with efficiency when creating something. The whole idea of you making something great and some idiot saying make it look more "real" while making it look less real just irritates me. It screams of ignorance and then that ignorance gets mass produced to improperly inform others. I'd almost say you should keep your horror folder to make sure you can put those next to the original designs to show how much better a thing could have been. You could actually perhaps make some educational things along those lines.

The duck makes me wonder if artists do a good job making these animal skeletons (maybe they don't include one or two important features because they don't know how important they are or they simplify some things to make the final product more sturdy or the design easier to demold) and then clients send the design back because it doesn't look enough like the animal its supposed to be.

[@CainXVII]

I would guess they know ducks don't have "tail feather bones" and add them to get more of a duck look. Ppl who buy halloween decorations don't care if they are completely accurate

[@glarnboudin4462]

Or they’re just making them for fun.

[@ohrats731]

That’s what I was thinking for the duck too. It’s definitely something that happens a lot to designers. The client always “knows better.” Or it’s a product or sales manager within the company who says the average customer who’ll buy more of the inaccurate designs. A lot goes on behind the scenes when it comes to corporate product design

Some are definitely made for ridiculous fun. Some I do agree seem to be made by a person who saw the actual skeleton, made a few adjustments to make it easier to make, then a few more to make it more recognizable to someone who is not familiar with skeletal anatomy. And then some seem to be made by two completely different people, one with an interest in skeletons, and one just wanting to make a train wreck.

I have a "kitten" skeleton, which is a "cat" skeleton at 75% scale. The head is too tall and it has bone ears, but it is recognizable as a cat if you don't know skeletons. Ever seen an elephant skull? Those look WILD and most adults can't even identify what animal they are. So yeah, I totally understand the reasoning behind it, even if they are pretty inaccurate. Plus, they're more "cute" for little kids who may otherwise be frightened by skeletons.

I have a feeling that with skeletons like the duck that are overall pretty accurate, but then have something ridiculous like long fingers, the artist was told by the producers that it's not spooky enough and needs more bones. Or the artist made a call that buyers would expect something more boney and added them for flair.

[@patrickdix772]

10:55 theres a good chance the artist designed a more accurate wing and tail, then whoever was in charge of approving the design demanded changes to make ut look more like their idea of a duck skeleton. It could also be to look a bit more like a live duck's shape, rather than the real skeleton.

@almightyshippo1197 the animal communities are very small. So yup, that's the one. At least she always jokes about it. A good sense of humor is a beautiful thing to have.

The very wrong snails do raise an interesting creepy question: Snails mostly make their own shell, but some crabs and such will,I think, move into a shell that they find, yes? Could any animal find a human skeleton and decide to walk off in a human skull? It's kind a cool idea, but I'd assume most would be looking for protection without quite so many big holes and gaps in it.

[@GaryDunion]

I've never seen such a thing but yes it sounds very plausible to me that when push comes to shove a hermit crab would prefer a skull, holey though it is, to no shell at all. Although I don't think in real life they get big enough to use even the smallest human skull. An animal I _could_ see using a human skull for protection is an octopus, they're pretty imaginative in putting things they find to good use, and definitely pick up things like large bivalve shells to use as armour.

[@05Matz]

@@GaryDunion Maybe a coconut crab, before it outgrows the use of shells altogether? I think the young ones pick up shells like regular hermit crabs, until they develop to the point of not fitting any more? But I might be wrong about that.

[@laurensuty2760]

32:42 Schleich toys! I work at a local toy store, and they're one of my favorite things that we sell. They're high quality, and meant to be as realistic and lifelike as possible(supposedly even the footprints of some of the ones like dinosaurs are accurate). Very interesting about the "fingers" being wrong on their model! I would love to figure out if we could reach out to our contact there and let them know lol. They make a ton of different models, but I think analyzing their dinosaur ones would be a rly interesting video, especially because those are the ones they tend to make the largest(FYI they're pronounced like Sh-like) :)

[@maryeckel9682]

I love those toys!

Good mornign clint, lgad to see you again 🤙 i visited my parents recently and they had almost every single terrible skeleton youve covered so far to make their "undead zoo" Halloween display this year. I thought it was incredible 😂

[@aaronmayne6138]

I would really love to see a dedicated video on Pterosaurs. They're really interesting because they are one of 3 vertebrate lineages to achieve powered flight. I wanna know about their early evolution. Their phylogeny and diversity across the Mesozoic and why they didn't survive the end Cretaceous mass extinction when some birds did.

[@admiralcat3809]

That pumpkin looks like the exoskeleton of an echinoderm. They literally made a plant fruit become an animal, I'd say that's peak creativity.

[@justaghostinthesea]

We have those snails in the Spirit Halloween I work at! I find them exceptionally cute.

[@Mermare]

They are cute. And after all, and correct snail skeleton would be...an empty shell. 😂

[@LokiMartin-i6s]

My family were in Spirit Halloween this past weekend on our vacation and I saw those little snails and no sooner had I had the thought, "oh, they're oddly cute" then this little girl runs up, picks one up and runs to her mom proclaiming that they "still have her friend". Mom told her they could get "her friend". It was oddly heartwarming! ❤

[@thoracis]

I just bought the skeleton centipede off clearance at Michael’s and the poor register person was terrified of it. I felt so bad! I forgot other people don’t love creepy stuff like I do 😭

Imagine seeing an anatomically correct snail based off that skeleton. It would be a human head with a weird spiral hair pattern, while also having a smaller humanoid face with 4 blunt horns popping out of the side of it. -_o freaking horrifying!! Also. Happy Halloween! 🎃

Man the anglerfish real skeleton looks so much more epic!

[@lilyofthevalley05]

literally!! i’m convinced the person who made it was going more for fun and spooky rather than scary because the real skeleton is much scarier and cool looking

[@tpeter4240]

You may have said this, but I’m guessing that, at least for some of these, the artist brought up a model of a duck skeleton, and then some corpo said “it doesn’t look enough like a duck.”

[@HappyBeezerStudios]

I just appreciate the thought that the snail looks like a skull with an epic beard and horns.

[@melscrittercrochet]

Don't even get me started on inaccurate animal skeletons 😤 At the start of the year I took up the hobby of crocheting plushies, so I've been in JoAnn a lot recently for yarn. And right now, the first thing you're smacked in the face with when you walk in the door are the animal skeletons... The skeleton pony has a freaking mane and tail!!!?? Why?! And they all have ears! 😫 I think I'll have to do all my yarn shopping online until Halloween is over 😑

[@monkeybrain0212]

Just when I thought it couldn't get worse from the octopus skeleton...the snail 💀

[@fugithegreat]

I was in Home Depot yesterday looking at the horses, dogs, and cats all complete with ears. There was also a cow with ears and also a tuft of hair at the end of its boney tail. 😅

[@ohrats731]

I choose to think that the ones with notable accuracies were forced to add the inaccuracies by a non-artist product manager who said the average consumer needs a “more obvious” design to recognize the animal lol

[@rosehipowl]

My personal theory is that they are creatures from an alternate universe to ours. Maybe in Universe 3C5 these are just normal anatomical animal skeletons, and they use our real anatomical animal skeletons as their spooky Halloween decorations!

[@isabela7215]

I just met this guy and know absolutely nothing about biology, especially in english since im brasilian, but hes just so exitedly rambling about inadequate sternums i kinda love it ngl. Keep making your videos, i really like them!

[@quickestscoped7603]

Honestly the actual angerfish skeleton that you showed looks genuinely terrifying and would've worked much better, though it might be more fragile idk. the one we actually got looks like it went on a huge diet, got stretched out a bunch and had its bones thickened.

[@LokiMartin-i6s]

I know, right? I had never seen an anglerfish skeleton before and that thing took my breath away! It looks like something out of a horror movie!

[@maryeckel9682]

They could drop that on the people at the Niagara Haunted House and get the best horrified humans pictures ever!

[@Voidbear_FNaF_and_Undertale]

The fact that the rubber duck skeleton has even some accurate things is funny

[@paranoiarpincess]

Realistically, that snail “skeleton” is absolutely horrible. Artistically, however, that is one of THE coolest things I have ever seen! I'm an artist and I like making things that aren't really, specifically, I'm currently working on a series where I surround mythological and monstrous women in their favorite things (I have an extraterrestrial woman and a dwarven woman painted in a 3d environment of line doodles [like Zentangle™️] and hydrangeas respectively, in my yt shorts if your interested in seeing them) that I call _Wondrous Women With Their Treasured Things._ So I've seen my share of crazy skeleton art (pretty sure most of which occur near Hallowe'en, on your channel lol) and that snail is probably my favorite of the nearly unimaginably inorganic “animal” skeleton imaginings. If someone told me it was a cryptid, I'd believe them, being cryptids aren't real either lol, because it's so very well designed.

[@thoracis]

Wow! I love that concept, and your art is really good! And I totally agree with everything you said about the Halloween skeletons ❤
