Halichoeres

Those are wonderful! What is the material?
In the kingdom of the blind, better take public transit. Well, in the kingdom of the sighted, too, really--almost everyone is a terrible driver.

My attempt to find the best toy of every species

My trade/sale/wishlist thread

Sometimes I draw pictures


Bokisaurus

I absolutely love these especially the Gharial! Awesome!

Neosodon

Those are some very well done models. Would be neat to see how they are made.

"3,000 km to the south, the massive comet crashes into Earth. The light from the impact fades in silence. Then the shock waves arrive. Next comes the blast front. Finally a rain of molten rock starts to fall out of the darkening sky - this is the end of the age of the dinosaurs. The Comet struck the Gulf of Mexico with the force of 10 billion Hiroshima bombs. And with the catastrophic climate changes that followed 65% of all life died out. It took millions of years for the earth to recover but when it did the giant dinosaurs were gone - never to return." - WWD

Ravonium

Those are amazing, especially the sunbittern, which is a very unique choice of bird!

Shonisaurus

The gharial is awesome. By the way, the gharial, although fortunately it is a crocodile that still exists among us, reminds me of the extinct phytosaurs of the late Triassic period.

Mamasaurus

Wow! Absolutely gorgeous work! Since I have four young children, I'm particularly partial to the adorable sauropod relief and stuffed raptor. If possible, I would buy a few of those from you! :D

Thank you!  These are made mostly made from cardboard, wire and paper mache.  They have to be lightweight to hang on a tree.  The smaller details on the gharial, especially on the face, were made from powdered balsa wood mixed with acrylic gesso.  The scales were acrylic molding paste piped on using cake decorating tools-a frosting tip and a parchment paper cone.

I was pretty rushed when I made these so there aren't any progress photos.  However, I'm working on some new dinosaurs at the moment, using the same techniques and I'm taking some pics at various stages.  Now the only question is, do I post making of pics now or save these for the diorama contest?

Thank You!  I tried selling stuffed dinosaurs on etsy a long time ago, but I'm not very efficient at making them.  They usually end up taking like 30-40 pieces for one pattern and at most I get 2 done in a year :(

Must have missed your last post due to being very busy this year... so even three quarters of a year late, those are amazing! I don't care much for christmas trees, but this makes me want one :D

You can always do a halloween tree instead of christmas!  I got some eyeball and ghost lights last year so i'm hoping to get one up this fall.

Totoro

Replying to bump this thread for those that haven't had the fortune to see all of your wonderous creations, and to add my words of admiration to those of others.  You're so talented, Irimali, thanks for showing some of your amazing art!

New art!  A little more psychedelic than I normally go. 



This was an experiment that didn't exactly turn out.  I was looking at those illusory motion pictures and trying to use the same color patterns to make it look like things are moving.  There will be more testing.

This one's from a year ago but I never got around to posting it.  Roseate spoonbill christmas ornament:







I saw some photos of spoonbills flying and their flight feathers are kinda translucent.  So of course I had to try.

Your Stuff is mindblowing. Beautiful is a word not strong enough. I really have no Idea, how i missed your Thread. Thanks for showing.

Edit: After having a look again on your wide (!) portfolio here, i have to say that i really like the trippyness in a lot of your works. A naturalistic spirituality.

Lanthanotus

Okay, you got me.... I now want a Xmas tree as your`s must look like, even it is way past Easter :D


Halichoeres

I really like that Carboniferous scene. What's that taller lycophyte in front of the Sigillaria?

Really elegant ornament, too. Well done.

Thank you!  Some of my favorite artists do some pretty trippy work :)

Thanks!  The taller lycophyte is a young Lepidophloios, when it's just beginning to branch out but doesn't have a full crown yet.

Thanks!  These are all for my mom's tree, but you'd probably appreciate it.  It's nothing but animals :)

Attempted carboniferous landscape with tree ferns and seed ferns.  Psaronius, neuropteris, mariopteris, plus some horsetails-sphenophyllum and calamostachys, and lepidodendron and sigillaria in the background. 

Colored pencil drawings are not easy to photograph:(

Colored pencil isnt easy to draw in the 1st place, at least not in that quality. Phenomenal work once more irimali.
