WoW! Your work is awesome!

I have been flirting with the idea of sculpting, creating my own models.

How did you get started?

Thanks Joe! I used to build dino worlds as a kid. I used tree branches and plastic chinasaurs to create lost worlds. At around the age of twelve or so I started using some clay to create my own dinos. I used clay that dries up in room temperature and the results varied. Had great fun though! Then there was a long break - high school, university, kids and stuff happened. It was two years ago that I decided to try again and this time with Super Sculpey. Stay tuned - a new diorama is on its way! :)

So here's a little something I made to amuse my kids and myself: Dinomike Queen of Arendelle Diorama with a juvenile Yutyrannus named Olaf. You may notice the influence by Doug Watson's excellent Yutyrannus :D







April 8th:
I retooled Elsa's face which I wasn't happy with and repainted her eyes. I also made a new snow flake. My kids are happier with it now. :D

My kids stated: 'TThe dino is so cute but Elsa is just bad! She's ugly!The snowflake doen't look like a snowflake! But the dino is cute!' Hahaha! so much for my efforts to produce an interpretation of Elsa! My artistic goals were not understood. :)

Fantastic, absolutely fantastic Dinomike.  Reminds me of some fun dioramas I made for my own kids when they were little. What company made that Yutyrannus?

Wait, I think I figured it out - you sculpted it from scratch, right?  A++++++ KUDOS!!!

Pretty cool (pun intended >:D). In my opinion, Frozen was the best Disney film we've had in years. Probably because I love winter 8)

Nice job! I know from experience humans can be a pain to draw/sculpt.  One reason I do very few outside of an anime style.

I haven't seen the film yet but the sculpt you have is very well done.

I generally avoid and dislike disney style characters and so forth as a general personnal rule, but your sculpture is just brilliant...very nice.

I first painted the base with hues of blue and white. Then I seamend gaps with Efco Snow Liner. Then I covered everything with Noch Schneeflocken Snow powder. Very easy to use! :)

Beautiful sculpture! I especially noticed the braided hair... That looks like it would be interesting to make. The Yutyrannus looks professional! ^-^
