Blade-of-the-Moon's Art

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

How long is your head?  I believe it should be about 26 inches.

It's right around 27 and a quarter inches.

I altered the teeth and made them a little shorter to account for the gums and lips.

Wow! The Apato looks like a titanic endevour, you are constantly raising the bar, Blade! It's gonna be impressive!

Thanks! This will likely be our biggest dino in the Park for awhile. We're running out of extension cords to reach the areas away from our power source... so we'll have to go back to doing 20-25' footers after this.

I assume you will some year make an adult Brachiosaurus to go with your little one.  Do you plan on making it moderate sized (not to big or small compared to the Apatosaurus and your eventual Diplodocus.)

We might. I'd like to do a big one but we'd need a crane for it...just to lift the parts into place.

Our final Velociraptor " Ed "..who just doesn't want you to leave...

My Allosaurus art wall :

[Hynerpeton]

Hello Ed the Raptor.

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

Hello Ed the Raptor.

Ed says " Grrrrrraaaawwwkkk. " 

I'm assuming she means " Hello ".   

[Hynerpeton]

Hello Ed the Raptor.

Ed says " Grrrrrraaaawwwkkk. " 

I'm assuming she means " Hello ".   

thank you Ed.

Mosa start :

Cool! So, you are going with Mosasaurus then? Also, remember the teeth probably wouldn't show in life, based on the lips of monitor lizards, snakes, and marine mammals.

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

Yeah figured " Why not ? " just go with the namesake. lol

I'm sort of basing the flesh on this image :



The teeth are visible a bit there. Mine will have the mouth open in attack position since he is leaping at guests.

[Yutyrannus]

Well, if the mouth is open, then the teeth would be visible on the inside of the mouth, but on the outside they should be covered by "lips" like those of lizards, for one that would keep water from entering its mouth.

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

Agreed.

Agreed.

So you are going to give it lips? Like I said if the mouth is open you would still see then if you look straight into the mouth like with orcas.

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

lips, ridges..it wouldn't be hard to recess them a bit.  There is probably gum on the top and bottom they go into a bit as well...that would allow them to stick out a little further as in the pic above I think.

Your art never ceases to amaze, Blade.   

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

Your art never ceases to amaze, Blade.   

Thanks bud!  That's great to hear..I get bogged down in the flaws too much sometimes so seeing/hearing others reactions really helps.

Here's a video we shot today ( it was HOT) about how we build our dinosaurs.
