Looking good! Personally I would vote pro-lips for the Cryo, though.

I'm still unsure of the whole lip thing, I ended up basing it on Fabio's Cryo a bit : 

I'm absolutely stunned by this Piece. The Colouration is outstanding. Just Wow.

Edit: Oh. i thought It was the Sculpt. Still i'm very! impressed with your Work!

lol thanks, that one is all Fabio!

Court update :

Just got done a bit ago. We didnt even talk to the judge, our lawyer met with theirs behind closed doors, then spoke with the planning and Zoning people, no idea what was said in there. After that their lawyer just rescheduled.  To start we have a new court date of March 2 at 930 same courthouse in Bristol right now . Our lawyer, Stephanie Sherwood is going to meet with planning and zoning and try to pin down exact specifics of everything they want done. At this time they do still want a restroom built for the Dino park. They do want us to not do our funhouse haunted house on the property anymore as a fundraiser maybe not any of events we have to figure those out and see what and why. I really appreciate everyone's support!

Sorry to nitpick, but I can't seem to see any nostrils.  Otherwise, all these are looking lovely.  Keep up the good work and good luck at court!

Check out the 2nd pic, the Schleich Apato on the shelf is looking at them. See the line? It's not pronounced or heavily scaled, that method didn't seem right anymore so they are more simple just lines in the tissue.

Finished this mom and her kids up tonight, I bought here over a year ago and she's just been on the table waiting for inspiration.






Inspiration was the hadrosaurs from the documentary DINOSAUR hosted by Christopher Reeve :

The color scheme that you chose for your (Maiasaura?) resin kit is really great! It suits well on the models and gives to them a natural appearance that makes them even more realistic! Furthermore, you've painted it masterfully.
Congratulations!

Thank you, sorry I didn't mention it before it's Shane Foulkes Anatotitan kit. I do love big hadrosaur pieces but they are few and far between.   I'm nowhere near a master, but I appreciate that. My method is a lot of drybrushing with a lot of different tones, the more colors the more depth you get. I'll mix my own colors to get a a few shades between each one I use to give a better gradient.

I had planned to do this one in a darker faux bronze with a patina but after doing the Knight Rex I wanted something different so tried an antique bronze. I'm debating if it needs more contrast maybe a black wash?

[Kapitaenosavrvs]

Or you could experiment with a greenish Wash, so you have this Bronzelook of something that has been outside for quite a time.

Your Anatotitan Paitjob is really good. I hope i keep on painting to aquire similar Skills.

Have a good Week.

I did exactly that above with the Knight Rex above.   I wanted something different for this one.

Thank you, just keep practicing and remember to blend.

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

I think I'm done? Lol. I made the base a lot darker to contrast the lighter dino I think it was supposed to be an old lava flow if if I recall correctly? Dry brushed an old gold color on the belly and underside really hard to photograph every light source I try just makes it glow white on my phone camera.

Looks amazing!

Looks amazing! 

Thanks bud!

Hope to add the updated sculpt to when it gets here.

What a beautiful tyrannosaurus, that bronze theropod has been great. I guess it will take you many hours to make these dinosaurs.
