Dilophosaurus painting




Struthiomimus progress




An opinion on the Struthio..I kinda thinking the feathers should go around the eye as well ? Too much or go for it ?

We are working on it. :)  I do a haunted attraction every October in a different place but I'm building my dino park right here where I build everything, at home.

The Dino Park is actually open for self guided tours now, admission is donation only now. :)

I've been out of the loop so when I see the Struthio, I was suddenly hit with the thought, 'OHMYGIGANTOSAURUS. Blade can do feathers now. OMG.'


You can do feathery fluff now. *faints*

Very cool and neat to see how you are planning to do some feathers!  If you think you can pull off feathers around the eyes then go for it.  Its fine the way it is as well though. 

How big is the allosaurus going to be?

Yeah...  ^-^ It's my first attempt at feathers..hoping ot get some practice in before doing a Velociraptor... ;D

The Allo will probably be around 23-25' I think.

Here are some paint progress pics :

Oh, I seem to have missed the latest Struthiomimus progress. Loving the feathers! I like the branch the Dilophosaurus is stepping on too.

I have more progress on the Struthio but haven't taken pics yet...the feathers were a pain so far..still not sure how they will take to painting..  :-\

You've no idea how many people asked what animal that is the Dilo is standing on..from rough stage to painting..lol  ;D

ZoPteryx

Wooooow!!!! :))  That pterosaur is really cool too!

Glad you think so !

Honestly I like most of it..but I botched the wings pretty bad..made them way too thick. I've found there is a size limit  for my method..this is pretty much it..lol But it will serve it's purpose..Dilophosaur prey ! ;D

Have you thought about using real feathers? Im sure turkey feathers would be big enough to work. We kill our own turkeys and chickens and I know how many feathers come from one large bird. They seem to last a fairly long time too, and you can just keep adding more if they deteroriate.

Indoors it would be great..but real feathers really wouldn't last long at all in outdoor conditions with moths, wind, rain..I'd be doing repairs all the time..lol

lol I'm actually considering selling that first version to pay for others later on. Feel free to make an offer on it.. just remember it's about 2' x 6' ! ;D

Thanks Boki, I know the pterosaur isn't terribly great, I have more hope for the Struthio though !
