Oh, it is? It's hard to tell on the internet (and I struggle to know when people are being sarcastic, anyway). Never mind.

Guys it was me who commissiond the piece, and I was being sarcastic with my first post.

Ah yes I missed the part below the art photo

The idea of a collection like you're talking about sounds absolutely great! There are not that many sculptors who do old classic looking dinosaurs so it's nice to see someone doing it : )

Gee why on earth would anyone commission something like that? $:-\$ Dinosaurs are better then ever, and they wanted something that harkens back to the old days when they are seen as nothing but slow dumb lizards?

To each there own i supose, but i all i have to say is that who ever commisioned this is insane

Yes Takama the guy who comissioned this Is a bit insane.... hahahahahahahah this sculpt was a fun one to do for ya. The back scales tho.... so tedious!

I like your idea of an old scolosaurus render. Maybe i should make him look a little bit like Ol Rooter from Land before Time

Even though dinosaurs have advanced so much, so many companies still make tail draggers lol. If i saw a figure like this at a store, id have a hard time Not buying it..... :p

And on the sarcasm, yes its hard to convey online or in texts, but no worries TQ i have some of the same problems there as you :s in this case though, takama readied me for it beforehand hahhaa!

I also wanted to make it a museum like collection of models that Invicta could of been.

I'm not sure if I want to have them all to scale or if I just want them to be reletively sized to each other. Every model will look like something that's not been updated for the dinosaur renaissance. And in some cases. I will also only do reconstructions made in the 20th century so no crystal palace iguanodon or Megalosaurus l.

The iguanadon as portrayed in one of my dinosaur storybooks is my fave rendition. Dinosaurs and prehistoric creatures is the book with a triceratops on the cover. Charming stories about different dinosaurs living their lives. Lots of interesting species too.

Im excited to see what you have me make next. Just finishing up a juvenile allosaurus mod right now on an old broken jp figure. Ill post it here when its done before i list it for sale.

How about a classic carnosaurian spinosaurus? make it taller the the T.rex and make seem like the biggest carnivore ever. I toyed with making it a qaudroped but I don't know how supoorted that was in the old days despite old school depictions.

Also big lardy brontosaurus that can barely walk on land.

Both would be fantastic, as Spinosaurus in my mind is still a bit of a short nosed predator compared to todays accurate standards.... lololol

And yeah, fatzz brontosaurus is one of my faves. I love sculpting the fat rolls and the super muscle-y legs n such. I made a really tiny little one like that and sold it on ebay for more that I thought it would get. I guess theres something intrinsically beautiful about the old skool apatosaurus.

I think the next model will be spinosaurus. And it will be walking forwards like it's storming through Tokyo. Yes I want this guy to totally emulate godzilla with his sail. Now I'm wondering if I should base it on the upper estimate of 18 meter or the lower of 15.

You should totally base it off of the skeletal drawing made by Ernst Stromer

This one? Bwaahaha! It looks so funny every time I look at it, I don't know why. Maybe it's the tiny limbs?!? I have other ones you could try too, Archinto:

Got the eyes built for my Big T-Rex today. Glass Iris with super sculpey eye flesh

He's from "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?"

Archinto · October 25, 2016, 08:16:35 PM

Im gonna have to watch that again.... i remember that scene! :p

The red will be hidden from view for the most part by its eyelids. I may tame the red a little and vein them a little better. This was kind of a first coat so I could get them put in and keep working. Going to do the gums and teeth next while I continue to flesh out the body. I'm going to try a trick for strengthening his tail using gauze with the water putty. It'll make it better so it doesn't crack when bumped etc.

Archinto · October 26, 2016, 11:42:53 AM

Did some fleshing to the face and eye sockets. At this point hes got no eyelids, so expect changes lol. A bit less creepy eyes now...
