Boki's Adventure in Sculpting:The Conclusion! (2/26/22)

[Shonisaurus]

They look like current fish. They remind me of coral reef fish.

[ceratopsian]

I too thought of a tropical reef. And I thought a little too of the little brightly coloured glass fish ornaments my mother had when I was a small child.

[SBell]

Fantastic work as always. More figures should be made with crazy fun colours!

It at least can work for fish I suppose

[Libraraptor]

Fancy colored fish!

[Faelrin]

Those are some wonderful sculpts there. Great work with them. That also reminds me of how I wish a company would make a figure of Falcatus already.

[Halichoeres]

I love them! Iniopterygians and petalodonts are just terrifically weird, and you've done a great job highlighting their distinctiveness.

[Bokisaurus]

Wow, it's been 3 years since the project ended and still not finished posting everything I finished!
Last update was 7 month ago back in September of last year. So, before more of my sculpt find new homes or discarded (mostly the early stuff), I need to really try and finish the posting. Down to the last few groups: Ceratopsians, Marine reptiles, and a few mammals.
Let's start with the ceratopsians.
These group was the last ones s sculpted for the ceratopsian series, I think I sculpted a total of 8 different genus.
For these last ones, I have taken the feedback regarding bulk as well as scales and textures that some have suggested. As always, bold colors is a must!

Styracosaurus - the frill ended up more flat due to not having enough support during the firing process. Sculpted back in the summer of 2018

Spinops - Before PNSO released a nice big one I'm thinking of getting a second PNSO figure to repaint with this colors

Centrosaurus - [/url

Spiclypeus -

It's been fun sculpting the ceratopsians and they make up the bulk of the dinosaurs I sculpted. There you have it
Next time, I will try and post the last of the Marine Reptiles, thanks for checking, cheers!

[Dusty Wren]

It's good to see more sculptures from you, Boki! I love that Spiclypeus, especially the head sculpt.

You said that it's been three years since this project ended. Have you done any sculpting since then?

Thanks @Dusty Wren 😃 I haven't really sculpted since then, although I did sculpt some extant fish.
There are a few more smaller prehistoric fishes I did in January of 2019 that still needs to be finished 🤣

Maybe one day when I get inspired again I will try to sculpt again.😃

[Dusty Wren]

I hope you do! I used to sculpt, but I haven't done it in a long time. Seeing all your work has been inspiring me to give it a try again.

I'm also finding this inspirational.

I especially love your paintwork, Boki--go bold or go home!

[Patrx]

These are so cool! I think my favorite is the Spinops. It subtly reminds me of Christopher DiPiazza's Styracosaurus, with the arrangement of the colors inverted.

[Kapitaenosavrvs]

Your Sculpts look so adorable. Especially the fish I reall ylike them and maybe someday you'll find yourself sculpting again. Your are handling stuff better than i am, i would say :-D I wait and wait and think about how i will fail, rather than just sculpt and sculpt and sculpt like you did. Same goes for Repaints/Paints.

Your Style is clearly unique and thanks fr sharing all your Stuff again.

[Shonisaurus]

Boki, why don't you dare to make your own line of prehistoric animals? You have a very good talent, they would surely buy your figures even if they were made of resin.


My congratulations totally charming figures although I like more conservative colors, sincerely figures to be taken into account from the point of view of paleoart.

[Bokisaurus]

Thanks everyone for all of your kind words
If my schedule wasn't too crazy, I think I would have taken it up again. The last time I sculpted was in early 2019 when I used my my leftover sculpey and made a series of extant fish based not he River Monster show http://animaltoyforum.com/index.php?topic=2649.0
I also did some reef fishes from mostly Jurassic and Cretaceous but never got around to finish painting them! I'm hoping to get them painted sometime this year.

Oh! They look great! Arapaima looks really good, but my favourite of the Group is the Pacu. I had Aquariums for years and the Pacu was always something really interesting. Far too big for me and moreover i did't want such big bois in a Tank. They do not belong there. Without Plants, and oh wait. I thought of an Oscar, Astronotus ocellatus. Oops. Nevermind. Pacus are still great. The calmer Piranhas : D

[Gecko08]

Can I commission these and what material are they made of? The ones I want are the Echinochimaera, Falcatus, Cobelodus, Iniopteryx, and Belanstea.

[Bokisaurus]

Almost a year since my last update! And 4 years since the start of the project, wow, times does go fast!
Well, I figured its now or never, so I have rounded up as much as I can to finally do the long awaited conclusion to this project that started way back in 2018 and need around 2019.
I never did sculpt again after the majority were finished fall of 2019 especially the prehistoric animals. It was a fun project and I learned a lot not just my own skills and limitations, but also appreciated just how much it takes just to produce and complete a single figure!

Most of the figures have now either found new homes with just a few remaining out on display. I also made the decision to discard those that were really bad and just keep the ones I felt good about.
So, here they are the final batch of my sculpt

Mammals and a lone pterosaur - there were more than I thought.
[]

Marine reptiles - I really like how these group turned out so they are out on display with my other non-PVC models

Well, that's the conclusion of this project! For all of you who followed from the start, thanks you all for your encouragements, support, as well as feedbacks; they were all instrumental in finishing this adventure. I hope that you all had fun as much as I did. Take care, cheers!
Boki

[SBell]

Those all look great!

I'm grateful to have your Bawitius and lungfish in my collection now! If you're ever planning to do more there's a few I still need! 

[Dusty Wren]

It's great to see another batch of sculptures from you. Can't believe it's been 4 years since you started this adventure.

These are all awesome, but I love the Tetrameryx and Synthetoceras especially. Is the lean-looking cat in the first photo Miracinonyx?
