I really like the color scheme you used for the Einiosaurus! Its colors are pleasantly vivid, and I like the touch of brown on the head.
I actually would prefer photos of your customs over videos, could you post some?

Congratulations! I'm looking forward to see your next works!

Bigger than a camarasaurus,
and with a bite more stronger that the T-Rex bite,
Ticamasaurus is certainly the king of the Jurassic period.

With Balaur feet, dromaeosaurus bite, microraptor wings, and a terrible poison, the Deinoraptor Dromaeonychus is a lethal enemy for the most ferocious hybrid too.

No can do, sorry my friend. Also that is supposed to be black

Btw the next figure is a speculative take on Coelophysis

You might have noticed that most YouTube channels that showcase models, figures, etc., keep the camera stationary and move the model itself, instead of the other way around. There's a good reason for that! It's hard to evaluate your sculpture in this format.

It's impossible to identify something that wasn't sculpted based on a specific taxon. With a little work your amphibian could resemble Konzhukovia. I recommend looking up some references on the animal if you proceed in that direction.

 avatar_Halichoeres @Halichoeres  thank you for this info. I will look up this creature and also will try your tips. Do you mind if you can indentify more gnathostomes  sculpts in the future, as it seems like you are the expert on the forum(along with a few others such as the Admin)

P.S. Sorry for such a late reply

Halichoeres

No need to be sorry, I'm pretty late with my replies these days myself. I appreciate the kind words, but I want to stress that it's better to start with reference materials for a specific taxon you want to make than to make something sort of animal-shaped and then shoehorn it into a close-enough genus. Look up descriptions, take measurements, plan it out. If you run into the problem of not being able to access some article, I'm happy to help you find a pdf if I can.

Thanks, avatar_Halichoeres @Halichoeres . Coincedentally i already ran in a pickle(Man, they taste good) with my coelophysid sculpt.



I wanted my sculpture to be thick and muscular, unlike most depictions which are very skinny , but im wondering if that would not be scientifaccaly accuarte.


I think that is possible, becuase this picture of two members of the same species, almost identical skeleton, but one is much more fat

With the difference that Animals in Nature just do Stuff, thats good for them. They move all day and don't eat Junk Food ot Bingewatch entire Series or sit the whole Day in the Office :D
And Animals, that sleep most of the Time have an metabolism and diet that fits their needs. But yes, i see your Point in reconstructions, which are really skinny or too skinny. Depends on the Animal.

avatar_Kapitaenosavrvs @Kapitaenosavrvs  you know how you said, "they do stuff thats good for them" so how likely is a muscular coelophysis

I have 2 Questions:

1. Are there ways to clone a figure
2. Are there ways to make a figure bigger

Please let me know

1. You can make a silicone mold and inject resin:

2. No idea. Only Chinese knock off factories know that secret.

Our fellow avatar_Kayakasaurus @Kayakasaurus has some really nice Videos on his Youtube Channel, when it comes to creating Molds for Dinosaur Figures.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O0raRhCfrYY&t=536s

To Nr. 2: I guess you need to scan the Molds or the Figures and then Work with it on the PC. Another, more "simple" Technique would be measuring, creating some kind of templates and resculpting the Figure or the Mold. But i guess, thats not really "more simple".

But Nr. 2 is just an Idea, not a real Answer.

Heres Something i dit not know. Maybe it helps.

Love that other people are recommending Crafsman's channel. One of the best on YouTube in my opinion.
