Galloping Boar Croc

Did some more work spiffing up the Kaprosuchus from earlier. Also decided to put him in a much more active pose, in this case a gallop not unlike what is observed in some modern crocodilians. Posing went much more smoothly this time with no unsightly projections to be had, even if the process is still as tedious as ever.

Fun with Signs

These are a few warning signs I produced. The first one was the 'Don't Feed The Animals' sign at the top, and then people enjoyed them so much that it didn't take long for me to crank out more. I originally took inspiration from the signs at zoos and stuff which say the same thing, and wanted to put my own spin on it in a unique and comical way. It was also really enjoyable to experiment with the very graphic, vectorized style used as I've never really done that sort of thing before. They are actually super fun to make though, so if anyone has ideas for more please do drop me a comment!

Kaprosuchus Sculpt WIP

Most recent project. Had a lot of fun with this one. Not only is Kaprosuchus just such a cool-looking animal, but it also meant I got to spend a nice chunk of time looking at croc anatomy and how it looks externally. Really happy with the result. Still some more work to do on this big guy, so this almost certainly isn't the last we'll see of him.
Posing was achieved through the aid of masks (since there aren't exactly a ton of ways to pose things in Sculptris), which in fact turns out to be a very long and tedious process (for Sculptris, at least) that yields less-than-ideal results (indeed, I cleverly angled the camera here so as to hide the messiest bits).

A few sketches

These were all done at the fabulous American Museum of Natural History during a visit there. The top two took around 10 minutes each. The allosaur took around 20 if I recall correctly--besides I wanted to take some additional time with it to make it look a little nicer, it had the additional challenge of the fact that the specimen it was based on (apparently a cast of AMNH 666) evidently had relatively substantial portions reconstructed, so I had to try and take this into account on the fly.
