fossilized6s Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 (edited) I figured this may appeal to a wider variety of people (it doesn't look so scary). I made this guy up, so he may not be anatomically correct, but that's part of the fun! I also decided to give him some primitive "feelers", no suction cups yet. He's a cross between Nautilus and Octopus. This will also go up for auction to help the forum on Monday. I hope you guys like it. I figured all of the Ammonite hunters would want this to hang by their finds. Here's a dollar to show some scale So call me crazy, but i wasn't satisfied with this guy. So i did some touch up. I think making the hard shell bits completely separate in texture then the body was the right move. What do you guys think? I enjoy constructive criticism.

Ramo Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 (edited) That is awesome. Can you provide some scale, so we know how big it is? Oh, I'll start the bid at $20 Ramo Edit : Just saw this doesn't go up until Monday. I guess I'll retract my bid until then!!

rejd Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Another beauty! Does the dollar come with it? A fossil hunter needs sharp eyes and a keen search image, a mental template that subconsciously evaluates everything he sees in his search for telltale clues. -Richard E.

fossilized6s Posted February 15, 2015 Author Share Posted February 15, 2015 (edited) Really?!?! This things amazing. I'd love to see you sketch a trilobite! Yes they're my favorite...lol Thanks Paul! This sketch was more difficult, as i didn't have anything to reference. So everything just came out of my head. Getting the angles and shadows right in the shell was crazy! .....and some angles still aren't right....ugh. haha I was thinking about doing one next. It would be nice to do a really cool one closeup that shows the texture of the eyes.

Pagurus Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 You have such a wonderful eye for perspective and proportion and your technical ability is outstanding. I've always wished for a talent like yours. You did make me go out and buy some drawing pencils yesterday. I can't imagine that I could ever draw as well as you do but I'll have fun with my doodles anyway. Thanks for sharing your awesome talent with the forum. Start the day with a smile and get it over with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'm glad i inspired you to take up the pencil once more. I love working in black and white, partially because I'm severely color blind. Eek! But i couldn't even count the amount of hours, days, weeks or even years I've collectively practiced. People think you're born with talent, but most of it comes with hard work and practice, practice, practice. I should add that I'm no where near the skill level where i want to be. And i am a student of light and textures daily.
