MithosKuu Posted June 18, 2016 Author Share Posted June 18, 2016 The skull should be done now, unless there any anatomical issues to fix I'm off to the jaw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MithosKuu Posted June 23, 2016 Author Share Posted June 23, 2016 Working on the jaw, front half should be done, back half is very much a work in progress 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welsh Wizard Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Absolutely fantastic. You're very talented. It's amazing how much the front end view of the skull looks like a bird. Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan from PA Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 It looks fantastic! These must have been vicious with the mouth full of recurved teeth! The center picture in the top row looks like it is staring you down with those big eyes, and just gives me chills! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MithosKuu Posted June 30, 2016 Author Share Posted June 30, 2016 I've done some work on the Gastralia In addition, I'm trying my hand at making a meatsuit for the skeleton, though it is super rough right now and I haven't added any geometry for the eyes yet, and I have no idea how the mouth is actually supposed to connect.

MithosKuu Posted July 8, 2016 Author Share Posted July 8, 2016 So I started work on the tail Then someone sent me a different skeletal drawing with a better look at the tail, my main reference art has been from Gregory S Paul, this new one is by Scott Hartman, and, well... There are a lot of differences, my mesh is pretty much 1:1 with the GSP skeletal in the princeton field guide 2010 edition, its tail appears to be 62 cm longer than Scott's, and is overall thiner, the hip assembly is different, and the abdominal girdle is wildly different and more svelt. Here is a comparison between the hips; GSP is red, Scott Hartman is blue. I'm honestly not sure if I should stick with the GSP skeletal or rework everything to fit with the Scott Hartman skeletal.

LordTrilobite Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Gregory S Paul's art is of a high standard. but some it is quite dated by now. Scott Hartman's art is also really good but generally more up to date. He also frequently updates his old skeletals. So I would guess that Hartman's skeletal would be the more accurate one.

I'm thinking I'm going to keep using GSP, then duplicate it and modify it to match Scott's skeletal. Started work on the tail, those caudal rods are obscene And, naturally, long straight bones don't exactly gel with the gentle curve of the reference art's tail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MithosKuu Posted July 11, 2016 Author Share Posted July 11, 2016 The caudal rods just extend to oblivion. There is no beginning or end, there is only caudal rod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MithosKuu Posted July 16, 2016 Author Share Posted July 16, 2016 Reworked the chest plate a bit, should be more accurate now I've also copied out the tail vertebra for kicks, the end tail extension should be about the final length of the tail Looking at it, I think my pubic boot is a little thick, I'll narrow it up at some point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MithosKuu Posted July 19, 2016 Author Share Posted July 19, 2016 PLEASE 3d print this!!!!!!! This is so cool The plan will be to make it printable at full scale, though likely in multiple parts I also just realized I made a mistake with my tail, the vetebral noodles should be extending forward towards the hips, not backward, I'll work on that tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Looking real good, with some hands and feet should be all set for a hunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
