Dioramas: Cordylus-style! (New WS Brachiosaurus)

[[][][]cordylus[][][]]

New! My first ever photoshop dios!

A male and female Elasmosaurus start the mating dance.


You guys would never guess what happened in the forest near my Grandma's house..... I saw a LIVE, yes, LIVE compsognathus by the pond! For reals!

;D

[Tyrannax]

Your best yet Ct!

or should I call you TP for old times sake? ;D

[[][][]cordylus[][][]]

Thanks Tyrannax! And no more toilet paper thank you very much ;D


Photoshop isn't hard at all.

[Tyrannax]

Another good one!! I really like the Elasmosaurus one though.

Which tool did you decide to use for cropping?

[[][][]cordylus[][][]]

Not cropping... I used the quick selection tool to outline the dinosaur, and then I used the move tool to move it to the other picture. Really easy!

[Tyrannax]

It is! ;D Some of it is at least. ;D

[[][][]cordylus[][][]]

Nope, none of it. I clicked absolutely no crop things at all. ;D

;D Picture one reminds of an old 50's type sci-fi movie. Picture number 2 is good but a little fuzzy. Picture number 3 is real clear and a great picture except for the plant life.

[[][][]cordylus[][][]]

But if it were the fifties, the elasmosaurs would be craning their necks out of the water and biting frilly mosasaurs. ;D

Here are some more:


A liopluerodon swims by a pod of ichthyosaurs


A Kronosaurus catches a large squid, while another Kronosaurus watches hungrily in the background.

[kentrosaur]

I really like the bottom one, it looks like a night scene

[Tyrannax]

Nice.

I doubt those Ichthyosaurus will be "swimming" for long though. ;D

[[][][]cordylus[][][]]

They will be digesting


Although I am not pleased with the kronosaur one-- Look at those huge background pixels! I wonder why that happened.

[Tyrannax]

Its not always an easy business creating dioramas.

Some more 'shopped dios:



A pterosaur flies over my house!



A Postosuchus snaps up a pesky celophysis.



A couple of Psittacosaurs chillin'.



Dimetrodons at the river.



Some Deinonychosaurs attack an Ornithopod.

[[][][]cordylus[][][]]

The first time the carnegie Tylosaurus has been used in a diorama.

[Meso-Cenozoic]

Great job, CT! Just consider better where the light source is coming from and where it would create shadows in some of them. It will make them fit into the scene better.

Question -- What company makes that Celophysis that's being attacked by the Postosuchus? I really like him, as well as the pack of Deinonychus that are attcking the Ornithopod!

That Pterosaur flying above your house is a very cool pic! Can you imagine looking up one day and seeing that? Way cool!!

Thanks for sharing. Keep up the good work!

[[][][]cordylus[][][]]

That's a jurassic park series one celophysis- The crouching version. There is also a standing version, they were both sold on a "blister" card back in '93.

And the raptor is a kaiyodo series three dinotale.

[Tyrannax]

Very nice, but isn't that Postosuchus too small in comparison to the Ceolophysis?

Love the Perosaur picture!
