Dioramas: Cordylus-style! (New WS Brachiosaurus)

[Tyrannax]

Ah. ;D

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

Two raptors attack a jurassic park worker.



A postosuchus tries to catch and eat two celophysis, but the latter are very agile, and can scale the hill quicker than the bulky postosuchus.



An allosaurus and stegosaurus size each other up before the fight.



Two Velociraptors in the hot gobi desert.

[Tyrannax]

The last one is excellent.

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

It took me almost an hour too.

[Tyrannax]

Well, then no surprise there.

[Tyrannax]

I see two hoove like prints in the mud.

Possibly from a giant Deer Sauropod? ;D

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

Nope. No prints.....

[Tyrannax]

Bottom left in the mud. Take a look. Nice Dio btw. I love the WS Dilophosaurus.

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

Oh yeah! That must be a weird affect of photoshop.... ;D

[Tyrannax]

Probably. In any case, I like it!

Mosasaurs return to the sea after depositing their eggs in the warm salty sand:



Two Corythosaurus run across a mud flat.



Two Giganotosaurus about to fight over territory.



An Allosaurus tries to attack to Stegosaurus Ungulatus.



A Kronosaurus Attacks an Acrocanthosaurus.



A dilophosaurus stands by his pond.



A traveling postosuchus gulps down gallons of water after wandering the dry desert for weeks without a drink.



A pair of Tyrannosaurus slip 'n slide across a large mud flat.

It is unlikely that a Mosasaur could crawl across the land with it heavy weight and small flippers. It wasn't designed for that. Also it's generally excepted that mosasaurs and other marine reptiles had live births. A Plioplatecarpus was found in South Dakota with fetal material. ;D

[Tyrannax]

The Tylosaurus one was interesting. I also love the Kronosaurus one.

Yes, I know. I was trying for a "retro" scene. Notice how I used the old, outdated carnegie mosasaur.


I still like it though.

I like how you will have the toys cut off by the edge of the scene, just a tail sticking into the photo for example- makes it seem more like a snaphot and not a posed photo-

Thanks dinonikes. I try to make them look like animal pictures in magazines like natgeo.

[dinonikes]

Yeah that is a good way to think- its interesting how the French Impressionists learned about cropping subject matter in their paintings from Japanese prints and early photographs- it helps to make a photo or painting or whatever more realistic- more how the eye sees things focussing on the real important thing in a sene and the rest hangs out in the edges-

A liopleurodon chases after an ichthyosaur. You can even see an eel and an octopus.



A small group of paratypothorax look for food.

[tomhet]

The second one looks great
