A life sized crochet Sinosauropteryx prima complete with pico-feathering in as scientifically-accurate of a pattern and color as I possibly could. I had to read some literature to get it right but I think this is one of the best projects I've ever made. What do I name her? 2-L 7Up bottle for scale
I've been working on her since September. The entire base was crocheted in this mustard I had a million skeins of. She didn't even use up one
I love her so much she's gonna sit above my TV in the living room for now until we move and I can have a Designated Spot for her <3
Her mouth can open and close and I purposefully put her in a laying-down position so that she can lay on surfaces well. 4 toes on each foot and 3 fingers on each hand :)
here’s a drawing i did as a quick experiment to see if i could make a drawing blend in with an image i took. turns out, yes i can! using the grain tool on a photo editing app really sells it.
i love horror in paleoart, it’s my favorite thing to draw tbh.
here’s the speedpaint (references used in there are from Dino and Dog Sculptures and Gabriel Ugueto!)

(edit: oKAY WOW THANK YOU GUYS! Glad to see fellow Sobek lovers. Also I did not know his name was Sobek but I am so happy to have found out and thus have added his name <3)
Close up at his face, slightly fuzzy. Like a peach <3
I had a longer blurb written but it looked funny so I made it shorter. I really enjoyed painting this piece! I hope you like it too. Now I start the third… school will be school haha
