Description SAMSON! The big, fluffy Spinosaurus!

HE'S ALIVE!!

If velociraptor had feathers, I have FUR!

I never did something like this before. The only sculpture I've ever made that wasn't out of clay and broken within 30 seconds was a very tiny spinosaurus when I was about ten years old.

This "little" fella (yes, he's about eight times smaller than the real spinosaurs were) is 220cm long, the sail height is 118cm, head height about 100cm (not sure) and his chest and shoulders are 27.5cm wide.

My last school project. Everyone was out somewhere doing something elsewhere and I just sat in the cellar, working like a donkey.

I painted him with spray paint, a blue one and a marmor effect paint for the belly. The black stripes were made with a glossy black spray, the same that I used for the claws which are made of artificial clay just as the teeth. The eyes are removable so I can place them the way I want. They glow in the dark! Tna also the body has some glowing paintings. For example a thick mark on both sides of the head right underneath the eyes, some spots on his sail and his neck and some stripes on his arms and tail. the legs got less glowing paint. But he looks so terrific when seen in the twilight!

My mother had the Idea with the grass. I didn't want to give him talons cause they would probably only break off. He's standing in my room now, my little blue guardian.

Well I hope you like him! If you want to pet him, you better feed him some fish first

HE'S ALIVE! I'M SO EXCITED!

Samson and the sculpture itself are (c) me!

we all need a big ass dinosaur in our houses! This is nuts. I love what you've done with it. Nice spray painting there! The fur adds a nice touch I think and glow in the dark teeth?! That's so epic!

Thank you very much! What kind of dinosaur would you want to have guarding your window?

His teeth don't glow, it's only his eyes and some markings on his face and body though I could still spraypaint them with the UV-spray

Thanks for your comment, I really appreciate that

Aww thank you so much for your appreciation! it took me a total of two weeks to finish him. I started off in my spring vacations, cutting the body shapes out of cardboard, which I used to stabilize the whole creature and its limbs, I also already started building a rough three-dimensional body shape by building his ribcage and hips along with the bones in the back sail. That took me about a week. About a month later, I started with the big works like building his muscles out of newspapers, building the limbs and glueing the claws, attaching the limbs to the body and everything. ^^ I finished him in the same week. The last day was the hardest part cause we spent almost ten hours (my mom came to help me) in my school on a SATURDAY X_X

But I love him so much, my little blue guardian ^^ and I'm so glad that you like him!

ZOMG! I WANT ONE IN MY APT!! He's gorgeous! you did a super awsome job on him, I wish I was that talented in sculpting-type art! I'd put him at the front window ta scare away the survey people!

Sashiryuu In reply to T-h-a-e-r [2011-06-23 20:26:57 +0000 UTC]

Woah! I'm glad you like him! ^^ I'm pretty happy although, due to the short amount of time they gave me (I had to present it later in school), I couldn't shape him as well as I wanted it. For example the tail is all bumpy and the thighs look like there's some muscle missing. And I wanted the head to be broader, but well. ^^ I'm not talented in sculpting at all, so you can imagine how happy I am with him xD

Thank you alot for the consideration

you gotta try it some day ^^ honestly, I'm not a pretty good sculpter, this dino was a little bit easier cause he's really big and the materials were easier to manage than clay or whatever... I can't work with clay.

ErelonHart In reply to Sashiryuu [2011-05-21 01:06:26 +0000 UTC]

hehehe, yeah, I can see that making it easier... heh, and clay is the only molding material I really love working with XD ... I've never done anything this big though... I've only got 2 small dragon busts at my home, that I've made <.< ... and when I say "small"... well, they're about 3 inches tall lol

dragon busts made of clay? that's exactly what I've been killing myself with in the past few years xD can I see them?

Well, read the descriptions, I guess I've written pretty much about how I've made this creature... If you still have a question, just ask

Also vor dem habe ich sicherlich schon mal keine Angst. Aber so ein großes Wesen würde bei mir in der kleinen Wohnung die ich nur habe nicht rein passen.

Sieht sehr schön aus. Gut gemacht.
