Re: Dustin's Ultra-Thread: Ankylosaur HP#1: 4/2/11 Thanks, man. Keeping things simple and trying to go for a "classic" dinosaur toy feel. Blue and silver sprays over a light green base. In case anybody's interested, this dude is now available in my little shop (link in signature) and I've also dropped the prices on the vinyl customs there too.
Re: Dustin's Ultra-Thread: Ankylosaur HP#1: 4/2/11 Looking awesome! I didn't even catch that it was for sale. Congrats!
Re: Dustin's Ultra-Thread: Ankylosaur HP#1: 4/2/11 I love your dino. Looking forward to more in the future, maybe I'll have to pick one up
Re: Dustin's Ultra-Thread: Ankylosaur HP#2: 4/6/11 ^Thanks, dudes. Just wrapped up this one and put it in my shop. Was able to pull a bunch of these yesterday. This morning was bath-time.
Re: Dustin's Ultra-Thread: Ankylosaur HP#2: 4/6/11 SOLD OUT! Good for you! Bad for me! I keep missing these beauties.
Re: Dustin's Ultra-Thread: Ankylosaur HP#2: 4/6/11 Wow! That one went fast! Tomorrow's another day of painting so I should be able to put some more up before too long.
Re: Dustin's Ultra-Thread: Ankylosaur HP#3: 4/8/11 Here's another dino I painted up. I really need to force myself to stick to paint app long enough to attempt to do a run but it's tough. Every time I pull one outta the mold I get a new idea and want to see it different colors. This one is another interpretation of my idea of a "classic" dinosaur toy. Hope you like it.
Re: Dustin's Ultra-Thread: Ankylosaur HP#2: 4/6/11 I think this one is my favorite painted version so far..? It shows the original resin color (which I like), and the paint app is simple yet well done IMO. (Not that it was simple to paint.. lol) Although... The other painted ones look amazing as well! I love your color choices and such. I really like the blue one because of the metallic sprays on there, because it's blue (of course lol), and how some of the green color is showing through.. And the full colored green one is really sweet! I love the different shades of green you put on that one and I really like how it is a really great interpretation of the "classic" dinosaur I guess, ultimately, I don't know which one's my favorite. I like all three of the painted ones in different ways. I definitely can't wait to see the other paint apps that you will be coming out with! Keep up the amazing work Dustin!
Re: Dustin's Ultra-Thread: Ankylosaur HP#4: 4/10/11 ^Thanks, Virginia! Here's another one I just wrapped up and put in the shop. Trying to get that unpainted pewter mini thing to happen here. Drybrushing this dude really helps to bring out the texture on him.
Re: Dustin's Ultra-Thread: Yup, More Dinos: 4/13/11 Dino factory has been in full swing lately. Here are some more that I recently finished and put in my shop.
Re: Dustin's Ultra-Thread: Yup, More Dinos: 4/13/11 These are cast and painted so well that you forget that they are resin. Now lets see some t rex!
Re: Dustin's Ultra-Thread: Yup, More Dinos: 4/19/11 Testing out some GID paint. Thinking of doing a small run of glowies... Here's an extra-special one, painted up by Skinner. I gave it to him at Wondercon and he painted it right away. SO exciting to see something I made painted by an artist whose work I love. Thanks to DrilOne for the picture. Also, a little heads up to the people that have purchased from me; everything shipped out yesterday. Lots of boxes. Sorry for being so slow to ship but it's waaaay easier to make one big trip to the post office than a bunch of little ones. I appreciate your support and your patience.
Re: Dustin's Ultra-Thread: Yup, More Dinos: 4/19/11 all these painted versions are incredible. they make me want one and i already have two. though they lack paint. But even without paint they still have a ton of personality and I have named them Koko B Ware & Frankie i took some pictures of my anklyosaurus' on an artfully arranged succulent in my backyard here's one of them You can find the rest of my pics on the subject at the blog Playtime with Dustin Cantrell's Anklyosaurus http://apocalypsepopsicle.blogspot.com/ ... rells.html
Re: Dustin's Ultra-Thread: Yup, More Dinos: 4/24/11 ^Nice pic, uberboy! Love the little nest with the eggs. It's rad to see these dudes out in the wild. Here are a couple more I just finished up.
Re: Dustin's Ultra-Thread: Yup, More Dinos: 4/24/11 These look great Dustin! Your perfect color choices have really brought this sculpt to life for me.
Re: Dustin's Ultra-Thread: Yup, More Dinos: 4/24/11 I like this one the best. The colors work really well together.
Re: Dustin's Ultra-Thread: Yup, More Dinos: 4/24/11 Just got this chompy in the mail today! The colors are much nicer in person. The fades work better, and the colors are more harmonious than the scan shows. Great piece, overall longer & lighter than I expected, love it!
Re: Dustin's Ultra-Thread: Yup, More Dinos: 6/4/11 Trying to wrap this guy up this weekend and ship him out (late) to the upcoming resin show at TAG. Still gotta finish the eyes. Going for a more "realistic" feel with this one.
