Proud to present my lifesize T. rex head, affectionately named Hannibal. I created this myself from start to finish- digital sculpture, 3D printing, painting, etc. Quite a learning curve involved but very pleased with how he turned out.

After the digital sculpt was complete, I cut it into parts to fit my printers. Done in zbrush. The head was split into 12 main parts, which were bolted together. Gaps between parts filled. The cuts were made to follow the outline of the scales to reduce visibility of the seams.

Huge thanks to my friend @arvalis for some instrumental crits and feedback in the sculpting stage. Thanks also to @NazFX_Studios for some really handy tips for casting the eyes

Why do right-wing politicians always try and seem tough when they’re the biggest snowflakes around? Imagine an Aussie being scared of swimming in the ocean 😂 Every Australian knows the risks of sharks and how minimal the chances are. Barbaric Shark nets are genuinely disgusting.

Reckless criminality. Since a spate of horrific fatalities in the 1930’s shark nets have helped protect Sydney‘s beaches. The nets don’t enclose the beach, but they send a message to sharks swim elsewhere. And it’s worked. But now lefty green zealots want to take them away. We should get everyone’s name that is behind removing the nets - and when the first child is eaten, hold these people criminally responsible.

Making a certain dinosaur sculpt at the moment and one thing I think is really helping is I keep telling myself to make it look stinkier. Seems to be working

BEHOLD the GARLIATH!!! This is the LARGEST Alligator Gar I’ve encountered; at over 7 feet 10 inches (240 cm) and approx 55 inches in girth, its weight is estimated at 300 pounds (136 kg)! A true river monster, among the largest caught, tagged and safely RELEASED! #GarWeek
