Hi everyone!, these are some pictures of the Protoceratops sculpture I just finished yesterday. This is my first sculpture ever, and it took me nearly 2 months to make it.

I've always wanted to sculpt, but for some reason I always thought that I sucked at sculpting and had pretty much given up to the whole idea. But near the end of last year though, my roommate brought an awesome book from the library..."The Making of Jurassic Park", and he showed me another book he had; "The Winston Effect", which was all about Stan Winston's Studio (they created the dinos for all the Jurassic Park movies, the Terminator, Predator and many other characters). After reading about Stan Winston and looking at his amazing work, I started to watch some of the movies he had worked on but that I had never seen before (such as Aliens). Honestly, I had never been so immersed in anyone's work since I was a kid, and I decided that since sculpture was one of the big things at Stan's studio, it was just something too awesome not to try.

During these two months of sculpting, I kept reading Stan Winston's book again and again, and used it as reference and source of inspiration.

One day when I was sculpting, I took a break and read sad news; Stan Winston had died, peacefully, at his home in California. All along I was hoping that I could meet him some day, because I admired him so much.

So I wish to dedicate my first sculpture to the memory of Stan Winston. Rest In Peace and thank you for the inspiration.

Great detail, mate.

Love doesn't lead to the dark side. Passion can lead to rage and fear, and can be controlled, but passion is not the same as love. Controlling your passions while being in love, that's what they should teach you to beware, but love itself will save you
wow it's amazing! Fantastic detail, such a great little character!
What did you sculpt it with, may I ask?

There's only us, There's only this, Forget regret, Or life is yours to miss, No other road, No other way, No day but today.

Thanks! I sculpted it with "Super Sculpey", and the structure underneath is made of copper wire and aluminum foil)
