Giant Alligator + Steamboat Diorama | Epoxy Resin Art

[@Dead25m]

I really love that you made the alligator albino rather than green, other than being far more visible, I think the albino version also looks more monster-like, unnatural if you will, adding another layer of horror/mystery on it :)

[@darthkek1953]

It looks like it is being lit (for obvious artistic reasons of visibility) rather than it being white. Bright lights make things look lighter! Surprise! I think that's what this looks like.

[@shadowwriter329]

Oh yeah, it only adds to the effect. A gator that big is considered a monster no doubt, but make it seem like a ghost in the water, then you got yourself a legend. one that makes people second guess themselves: "that can't be real...can it?"

I'm from Louisiana & when I was 6 years old we went to New Orleans. We went down to Mississippi Riverfront & I went down the stairs to get closer to water since I didn't know any better that this river was way more dangerous than the little Ouachita River I swam in every weekend it wasn't cold. A ship passed & I didn't think anything of it until the wave splashed up thru the stairs & nearly swept me into river. My parents just laughed & told me to get up from holding onto the stair plank with white knuckles. I thought I was gonna get swept up & eaten by HUGE alligator!

I'm watching your videos, nice ones. It's interesting that you explain pretty much what you are using for the materials. I guess I will watch all of them since I'm keeping an eye on a 6 hours tempering phase right now. The resin for the water is an investment truly. I'm using some epoxy sometimes for swords or knives wooden handles that would not get too much UV exposure, it sure is as beauty as expensive. Sometimes I do make some basic not so basic models and animate them, just to get a branch of knowledge with 3d modeling and graphic engines, your alligator is exquisite, the fact that at first looks a bit skinny makes a lot of sense once it's put into the water. Maybe it's wanted, maybe not (bug to feature classic), but nevertheless it's a fine detail which I would never have thought.

Looks awesome man! I love the water so much. I grew up swimming waters just like that in Baysprings Lake in Mississippi . Thankfully I've not seen any gators, let alone any that big. I was swimming across the lake one time when I was in my early teens. I paused halfway across to catch my breath and recuperate for a second. I felt a smooth brush of something against the inside both my ankles and looked down into the water just in time to see the tail end of a gar. Its tail fin bottom to top had to be about 10". As it rocketed down into the murky green depths its tail smacked my foot. You best believe I swam as hard as I could the rest of the way across the lake. The old fishermen would tell me stories about how when they dredged the lake in the 60s "They pulled up turtle shells the size of Volkswagens (beetles)" Those same fishermen would set catch boxes just 20' off the shoreline and pull up catfish 5 and 7 foot long all day, sometimes even longer. Another quick story and Ill stop. Me and my brother were bass fishing on the same stretch of water and caught a nice looking 3 or 4 pound bass. We were so proud, one of the fishermen came up and said "yall think thats big, check this out!" In the bottom of his flat bottom he had a 9' catfish.
