Painting Aquilops with Silly Putty

[@gandalf2447]

How Kayakasaurus isn’t getting commissions for museums is total mystery to me. These models are so lifelike, and he’d make absolutely jaw dropping exhibits for museums.

[@bird_b0nezz]

or just some rich guy wanting a cool art piece, if i had the money i would definitely pay thousands for one of these pieces

[@victzegopterix2]

Maybe lack of money?

[@gandalf2447]

@ a museum would lack money to pay him?

[@xenoraptor4714]

Would love too see you bring all the life size models you have created all together and let them sit in a forest-y area

Hi Clayton, it‘s me, Simon. I sincerely thank you very much for all the effort you put into this video and of course for the support you gave me over the past couple of weeks on instagram. Collaborating with you was an absolute blast! It was so rewarding to see my Aquilops coming to life in this video. Beautiful paint job by the way! You are such a talented and creative person! I wish you the very best and hope your channel will grow even more successful. You absolutely deserve it! Greetings from Germany 😄

[@armata_strigoi_0]

Congratulations on creating such a life-like sculpt, you clearly have a good understanding of anatomy and form.

[@kentang2426]

Your sculpting was very good and lifelike, it was an excellent collaboration, and hopefully just the first of them. If I might suggest, perhaps an archaeopteryx would be appropriate? It was discovered in Germany if I remember correctly.

[@Fed.E]

Nice sculpt Simon!

[@ghoultooth]

You created a gorgeous sculpt, I hope we see more on this channel :)

[@lixore]

I was so nervous you weren't going to sculpt the eyelids back in, but I should never have doubted you! Great job as always. Paintjob looks stellar here

[@majorcheirus77]

Phenomenal job on this one. The putty removal and stripe reveal was absolutely satisfying!!!!!

[@spino4247]

True

[@m1sty033]

Hello Sir Deinocheirus!

[@Freeflier]

I think it makes more sense for a lizard, whose tail grows back, to have bright colors drawing attention to the tail. And sooo many people draw dinosaurs based on blue skinks. But, I suppose everyone should do at least one lol. All that aside, the technique and color are striking. Love how you got the eyes in the beginning. Good job!

[@ghoultooth]

I think a good opposition to this are crested geckos. They permanently lose their tails yet they are coloured differently, nature is weird and wonderful

[@Indoraptoad]

I suppose the same bright colors on a dinosaur could be used to attract mates.

[@jpettltd]

For all we know. Some dinosaurs maybe could grow back there tails. Probably not but you never know.

[@parakeorex]

@@jpettltd not

[@catpoke9557]

@@jpettltd We'd probably find evidence of tail regrowth on those dinosaurs assuming we recovered tail fossils of dinos with previously dropped tails

[@ItsEnderDiego]

I love how you painted some extra scales by hand to make it so the stripe isnt to perfect, it add to the realism

[@lyrictheoregonjunco2511]

I love how you actually took inspiration from modern-day lizards and amphibians for the colors

[@mimuseitodehistorianatural4426]

[@garyoverman4393]

I read the title about “painting “ with silly putty and thought you were crazy 😊 Then I realized that is really “ masking with silly putty” and realized how ingenious it was 🧠. Great job and thanks sharing this wonderful technique and material.

[@gerbilnoa2877]

Сложно поверить, что можно получить такую реалистичность окраса и анатомичность. Мало просто старательно трудиться в скульптуре для такого результата, нужно быть действительно большим фанатом динозавров💛💚💚🦖✨

[@gojirazillasaurus6341]

Ikr he did so good!!! :)

[@Jimmylasantos]

I don’t speak that language so can someone clarify for me

[@kerkaaa]

Translation: It's hard to believe that you can get such a realistic color and anatomy. It's not enough just to work hard in sculpture for such a result, you need to be a really big fan of dinosaurs💛💚💚🦖✨

[@Hiznogood]

Stumbled on your channel and now I’m hooked! Used to paint tabletop figurines for the board games we played, because they looked so boring in their original state. Then we got kids and I put that hobby on hold, but now when the kids have left the nest, the urge has come back. I love your format, the editing is as good as your painting skills, you got yourself a new follower! I might even take up painting again, even that my eyes might need some magnifying help.

[@ajc7295]

I love the editing in your videos, it injects so much personality 😄

[@flowvector9505]

This model really is my favorite from all your other works, because me and my brother used to go outside and catch the blue tail skinks as kids all the time, ah the years were much kinder then.

[@fanapix]

[@darrelldog5]

Those eyes make all the difference in the world! The paint also helps too.... Hahaha... Lol.

[@Lessmedborgare]

Another amazingly painted model. The inclusion of the clear eyes really makes the animal come to life. Now I hope you accept some critique as well!? The mounding seams particularly on the upper head as well as the joinlines especially between the tail parts are too visible and had needed a bit more work. I think you agree! Other than that it is another great creation. I really like the life-size models and I hope you do more of those. Kit or scratch built.

[@Kayakasaurus]

Yeah there was some flash on the beak I missed before painting 🤦‍♂️😄 the reason I didn’t build up more putty on the tail is because then I would have to sculpt scales and that would be more noticeable.

[@wilmoney4619]

The head looks amazing. The body looks like a cartoon
