The direct photo reference and some of the background work for a physical project I'm starting, which will be a partial panorama (with some bas-relief) set inside a thrifted marble lightshade, depicting a Tyrannosaurus stalking through a burnt forest and noticing us. More info in alt-text.
Also, some quick fly-by footage of the tilted Blender hemisphere, left-to-right and bottom-to-top, to give an idea of how the final physical piece should appear in the round.
This project has been in the planning stage for a bit now, so it took a little digging to find the work I did for what its face should eventually look like. In the final panorama, this Tyrannosaurus and the foreground will be sculpted in higher relief, and more distant features will be flatter.
