Here’s the Cretaceous diorama from Dinosaurs In The Round . When you have to do a cardboard cut-out 3D piece, the computer layering system is quite valuable . Here I tried to put together all the layers as they would have been seen in flattened 2D horizontal position (and that is not counting the enormous amount of layers I had already used in the creation of every figure)… obviously I planned the maquette layer upon layer starting with Triceratops at the front (T. rex next and Edmontosaurus in the far back).
Same with the other two dioramas:
Jurassic (with Pterodactylus, Diplodocus, Allosaurus, Stegosaurus hidden in the forest and a Camarasaurus and Brachiosaurus herd in the far background)
… and Triassic, with Eudimorphodon, Coelophysis, Rutiodon, Placerias and Postosuchus in the background)
… the water here is supposed to be translated in a plastic sheet… the team at Quarto Publishing did a really good job in the presentation of the package. All in all good volcanic vintage fun!
Hi Mr. Rey,
I really like your incrediable artwork, your bold style, and fantastic detail make for a unique style for paleo-art. I even own a few of your prints that I picked up at previous SVP meetings, the collection grows every time I attend a meeting. The new rounds from 3D to 2D are amazing, I like them all, but I’m partial to the Cretaceous diorama of Tyrannosaurus rex attacking the “bruised’ and “broken” Triceratops. I would LOVE to get a print of that, always enjoy your artwork, keep up the fantastic work!
Thanks for the feedback… un fortunately I cannot offer you any prints for the time being, mostly because the real good prints of my artwork are now being managed by Flo Magovern and the Stone Company. If you like you can get in contact and make the request through them. It was the only real way I could offer professional prints of my artwork that will make the pieces some justice… alternatively you can try to get “Dinosaurs In The Round” (I’m sure it is still available) and have the same image 3D in a pop-up book!
