It has been a fast paced first two weeks of school and here I present all of the work that was completed in that time frame. Our Pteranodon ended up being just as large as we had calculated and he was pretty much the most awesome project ever. Luke and I had no idea how to go about adding paint highlights, but I think we did an okay job and were both super happy with the final product. I'm pretty excited to hang him up and see if we get told to take it down or not. I want to see everyone's reaction when they see this massive creature suspended over them during studio. We had fully intended to name him, but couldn't decide on one, but I think his name is Pteranodonnie, while his nickname is Midnight Rider. Even though Luke and I had both done a project similar to this our Freshman year, I feel like creating a dinosaur presented way more challenges. I liked the fact that every animal, even if it seemed easy to recreate, ended up having its own set of problems that we all had to try to solve. Being able to physically create something makes any project exciting. If anything were to change for next time, I think that being able to model the dinosaur in a computer program would be really cool. Being able to see it in 3D and figure out how the parts fit before even testing it out would add a new, and very helpful, element to this project. We haven't talked about selling him yet, but my apartment is a no go unless my roommate and I never want to use our living room. So I guess until we get forced to remove him, Pteranondonnie gets to live in the stressful environment that is studio.
