May 28 - Dome Head Triceratops

"triassic thunder
echoes through fire storm and rain
triceratops falls"

~ Rick Parise

The difference between a balloon technique and a balloon recipe is whether or not you can use it as a launching point to make something else.  It doesn't have to make everything, it doesn't even have to make most things.

So the Geo Dome technique by the Balloon Brothers I think works well to create a creature a quick large sized head and could easily be a go-to for some designs if you like to go big.   The eyes are well placed, the slope of the head works well, it's sturdy creation - not overly complicated, you could prepare early.

Here was my attempt at a Triceratops.  I tried a few different ideas for the bony frill, kind of pleased with the 321 solution which sat the best around the neck.  The outdoor pictures ended up being mostly out of focus, and I had to wrestle that horn to get it straight - but unfortunately straight and in-focus didn't intersect anywhere.
