January 15 - Loopy Dinoz

"The world was much more interesting when there were dinosaurs around."

~ Stephen Hawking

Dave Brenn showcased a Loopy Heads dinosaur in his video, sharing insightful tips to refine the design. One thing I noticed after building - the front tusk of a triceratops shouldn’t be too large as it tends to dominate the focus and and make it look cross-eyed.

Dinosaurs shapes rely heavily on paleontologists’ interpretations of what they believe the assembled bones look like, even though they could be practically anything and any color, they are a bit difficult to portray without the extra features a body allows you to show.  

To keep things simple, I opted for a Baby Bop-inspired approach.

As for Barney, it was an experiment in building without cheeks. While an interesting attempt, I don’t think the cheekless design adds much here.
