Dinosaur Diorama

I made this Cretaceous diorama using an old shoebox, a printed copy of one of my jungle artworks, some brown modeling clay with green paint applied to the top, various plastic palm trees and plants, and a couple of my old toy dinosaurs.

The Papo dinosaur toy line these figures come from is interesting because they started out with designs faithfully adapting the Jurassic Park style (as you can see in their classic T. rex and Triceratops models), but then moved on to somewhat more accurate depictions of the animals’ anatomy. Still, they’ve always been gorgeous, even if photos of them have long been overused as stock images of dinosaurs.
