Quetzalcoatlus Skybax (pteradactyl) and Dimorphodon creature design from the Dinotopia book series by writer and illustrator extraordinaire, James Gurney.
Portrait Detail
Bag and Glove Detail. Skybax riders are part aviator, part acrobat, part world messenger, and their attire reflects this. Master Pilots wear blue and gold. This costume is my own whimsical design, inspired by Dinotopia fashion, with a touch of steampunk.
Boots Detail
Sculpt only
In most of Earhart's piloting photos, she appears unconcerned with convention, and wholly in her element as an aviatrix and adventurer. I aimed to capture this spirit in this work.
Based on Amelia Earhart. Inspired by the world of Dinotopia, by James Gurney.
