Tyrannosaurus | Part 6 – Plants: Cycads (cycadophyta)

For the cycads I used laser-cut leaves from Fredericus rex and made the stems from scratch using a dense urethane foam and a carving knife.

Painting

Painting was mostly done by airbrush using Tamiya acrylic. I started with a dark green color and gradually added yellow to the mixture towards the tips of the leaves. Some tips received a tan color to immitate dried leaves. Smaller details were painted by brush.
