I came across Zhao Chuang this morning - the man who builds dinosaurs and sells them for a living. I thought that building Marmaduke was a big project, but this guy has to be the king of dinosaur builders. He and his team push out a dinosaur model a month, which is an amazing rate of production. And the attention to detail is quite phenomenal. He originally started out as a paleoartist and illustrated the front cover of Nature, one of the leading scientific journals on Earth, so he draws on those painting and drawing skills when building his 3D creations. Watch the short video here.
