I wanted to make a low polygon dinosaur skull but I was not sure for the color scheme. One weekend, I got bored and created a dragon egg, like the example below, and decided to relate the dinosaur skull with the egg through color scheme and differ through the shapes used.

| Not the actual egg I created, but similar. |
Technique:
I got the dinosaur skull from the 3D database in the 3D Studio and lowered the polygon count in Rhino to create a low polygon shape. After getting it to a good polygon count, I uploaded it to Pepakura and sliced the figure to print out in cardstock. When the model was printed and assembled, I painted the entire outer layer blue and picked random polygons to paint in the nail polish, making sure that it wasn't concentrated on one area more than others.

Materials:
The materials I used were cardstock, acrylic paint, nail polish with a similar shade of blue and a few layers of Krylon Glitter Blast Clear Sealer. And the egg was made using styrofoam and thumb tacks painted with nail polish.
