more amazing dios

#1 Post by deviant-boo »

Had some time to kill today, so was looking at some dios and came across these amazing pieces. If they've been posted before, my apologies, but I am in awe of these.

By Ichiyo Haga.

Seeing these just makes me want to put down my glue, paint and kits go to the corner and just bang my head on the wall…

This is really museum quality work and this gentleman has some incredible skills along with an eye for detail and an insane amount of patience. I
only wish I could produce work of this level.

Consider me totally blown away! :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:

Those are just insanely good. :shock:

Until I saw the room behind the diorama in the 5th photo and the figures in the last set, I would've sworn those were photos of actual buildings.

Serious museum quality stuff.

I was wondering why you were showing us photos of shops. I thought that maybe they were inspiration.

Then I saw the one on the bench :shock: Simply amazing. I wonder how long it takes to create something like this? And how on earth does he go about making something so darned small :?

It hurts my head to even think about how long it would take to complete those scenes from start to finish. That kind of patience I definitely don't have, never mind the talent! :shock:
