Dinosaur Head - 3Color Hueforge (Titans)

This model is a Hueforge tribute to Cabeça Dinossauro, the third studio album by Titãs, released in 1986 and considered one of the cornerstones of Brazilian rock. It marks the band’s turn toward a more raw, aggressive sound, produced by Liminha, and became their first gold record.Wikipédia+1
 

Recorded in the early years of Brazil’s redemocratization, the album channels the chaos of the time into short, direct and confrontational songs. Tracks like “Polícia”, “Igreja”, “Família”, “Estado Violência” and “Bichos Escrotos” fire criticism in all directions – State, Church, traditional family values and everyday hypocrisy – to the point that “Bichos Escrotos” was even censored on radio and TV for years. It’s a record that still feels like a punch in the face of complacency, and it helped define the sound and attitude of Brazilian rock in the 80s.
 

Visually, this piece is a 200 × 200 mm Hueforge panel inspired by the iconic screaming head cover (originally based on a Leonardo da Vinci sketch), reinterpreted in a WBB palette (Black, Brown, White). The idea is to keep the look stark and tense: deep blacks, a dirty brown accent, and a pale white to push the contrasts, like a worn poster that’s survived decades of shows, protests and teenage bedroom walls. This is fan art, not official merchandise.
 

This is part of my little Brazilian rock Hueforge series, and one of my early experiments with this technique, so I’d really appreciate feedback, criticism and suggestions – about the design, color choice, swap plan or anything you think could be improved. If you resize it in your slicer, just try not to scale on the Z axis, so the light behavior and Hueforge effect stay consistent. If you print, remix or tweak it, please share pics – I’d love to see your version! :)
