My sculpture (2009) includes a speculative feathery coat, a brightly colored throat wattle, and a variety of fresh and healing scars. This head was built for the Lake County Discovery Musuem in Wauconda, Illinois. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/544a8422e4b08fa6e30a5a93/1414179541986-FFFHQKHNKI7LNJZRIT42/Eodromaeus.jpg Flesh models https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/544a8422e4b08fa6e30a5a93/1414263636023-V86OK3SP1VNRFZ7KJAES/Tiktaalik.jpg Flesh models https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/544a8422e4b08fa6e30a5a93/1414263848668-772TCRSUSRCHS6WXLS0E/DSC06149.JPG Flesh models https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/544a8422e4b08fa6e30a5a93/1414264273597-YUHA9GCL6XAD4SMWMQ7S/DSC08570.JPG Flesh models https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/544a8422e4b08fa6e30a5a93/1414267244358-B0UUYPLNN20848JLE55V/Antarctosuchus+vertical+head.jpg Flesh models https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/544a8422e4b08fa6e30a5a93/1414335338965-NJGPZW1T5XYLCNC5GBGE/DSC00532.JPG Flesh models https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/544a8422e4b08fa6e30a5a93/1414335519806-RDPVNQ3TKZAXTSM4SCJN/sc002f700702.jpg Flesh models https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/544a8422e4b08fa6e30a5a93/1414335601782-3XC1YJYCP9AC3N0BE18H/DSC06090.JPG Flesh models https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/544a8422e4b08fa6e30a5a93/1414335967060-M18R9VJV5R6QHG7YZRGY/0282+left+Rugops.jpg Flesh models http://www.tylerkeillor.com/blog daily 0.75 2016-04-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/544a8422e4b08fa6e30a5a93/1414271718674-JMQZLDQW5JGJQAE6Q7Z9/DSC02024.JPG Blog http://www.tylerkeillor.com/blog/2016/4/21/science-museum-of-minnesota-event-4-23-16 monthly 0.5 2016-04-22 http://www.tylerkeillor.com/blog/2015/11/18/kenosha-public-museum-dino-talk monthly 0.5 2015-11-19 http://www.tylerkeillor.com/blog/2015/3/15/digital-art-in-paleontology-online-webinar monthly 0.5 2015-03-21 http://www.tylerkeillor.com/blog/2014/11/9/nova-spinosaurus-film monthly 0.5 2014-11-09 http://www.tylerkeillor.com/blog/2014/11/5/spinosaurus-documentary-premiers-tonight monthly 0.5 2014-11-06 http://www.tylerkeillor.com/blog/2014/11/5/lt8xhlc8j3kku67uchr74tftsf1dlq monthly 0.5 2014-11-06 http://www.tylerkeillor.com/blog/2014/11/4/interview-on-wbez-915-fm-chicago-public-radio monthly 0.5 2014-11-04 http://www.tylerkeillor.com/blog/2014/10/25/new-website monthly 0.5 2014-11-04 http://www.tylerkeillor.com/blog/tag/paleoart monthly 0.5 http://www.tylerkeillor.com/blog/tag/presentation monthly 0.5 http://www.tylerkeillor.com/blog/tag/UArtsy monthly 0.5 http://www.tylerkeillor.com/blog/tag/Archaeopteryx monthly 0.5 http://www.tylerkeillor.com/blog/tag/Tyler+Keillor monthly 0.5 http://www.tylerkeillor.com/blog/tag/ZBrush monthly 0.5 http://www.tylerkeillor.com/blog/tag/November+27 monthly 0.5 http://www.tylerkeillor.com/blog/tag/Kenosha monthly 0.5 http://www.tylerkeillor.com/digital-models daily 0.75 2014-10-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/544a8422e4b08fa6e30a5a93/1414338456223-3UAGKXBTCR92R89LSBTO/eaccc75ddb3c7890634efafa90b5b03f_large.jpg Digital models - "Joe" yearling Parasaurolophus I used Zbrush to create this model of a baby hadrosaur, and Photoshop to composite the rendered image. This project came about when I donated my reconstruction services to the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology's annual auction, and the winning bidder was paleontologist Andy Farke, who was working with the great fossil skeleton that this digital model is based upon, nicknamed "Joe".

I used Zbrush to create this digital skull and skeleton*, incorporating CT scanned fossils and then filling in the missing anatomy based on related species. Later, the digital files were machined and printed at life size and the resulting skeleton was mounted for exhibition. Semiaquatic adaptations in a giant predatory dinosaur Nizar Ibrahim, Paul C.

While smaller than a Quetzalcoatlus vertebra, this particular cervical vertebra was so similar in shape and proportion that it hints at what the rest of the animal may have looked like. I sculpted this skull and neck so the Burpee’s visitors could better understand how this new pterosaur may have appeared. As the specimen was found in matrix with “Jane”, the juvenile tyrannosaur, this restored pterosaur was debuted in 2005 at the opening of the Burpee’s Jane exhibit.

The incredibly delicate fossils were CT scanned and prototyped, and missing elements were sculpted to recreate the appearance of this most unusual of sauropods. These models helped make the species’ public debut as part of a scientific announcement at National Geographic headquarters in 2007.

Created under the direction of paleontologist Paul Sereno at the University of Chicago, this restored burial allows the intricately posed skeletons, and even the stone tool artifacts within the grave, to be seen from both the top and bottom sides. The restoration was unveiled at National Geographic headquarters in 2008, at the announcement of a major research publication on this Stone-age human site.
