New Phylogenetic Trees!

tyler rhodes evolution phylogenetic tree extendedtyler-rhodes-evolution-phylogenetic-tree-extended-app.

Here are my extended trees with brand new creatures! I’ve done a view artworks myself referencing some of these newer creatures, but it took me until now to tie them all together. Mostly I took the existing tree, but started new lineages beginning where the other trees ended, effectively creating 12 generations instead of 6 in those lines. The red circle denotes a separate lineage from that point in another offshoot, which you can see in the second image there.

Linocut!

Last Wednesday I carried out my evolution simulation at a Lunchbreak Science seminar at the Science Museum of Virginia, here in Richmond. As everything was wrapping up, I held a small raffle for some prints I made from a linocut block that I had fashioned (based on one of my favorite critters) which you can see above!

WRIR, The Creative Habit, and Me!

desert-creaturesI was interviewed by WRIR (local Richmond independent radio station) a little while ago, and apparently its aired as the first episode of The Creative Habit! So if you ever wanted to hear me talk about my evolution project for 30 mins and say “right” 8 times in rapid succession, then click here!

Watercolors!

Here are some watercolor paintings I did for my friends Ruthie and Ian Edwards, based off of their original creature drawings. The drawings they made are from about a year ago when I had my animation playing at the Main Street Library here in Richmond, Virginia, and I managed to convince them to doodle some critters for me!

3-D Turtlebones

Well that was interesting! I asked some friends of mine to pick a skeleton from my series for me to make a 3-d model of, and this one seemed to be popular. A lot of strange tricky shapes involved, but I like it!

More 3-D Creatures

Another 3-d Creature from Saigo (Bogdan Gontar) over at Polycount. What was originally a woolly ice-age creature, Bogdan has turned into a sleek, almost aquatic killer. With a goofy smile. Thanks Bogdan!
