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.
Another quick pixel creation, this time with animation!
Using the power of Slit-scanning, I’ve condensed my evolution animation into one single image! This is accomplished by feeding the video past a single row of pixels, which is then played out as this image as the video moves past it. Can you recognize any specific parts?
It’s Darwin Day everybody! A day to celebrate science and evolution (and Charles Darwin’s birthday!), Darwin Day is a fairly recent phenomenon, but hopefully it’ll grow in time!
To celebrate, I’ve finished a version of my Evolution! animation, with drawings and sound effects from the Science Museum of Virginia! They, like all the groups, have their own specialized ending, this time ending with the Rainforest. The animation will be playing today in the rotunda of the Science Museum, but you can watch it here, too. Enjoy!
I 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!
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!
Well, my Evolution! animation won the Best Virginia Filmmaker award, as well as the People’s Choice! You can look here for the full list of winners. http://jamesriverfilm.org/2012/12/congrats-to-last-nights-james-river-shorts-2012-award-winners/
Happy 100th post! And, with that, I wrap up my creature skeleton drawings. There are 60 in all, with 2 from every generation. I’ve also combined the second group into their own roundel, which you can also get prints/etc of at my society6 page at http://society6.com/TylerRhodes . There’s free shipping through Monday! Enjoy!
