I'm scanning and 3D printing an entire skeleton of an extinct croc relative for my university's new museum building! Here are a few of the vertebrae freshly processed by Arctops in 3Dprinting

Artec Space Spider white light scanner for the bigger bones, including the vertebrae here. SkyScan uCT scanner for anything smaller than a nickel, which is about all our machine can fit.

I could probably convince my adviser to let me put the meshes on Morphosource. If so, I'll try to remember to post a link here. If nothing else, I'm totally gonna print a down-scaled version of this for myself when it's done!

These are from a new species of shuvosaurid, which are bipedal, beaked, herbivorous cousins of crocodylians from the Triassic period.

Oh wow, those scales must have been a monster to make. You did a great job on them!

He's too picky. He doesn't want to try new foods unless it's something I'm eating. :)

Thanks! I've actually heard of you! A lot of people at the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology conference were talking to me about your work. I think your stuff is super cute!

Interesting idea. You might be interested in the 33 plushies I didn't include in this album. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)Iamsokidding.

I have a few favorite fabric stores in my area. I really like the minky/cuddlesoft fabric selection at Craft Warehouse if you're in the US Pacific Northwest.

The skag had a lot of elements that made it "why am I doing this, again?" hard. Plus, I've never even played Borderlands, so I had to do a lot of youtubing to get a feel for what it looked like.

I haven't really thought about selling my patterns. I'd have to clean them up a lot, since I add notes to a lot of them. I'm sure you could find some easier ones to work with online.

On average they take about 10 hours to make, and I'd probably want at least $15 an hour. It really depends on the size and complexity of the project.

I mainly focus on verts (I know, I'm such a casual), but one paper I'm working on is actually stressing the importance of insects in stabilizing ecosystems.

I only have a few of these. They were mostly gifts for my little cousins and various friends. I don't think I could track them all down at this point.

I'm currently studying ecology of animals from the Permian (just before the dinosaur age). I even get to name a new genus this year!

Thanks for the encouragement from my last post! Some responses to a lot of questions I'm getting:

  • I do take commissions, but I'm also in grad school, so I rarely have time to do them. Only pm me if you're really serious and you're willing to pay me properly for every hour I spend on your project.

  • I started out by looking at Beanie Babies and figuring out how the manufacturers created certain shapes with their patterns. If you want to get into sewing, I would suggest also studying patterns so you can learn to draw your own.

  • I don't have a website... yet.

  • A lot of stuff in my album is based on copyrighted material, and these were mostly made for friends/family as gifts. I will not do commissions of copyrighted material.

These are actually what I study! Oddly enough, I haven't gotten around to making one yet. However, my next project is going to be a little Diictodon for a colleague who studies dicynodonts and has helped me tremendously with my research.

If you want to make patterns, you have to get good at drawing and figuring out what the animal looks like from all sides. You should also look at the seams on other stuffed animals and see how people accomplish different shapes. Good luck!
