T-Rex for The Learning Channel

To finish up this last run of dinosaur postings, here's a stop-motion T-Rex that I was contracted to do in 1996. The late Gairy Bialke did the sculpt over an armature by Jamie Haggerty which was molded and cast by Mark and Melinda Kendrick. I did the finish, which was quite extensive - lots of build-up work on the arms, teeth and tongue, then the paint job.


It was animated against bluescreen and sent to a company in L.A. for use in station I.D. for The Learning Channel. I've actually never seen the finished piece, so if anyone has a link to it please let me know.

You can see this T-Rex animated briefly, as the raw element and then composited into a cityscape by John Barrick, at the end of my old commercial demo reel.



This is the sculpt done by the late Gairy Bialke over the armature, which you can see below.


Jamie Haggerty whipped this out quickly for us, unfortunately we had to cut a few corners - the ankles were wire which was difficult but we didn't have time to redo it.

Lizard with a baseball bat


I made this for my son Edward's baseball team banner in 2006. They called themselves the "Dragons" but I think this is more of a lizard. Or a Komodo dragon, or maybe an alligator. Notice the posing similarity with my Devil Dinosaur painting.

Devil Dinosaur - esque


Painted this in acrylic in 2001, just a quickie thing... I kind of like it though. I put the watermark on there just in case someone wants to steal this for package art, which would be awesome - please contact me if you want it, I'll give you a hi-res file for your cheap plastic toy label.
