Kickstarter

Thank you! You will receive a digital copy (jpg) of my completed Dryptosaurus digital sculpture! This will make a great memento of your support for this project as your computer's wallpaper, or throw it into your next family slideshow to tout your Kickstarter participation!

Thank you! You will receive a signed and personalized postcard from my Paleoart exhibit. This was my first solo art show, and will be a very collectible piece of ephemera! The postcard shows a different dinosaur sculpture of mine on either side. You will also receive the digital copy (jpg) listed in Reward #1!

Thank you! You will receive a photo print of my Dryptosaurus bust sculpture, suitable for framing. I'll autograph the front or back, your choice. This is a photograph that I took of my traditionally sculpted head, which was reconstructed for the Lake County Discovery Museum in Wauconda, Illinois... it's the head that got this whole Kickstarter project going!

Thank you!! You will receive a cast of my dinosaur sculpture, Herrerasaurus. This reward really exemplifies the power of using digital technologies: I started with a life-sized, traditionally sculpted head. Next, the head was surface scanned to digitize it. That digital scan was then scaled down, and 3D printed using a prototyping machine. The resulting miniature version of the dinosaur head, perfect in detail and proportion, was molded and cast to create your reward!

Thank you!! I've brought back this sold-out reward due to popular demand. You will receive a cast of my dinosaur sculpture, Herrerasaurus. This reward really exemplifies the power of using digital technologies: I started with a life-sized, traditionally sculpted head. Next, the head was surface scanned to digitize it. That digital scan was then scaled down, and 3D printed using a prototyping machine. The resulting miniature version (2.5 inches) of the dinosaur head, perfect in detail and proportion, was molded and cast to create your reward!

Thank you!! You will get a half Alioramus head, suitable for wall hanging. This an unpainted (off white) small scale resin cast of my traditionally sculpted head of Alioramus altai. This species is a distant relative of Dryptosaurus, and was described by Steve Brusatte. 12 inches long. Extra charge for international shipping.

Thank you!! You will receive a cold-cast bronze wall hanging of my traditionally sculpted Alioramus altai half-head. In this process, real bronze powder is mixed into resin and cast into a mold, resulting in a replica with the look and feel of solid bronze, and can even be polished to a shine with steel wool! 12 inches long. Extra charge for international shipping.

Thank you!! You will receive a model kit version of my digital Dryptosaurus sculpture. This will be created by taking the digital sculpture data and 3D printing it with a prototyping machine at a miniature scale. You can assemble and paint this resin model, which will be about 12 inches long when assembled. This is a great collector piece! Extra charge for international shipping.

Thank you!! You will receive a painted, finished maquette of my digital Dryptosaurus sculpture. This will be created by taking the digital sculpture data and 3D printing it with a prototyping machine at a miniature scale. I will then assemble and paint the model for you- a combination of my digital and traditional art, and a real collectors item! Extra charge for international shipping.

Thank you!! You will receive a cold-cast bronze miniature replica of my digital Dryptosaurus sculpture! This will be created by first 3D printing my digital model file at small scale, about 12 inches long. I'll mold that prototype, and then mix real bronze powder into resin to create a casting for you that has the look and feel of real solid bronze! Extra charge for international shipping.

Thank you!! You will receive a painted, finished maquette of my digital Dryptosaurus sculpture. This will be created by taking the digital sculpture data and 3D printing it with a prototyping machine at a miniature scale. I will then assemble and paint the model for you- a combination of my digital and traditional art, and a real collectors item! This model will be in a different pose than the sold-out series of 5 models at this same reward level. Extra charge for international shipping.

Thank you!!! I will give you a live presentation, showing how I research and create my reconstructions, called "From Fossils to Flesh". I will send you my Powerpoint in advance, and then on our mutually agreed date and time, I will connect with you via Skype, wherever in the world you are! Gather your friends and family, group, class or club, and I'll be happy to take questions after my talk. Good for one year from end of successful Kickstarter funding.

Thank you so much! This is a special request for a true believer in my work: 5 of my full-body Dryptosaurus model kits! This is the 3D printed miniature version of my Zbrush sculpture, in kit form, ready to be assembled and painted, about 12 inches long.

Thank you!!! I will give you a live and in-person presentation, showing how I research and create my reconstructions, called "From Fossils to Flesh". I'll use a Powerpoint show and bring in actual sculptures to illustrate my process. Gather your friends and family, group, class or club, and I'll be happy to take questions after my talk. Good for one year from end of successful Kickstarter funding. Limited to a 20 mile radius around Brookfield, Illinois.

Thank you!!! Your generous support entitles you to a very interesting piece of artwork. I will create a half-head wall hanging replica of my life-sized, traditionally sculpted Dryptosaurus head! Approximately 3 feet long. One left and one right profile will be created. Extra charge for international shipping. This is not something I usually offer, and is at a significant reduction from museum pricing!

Thank you!!! Your generous gift will allow my project to go so much further! You will receive my life-sized bust of Herrerasaurus, which is a traditionally sculpted head and neck of this ancient predatory dinosaur. This sculpture was originally created as a showcase in the Japanese paleoart book "Life Restorations of Dinosaurs", for the chapter I wrote documenting my process and techniques. Approximately 3 feet long. A great opportunity for serious collectors or museums, as this is available here as a reward at a significant price reduction! Extra charge for international shipping.

Thank you!!! Your generous gift entitles you to a cast of my traditionally sculpted life-sized Dryptosaurus head. Approximately 3 feet long, this is the head that the Lake County Discovery Museum has on display. It will be intricately detailed and painted - for you I can customize the coloration to suit your needs. This will be only the second cast of my Dryptosaurus head in existence! A great opportunity for serious collectors or museums, as this is available here as a reward at a significant price reduction! Extra charge for international shipping.

Thank you!!! This reward will be a very special, one-of-a-kind casting of my traditionally sculpted Dryptosaurus head. This life-sized model, about 3 feet long, will be an ALBINO variation - pink eyes, white scales and protofeathers, pale keratin...I've been wanting to create one of these for a while now, and I think it will be quite terrifying! A very unique piece for a serious collector, and still lower than museum pricing. Extra charge for International shipping.
