Scientific Illustrations

Here are a couple of modified images from a recent commission for a scientific paper.

Forensic Facial Reconstruction Texturing work

The following four images are of an interactive exhibit in the Science Museum, London in the newly reopened 'Who Am I?' exhibit.

The original forensic facial reconstruction, of Bleadon Man, was carried out by Dr Caroline Wilkinson of the Centre for Anatomy and Human Identification. A bronze of the original reconstructed head is also in the exhibition alongside the skeletal remains. http://www.ingenious.org.uk/See/?s=S2&target=ctx&DCID=10321675

To update the exhibit, a digital version of Dr Wilkinson's reconstruction was commissioned. I was asked to create a textured rotation of the reconstruction as part of an interactive piece describing the reconstruction process.

The following images are of the exhibit and a still from the animated digital version of the head.

The next images are of A Pictish Woman whose remains were found in Lundin Links, Fife. Her skeleton is in the collection of McManus Galleries and Museum, Dundee. The original reconstruction was carried out by Dr Wilkinson several years ago. (Image below)

I created a textured rotation of the reconstruction which is now part of the exhibition in the 'Landscapes and Lives' gallery in the newly refurbished McManus.

 

Lifeforms

A new set of images derived from the Eukaryotic Cell learning tool which was created last year in collaboration with Researcher Dr Mhairi Towler (see the link on the left). These images were  exhibited at the Scottish Crop Research Centre in March 2009
