Hey everyone! I hesitated to make this update, since unfortunately it has been a common trend among other creators to lose backers when they update…but I decided today that I would sit down and learn zbrush to put together an idea I’ve had for a while - it took a lot of time, and trial and error, but I figured the program out enough to produce this little guy! I’m actually pretty proud - this is my first ever real sculpt in a 3d program. I just really wanted to share this with you all, hopefully to the benefit of the campaign.
I’ll be honest - I’m pretty stressed out about the amount of cancellations this project has had, and the severe drop in funding over the last 10 or so days. So, I’d like to offer an incentive - if we are able to get funding back up to where it was at its peak (about 3.9k) then I will offer this melty popsicle figure (that also will hold a photo, note, or other paper object in its stick!) free to all backers.
We will need about $600 more in funding to make that happen - but if y’all are able to share the campaign with others, or were on the fence about increasing your pledge and decide to do so, or had previously cancelled but might want to re-pledge - then I think this is an attainable goal!
My plan is to print them all in tri color filament, which won’t be identical to the shiny rainbow look in the gif, but it will be similar in color shiftiness as its angle changes!
Feel free to comment any filaments you think might look good with this design!! I’m super proud of myself for figuring this out and not just giving up in frustration tbh 😅
i will be testing printing of this this weekend, and plan to have to measure 3” tall - prototyping will ultimately determine final size though!
Additionally, like my previous 2 campaigns, I’ve designed a pin board! This will be available to pledge for post-campaign (and I will make my paw and black hole boards available post campaign as well) I don’t have a printed example yet, but this is what the shape will look like, with a previous pin board prototype for reference:
This one was a bit thicker than the boards will ultimately turn out - however the infill will remain the same
This board will have a frame and interior color of your choice!
Thank you so much for your support thus far, as always, and if anyone has questions at all please don’t hesitate to reach out either via comment, email or on social media!
