Bunny with boxing gloves. Grooving in gif-land. I also uploaded the 3D file (.stl) onto thingiverse
I wanted to practice on a cocktail of programs - 123DCatch, Geomagic, and ZBrush. I think it’s a workflow that I can apply to many things, though eventually I would like to try my hand at more precise CAD instead of the sculptural ZBrush but one thing at a time. This started out as a 3D scan of a Miffy (or Nijntje) doll, then cleaned up and resculpted to have a different face, body, tail and… well… boxing gloves.
Sake boxes designed by myself and Matthew Borgatti. Made of lasercut plywood and sealed/finished with a beeswax and olive oil mix, Matt handled the box construction and I made the pattern and sleeping cat logo etched onto the surface.
The gif is a taste of how the cat symbol progressed. Based off of Japanese Kamon (or house emblems/crests) you can see how it went from rough sketch to more realized outline to final streamlined illustration of sleepy kitty goodness.
