Ground-free felids series, 2/6, mountain lion.

bonus: playing with textures and layer modes

So. I saw someone try to make and post 100 soups last year, and so now I'm trying to make 100 small clay creatures this year (year of the horse. Started at the end of february. I'm not that late. The festivities haven't even ended yet! - as of writing this post, not the publication date) But I'm doing a series of lino-like digital drawings (planning to try actual lino later this year, so wanted to make a couple mockups first) and I thought: why not make a hundred animal drawings too. Surely when making an organized attempt at 100 of the same thing in a specific timeframe for the first time ever, making two at the same time won't backfire. I have plenty of time.

groundfree felids 3/6, jaguar

wips under the cut:

Did some 3D printing of my mountain people series. It was... not without challenges but I did get printed figures out of it in the end.

I am planning on making a blog post about the whole process. At some point. Later. Prooobably in the summer.

Two quick pieces of advice though: - if you make your own 3D files to print: make that shit thicker. No, thicker than that. Again. That was maybe half of my issues. - and I personally really like the fuzzy skin option (in slicing softwares). It makes the filament not be straight but move in random-ish patterns on outer surfaces, which makes it more matte and helps hide the printing lines.
