Leona’s Final Project

Hello there, here are some projects I have made through the course. The Beast I would say this is one of my favorite art pieces so far. At first, I just want to sketch some archeology concepts as I was inspired by Katsuya artist, then I just made him a character out of a sudden….

Well here goes Leona’s Toy Design

Since I always want a LEGO mug since I was 3, sadly the first and only time I went to Legoland they were out of stock, so by the power of Tinkercad I decide to create one my own. The mug design is pretty simple, and for the handle, it is a combination of 2…

3D Doodle – Leona

Well I decide to make Eve from Wall-E since Wall-E is my favorite movie from Disney. And for the Zbrush, it was hard to control in the first place but I get used to it. I don’t remember this character from which show but I just randomly drew him! He looks like a grumpy old…

Lantern Project

I have waited for so many days but seems like my Japanese clay will not arrive in time for this project, so I will save it for a later project. This is also the project that I have to retry the laser cut most (4 times!) as the pieces is not fitted with the right…

Lantern Into the woods

Holla it’s Leona. I’m sorry if my Lantern design was uploaded a little late, I have been spending time on my SVG files and looking for the proper “box design”. Since there was no simple box design on MakerCase that I thought would be nice for the project, I was thinking of a lantern whose…

Layers Project – The Beast

Greetings, it’s me again. As I mentioned in the last post, due to some problems I could not attempt to use 6 different types of wood for the project. However, I still have my cuts by 2 different types of woods, so at first, I managed to assemble all the pieces together using the different…

Layer Cuts – Update

(It took me a while to get my account back so I’m sorry for the late update) I finnished my Illustrator vectors (it was a pain, to be honest, to draw the horns) and ready to have my laser cutting. This is not my first laser cuts for the project : It’s my third attemp….

Here’s my Layers Concept

I decide to work on some archeology concepts as I was overwhelmed with a Japanese artist, Katsuya, lately (amazing artist). And since I went to the maker space, I had the chance to look over many different wooden art pieces, I think working with more than one material will be a great challenge as different…

First cuts

My first wooden cut, they’re not too bad at all. I had sometrouble for opening the file on Corel at the makerspace, it took me a while but here are my results! The #1 Drawing is Dreaming, #2 is Fate and #3 is Rainfall in the Mountain King. I wish I did more laser cuts…

Leona’s Drawing #2 and #3

It’s getting near to a holiday in my country – Hung Kings’ Anniversary, to how deep gratitude towards their origins and ancestors. So I decide to make a little inking piece of the woman in the Hung Kings’ Festival: she will wear Vietnamese traditional clothes (not AoDai, can you guess it ?) and a huge hat…

Drawing 1 – Hidden

Recently my friend keeps asking me which color should she dye her hair? So as a best friend, I’m making this art piece for her so she can know which looks best for her. It’s minimalist style. I’m such a good friend. My idea is that I would use this artpiece to travel everywhere then…

Greetings, I’m Leona

My name is Nhi Nguyen, or you can call me Leona as everyone in WPI does. I came from Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, which is an energetic city with many beautiful modern art galleries. Although being a RBE/CS student, I cannot get rid Art out of my life: it’s part of what makes me…
