My first cuts project ended up being one of my favourite pieces so I’m including it here too! This was just a simple vector drawing of my character Rosencrantz with raster engravings for shadows and colour difference. My layers project was based on the idea of an anatomical model that shows the skeleton under the…

Altered Toys WIP – Percy
I sat down for about 4 hours and sculpted my Littlest Pet Shop. I am waiting for tomorrow to get the full user training for the 3D printers before I bring the model into 3DPrinterOS and check it out, but I don’t anticipate major problems. The body, head, and neck peg (not shown) are 3…
3D Doodles Organic – Percy
I’ve been using ZBrush for 4 years, so I’m pretty well practiced with it. I’m planning on using it for my toy sculpt, and since I couldn’t really think of anything to sculpt that wouldn’t take up so much of my time (it’s hard for me to not push for a super detailed final sculpt,…
Altered Toys Design – Percy
Since I talked about Littlest Pet Shop in the previous class, they were the first thing on my mind for toys to alter. LPS were probably my favourite toys next to Lego and Schleich figures. I figured it would be pretty simple and fun to create my own LPS! I am even getting the full…
3D Geometric Doodle – Percy
I know this was supposed to be a doodle, but I took it as an excuse to model something I’ve been intending to model for some time now. This is the bracelet the characters wear in the game 9 Hours 9 Persons 9 Doors. My sister requested I 3D print her one for her cosplay…
Lantern Project WIP
I managed to cut and put together my lantern today. Unfortunately, despite testing all my raster settings with a light, most of the detail did not shine through. I also had an issue with holes in the plywood that I had to patch, which made the box look a bit messy. Overall, I think if…
Lantern Design – Percy
For my lantern, I was greatly inspired by the piece that used inward raster engraving to create unique sources of light on what initially appears to be a blank cube. I decided to use this idea for my lantern as well. A cube is a simple shape, but can look neat and unassuming at first….
Layers Project WIP – Percy
I was able to get to the laser to cut my design this weekend. However, it is not quite finished as I have not had the time to acquire wood stain and glue and complete the project. I expect it to be finished very soon! My question is – I am unsure whether I want…
Layers Design – Percy
For my layers concept, I was really inspired by the works shown in class that showed layered versions of animal faces or layers showing skeletal versions of animals. I wanted to work with this concept to create a see-through face that shows the skull underneath. I picked a wolf because they have an easily recognisable…
First Cuts – Percy
I had some issue with the vector lines (that I thankfully believe I now know how to fix, I just didn’t have the tools at my disposal next to the laser) that caused most of the detail to be lost. However, I hope to try cutting this again soon in a larger size to preserve…
Drawings 2 & 3 – Percy
For drawing 2, I did a more complex drawing of Rosencrantz that uses raster engraving as well. The drawing is fairly simple all things considered and uses only a small amount of engraving, although I do have a second variation that would look better but could potentially take a long time to engrave (which is…
Drawing #1 – Percy
For my drawing I went with a simple doodle of my fursona, who you will probably see a lot of in my future drawings as well (I’m hoping to cut an acrylic standee of him for a later assignment). I wanted to be able to test how well his design translates to engravings. I kept…
Percy Rynkowski – Introduction
Hey all! My name’s Perseus Rosencrantz, but you can call me Percy (or Rose!), and I use he/him. I’m from Portland, Maine. I’m an IMGD BA major and I’ve spent most of my life drawing dragons, cats, and other animals and furries. I’ve always figured art would have a major part in my future just…
