Layers Project: For the layers project, I wanted to cutout a piece that would resemble the monster icons from the Monster Hunter game. I choose Rathalos as it is usually the mascot of the series. I bought wood from the makerspace and colored the piece using acrylic paints I had on hand. I tried to…

Lauren Waddick – Altered Toys Finished
For my altered toys project, I tried to design a toy concept that could’ve been seen as a Skylander when the games were going on. I sculpted the creature in zBrush, iterating on a sea monster design I had sketched out. I also tried adding the base that a water Skylander is usually seen on…

Here is the progress I’ve made on the altered toys project. I decided to sculpt the sea monster Skylander idea for my toy design changing up a bit as I went along. The pose is a little rough and I’m not sure it balance correctly because of it but wanted to see how it would…

For my lantern project, I wanted to base the theme around a game that I had played in the past called Okami. I thought the art style might look interesting when translating to a lantern. I tried to find the right balance between cut and structure to make sure the piece allowed light through but…

For this project, I want to base it around a childhood toy collecting game called Skylanders. I want to try to design what could look like a fake character from the series by making a toy from the design. Below are some quick sketches of possible designs. I’m hoping to match the cartoony style of…
Lantern Project WIP
My progress on the lantern has been slow due to not be able to get on the laser, but I had a session where I could test cut the design. I rastered one part of the design that had too many lines for the laser to cut without leaving a hole. When I lasered the…
3D Doodles Geometric
Here is a little doodle of a snake I made in Tinkercad. I mainly played with creating holes with other shapes to create donuts that would allow it to be in a squiggly shape.
Lauren Waddick – Lantern Design
My lantern design was inspired by the game artwork of Okami, which has a beautiful Japanese watercolor art style. I thought it’s design could create interesting positive and negative shapes with the light can create a scenic shadow when it is lit. I plan to edit the artwork below to be a bit more laser…
