From zbrush to resin: My journey to indie art toy cr

[amph]

Hi mates!!
It's a little bit off topic, but I need help!!! (and thanks to mangozac and friends for the help and answers related to resin casting!!)


I'm an illustrator based in Barcelona,Spain.
One of my dreams in the last years was to make (or at least try) to make my own vinyl toys. After some research, I started to use zbrush for conceptualizing shapes, and make the finished model, being able to acomplish some nice and smooth results.
The model was made using a stl system (yes, 3d printing), and a lot of postproduction work (priming, sanding, etc...).
I started a IndieGoGo campaign (crowdfunding), because I need help for start the manufacturing process (casting materials, packaging, etc...).

Cheers from Spain!!!!

Hi Amph it's nice to see that your project has come together! Chubbyrd is certainly an odd looking character, but also very stylised. The post production work has left the master looking very smooth.

Good luck with your funding campaign!

Its cute in a strange way..

if its hollow will it float in the bath??

Why on earth do you need $1400 for this.. materials arnt that expensive are they? or is it just an arbitrary target?

Ah

hahahah...the money it's not for my pockets, with this I pay the material for each one, the packaging,the prototypes
my hours of work (making molds, casting, painting each piece) all the materials and tools that i bought...
Read the rewards that I'm offering in the campaign, please. Even if i reach the goal, i'll loose money.
Thanks
