Description
A little gift for lovely ~medlae

The whole process was quite interesting, featuring lots of modern technology:

1. I made the exact model in 3DS Max, rigged it and posed
2. I rendered the front, side and top views in 1:1 scale
3. The views were printed and glued to the piece of wood
4. Using the "many small holes" technique, I cut the outline of each of the 3 views
5. The excessive wood blocks were chopped off using a chisel. It required only few punches, because everything was very already perforated by the drill
6. With the help of the Dremel tool and high-speed cutting saw, I cut my fingernail in half and introduced second-level details, like muscles, tail, legs
7. Using the milling head, which I normally use for making electronic PCBs, I made third-level details, like face features, ears, thin groves and paws
8. I polished everything firstly with a abrasive head, then with a fine sandpaper
9. I drilled the holes for the whiskers with the 0.8mm drill, that I normally use for making PCBs
10. The whiskers itself are pieces of 0.5mm wire, with the ends bent and pushed firmly into the holes.
