The Exciting Thing! The one that I promised earlier
I've been really interested in 3D printing for a while, and sculpture much longer than that. A while back I got into 3D modeling and recently I've had time to pick it up again. These are a test run of a few sculptures I ordered printed from www.shapeways.com/ It's so amazing to be able to hold your digital sculptures in your hands This is basically the durable, reproducable medium I've been wanting since I was a kid. And digital sculpture is so efficient and powerful, there's so much you can do with it and I've learned a lot since I haven't had school to deal with.

Aaaand I've opened up a shop ~> www.shapeways.com/shops/wildca…
This is the perfect way to sell sculptures for me, I've been wanting this forever :U It's way more affordable than I could ever sell traditional sculptures for, and more than one person can enjoy having each work if they want to c: The wolf sculpture I have up right now is around $8, for example. It's an easy way to sell my own original work without having to part with it, since what drives my art is mostly personal interest and I usually want to keep most things unless they were commissions. x'D More is coming soon! I have another shipment of different sculptures coming in hopefully Monday, and based on that I'll see if my next design needs any tweaks before making it available. I'll post updates here! c:

Seen in the photos here are a fairly large model of Rook, a smaller, low-polygon version of the same sculpture, one of Ava designed to sit on uneven surfaces (really just a quick digital "sketch" I decided to print on a whim), and a model of a rock quarry made with digital elevation map data. There's a tiny north arrow but the N is kind of hard to read haha. This material, basically laser-sintered nylon powder, doesn't show details as well as some others offerred, but it's the cheapest and most versatile and I really like the feel of it. It's really like no other material I've felt before. Someday I'll try out one of their higher-detail materials. I'm working on also making models that will print in a different material in full color! 8D

As of yet, only the rock quarry and the lowpoly wolf are available. Not sure if anyone but me would want a tiny 3D printed rock quarry, but hey now at least the option is out there : D The larger model of Rook had a few minor anatomy issues I didn't notice just seeing it on a screen, and I'm honestly not sure what to call the one of Ava, since it isn't really a normal wolf? xD It's pretty cute though and I've gotten several positive comments on it when showing these to people, so maybe once I figure out what to list it as (and fix a couple minor things) I'll make it available too ^^

Since I got a lot of questions about sculpture commissions on my traditional pieces, I'll say I don't know about commissions in this medium yet. I want to get more familiar with it and explore different techniques and such before I do that, plus I'm not sure yet how much I would charge. But It's a whole lot more likely than traditional sculpture commissions! I may offer a few special (experimental maybe?) commissions in it at some point in the future, once I know a little more!

As far as I know this company can ship to most places except Russia for some reason. However if you're in Russia and want one of these let me know! There's a very similar Belgian printing service called iMaterialize I can most likely go through instead.
