This is my biggest 3D printing project. I had the chance to spend two months in a residency organized by the French collective Salade Suprême.
During that time, I focused on creating a 3D wall art piece. I wanted to make a creature emerging from a canvas, so I started with a quick sketch on Procreate :
Then i modeled and sculpted it in Blender. It took me about 5 to 6 days :
I printed the pieces on my Elegoo Neptune 3 Pro with PLA. 10 days of printing in total.
I used acrylic to paint the parts progressively, right after each one was printed.
Then I glued everything together and mounted it on a piece of melamine wood.
I added gold leaf, brass chains, fabric, paper, and two LED strips for the eyes.
The frame is 3D printed as well.
The final piece measures 62 x 58 cm.
Here's a timelapse of the creation process :
