Oleander Figure

This is from I think 2011. A friend wanted a small statue of one of the characters from his Oleander and Mint books.
The shapes are simple and it was a pretty quick sculpt in zbrush. The text was done in 3ds max and sent to shapeways for printing (before I had my own 3d printers). Print was cleaned up, primed, then molded in silicone to reproduce the resin copies.

Some of the resin castings. They were cold cast with a bronze finish.

Original sls print done though Shapeways was used for the pattern and molded.
