Years ago I 3d Modeled & 3D printed a figurine of a local graffiti artist, Oracle - also known as Super Cool Spaceman.
After I posted my project, he got in contact with me, and I did some 3d prints for him and got to chat a bit. He's a really cool dude. Very talented and also very creative - not just Graffiti, but other hobbies as well, such as glass blowing.
While I don't check Instagram often these days, I happened to be checking when I saw he posted a 3D model he had made.
In the time since our meeting, he picked up some Blender skills & made his own character! Not only that, but he learned about 3D animation and some programming and even made a basic game featuring his Character in Godot.
I reached back out and he offered to send me the STL to print.
I printed it and gave it a paint job. While my figure making skill have grown since this effort, I'm still happy with how it came out. Not sure why but my skin paint wouldn't apply evenly and looks pretty bad. It looks better in person, but in photographs it's really noticeable. I didn't have an airbrush yet, so I could have done much better now.
I now have my home-made Oracle figure as well as the real deal.
