Blind Box Toy Process
This turbo was to create a small toy that could be used as part of a mystery blind box toy series. I decided to go with the 'Rockstars', and subsequently made my own 'Shell-ton John' prototype. I ended up rushing it quite a bit in the 2 week timeframe, so I could improve on the paint job, but I feel the sculpted arms and sliding mechanism (a level at the back makes his head pop up and down) were a success. I used Rhino 6 to digitally model the body, which was then 3D printed. The head was sculpted in Zbrush and 3D printed. The rest was made traditionally using various glueing, filling, sanding and sculpting techniques. Thanks for looking!
I worked from scaled drawings I completed on graph paper. This one also shows where I will place the internal slider mechanism.
Coloured designs completed on photoshop, quite rough due to the length of the project and how quick I needed to work.
The feet, shell and legs were created on Rhino 6, and the head was sculpted in ZBrush. The parts were 3D printed.
I added vaseline to the parts and sculpted on top with magic sculpt, so would still be able to detach the parts and paint them separately before assembling.
All the parts complete, ready for assembling and painting!
