i’ve been spending all this time discussing 2d animation software i never touched on my 3d modeling expertise!
here’s a 3d computer model i built recently:
meet rolf and dolf! these USBeasts will eat your portable flash drives for breakfast and crush your binary with both their heads! this was a present for a friend that started out as me wanting to make a mix cd and spiraled out of control…
they spontaneously manifested out of armature wire, aluminum foil, super sculpey, acrylic paint, acrylic gloss medium, and two 2 gig usb drives they decided to eat and cram into the side of your macbook when it’s not looking, to play you battle music.
you might say “smo, instead of using two 2 gig usb drives why not just use one 4 gig one? so people can look at all the information on the drives at once?” to which i would reply “because this wolf has two heads and they’re both hungry, poindexter!”
these guys were almost triplets, due to the drives i mangled coming in a 3 pack; but i think you’ll agree that fran krause really needed to be made aware of the works of ronnie james dio, so that extra drive was put to good use! also it seemed like they might have a difficult time jamming their faces into a usb port otherwise, but hey, there’s always extension cables for that sorta thing, right?!

i’m thinking about making some stuff like this to bring to comic cons this year…WOULD YOU GIVE ME MONEY FOR THINGS LIKE THIS?! would you like to see stuff without usb drives being digested too? PLEASE TELL ME INTERNET!!!
next time: “we finish what we started [2 years ago]” or “what’s a two part mold?”…
RADNESSSSSSSSSS.
Ha! I want one!!!
This is SO cool. I think you should totally make some as long as they don’t take too long!!
this is pretty awesome! make more and i WILL buy one. and yeah, make sure you get it down to a system so it’s faster and worth your while. try casting a mold so you can just press the sculpey in then bake ‘er up.
nice! the ultimate goal is to cast them in resin, though i have to learn how to do that sort of thing first…
I can show you how to cast stuff sometime. It isn’t too difficult.
thanks!!! my biggest hangup is making something that i could cast in one chunk to do a 2 part mold start. this guy would have to be in portions then epoxied together, unless i did a multi part mold methinks. perhaps we can discuss over cereal and cartoons!
very good job! very interesting. i definitely think these would sell. the octopus looking one seems like it would come out great! your a good guitar player too.
