DESCRIPTION

This project brought to life a resin designer toy featuring a unique cartoon skull character, inspired by a playful and bold aesthetic. Designed as a 5"x5"x5" cube, the toy blends durability with intricate detailing, creating a high-quality collectible that captures the client's creative vision.

HOW WE DID

1. Concept Refinement:

The project began with a sketch provided by the client, which we transformed into a cohesive design while maintaining the playful proportions and character of the original concept.

Collaborative discussions ensured the final design aligned with the client's expectations.

2. Digital Modeling & Prototyping:

Using advanced 3D sculpting software, we crafted a detailed digital model, paying close attention to proportions, symmetry, and surface quality.

A 3D-printed prototype was produced to evaluate the design and identify areas for refinement.

3. Resin Casting:

High-grade resin was selected for its ability to capture fine details and provide a durable yet lightweight finish.

Custom molds were created to ensure precision during casting, resulting in seamless and consistent reproduction.

4. Painting & Finishing:

Each piece was meticulously hand-painted using vibrant, durable paints that brought the cartoon skull to life.

Surface finishing techniques were applied to achieve a smooth and polished appearance, enhancing the toy's visual appeal and tactile quality.

5. Client Collaboration:

Throughout the process, we maintained close communication with the client, incorporating feedback at every stage to ensure their vision was fully realized.
