So while in school, we had access to a 3d printer, and so I printed the 'cherry' sculpt I did. Since everyone had to print super small so that we could all have turns messing with it, uh it was hard to work on. After much effort being put into cutting and sanding and painting... I eventually realized that it just wasn't going to work. Art sometimes includes all the messups, so here is one of my experimental messups. I learned that I will need to taper the keys more next time and also that separating the hair fringe from the face would have made it a lot easier to paint. Also, the resolution kinda sucked and there were seam lines galore, oh well. It wasn't me who was in charge of the printing so *shrugs* It was fun to try though, even if it ended in failure.

How it looked as I worked on cutting away the supports~

Surprisingly the figure's parts slid into place and fit decently despite the tiny scale. at this point however I realized no matter what I did, it couldn't be salvaged, I sanded, i painted, sanded more, and then just said... 'no, enough'.
