Miri – Assignment 3: Recreating Bunny Art Toys
I started my object with a twist project before the re-creating object project. For my twist object, I went to a model on Thingiverse that I had collected a while ago with hopes to print it. I altered it by reducing the mesh to a low-poly form and making geometric alterations to the ears.
The result is my rendition of a Kidrobot Dunny toy. Dunny is an art toy, designed by Paul Budnitz and graffiti artist Tristan Eaton. http://sites.kidrobot.com/dunny/
For my reproduction of physical object project I decided to recreate another Kidrobot art toy, the Labbit. Labbit is an expressive rabbit toy with a mouth that accommodates various accessories, designed by graffiti artist Frank Kozik. http://www.kidrobot.com/collections/smorkin-labbit
It was really difficult to smooth out all the irregular and organic shapes of the Labbit’s body, so I ended up with some tumorous lumps that I couldn’t quite work out.
