My sculpt and design take for the Discworld.
Done for my wife as a gift.

Comments / critiques welcome. 20160519_071049-1024x1185.jpg20160519_071032.jpg20160519_071016.jpg20160519_071032-1024x863.jpg
 
Nice, how big is it, and what is it made from?
I made one that's ~6 inches wide, and one that's ~4 inches wide.

It's digitally sculpted and then printed in a high detail acrylic resin in one piece (including the tails on the elephants). I did have to glue the tusks on afterwards.

(Slowly) working on a stand for it as well.

I know my wife was blown away since down to the smaller rivers on the terrain and the elephants eyes and toes are captured in relief on the model.

I may print a multiple part one eventually that's more the size of a desk globe- but that'd be some serious time and money to produce, even being able to do it at home.20160708_152444.jpg
 
That is outstanding. I miss Sir Terry. [emoji853]

If you ever share the file on Thingiverse or Shapeways, please announce that here. The love that went into this is awesome.

I really appreciate that!

I worked hard to make it feel alive :)
The elephants are all 4 unique and in motion poses.
I tried to give the impression of water motion on the edges as well.
Still haven't printed the luggage stand for it.
If there's enough interest I'll consider doing a run of maybe up to a 10-12 prints. Too much cleanup required to do really more than that.
 
If possible you could try to get the water part a little more "wet" looking, maybe some sort of gloss paint over it.
 
Wanted to- wife was wanting it since she saw it. I did not win that argument. She told me that since it's a gift for her, she should have some day in when it's done. ;-)
