$4.99A Pirate and His Rat

Ahoy there, me hearties! This fellow started out as a "quick" 3D sketch that I posted on Twitter. I immediately knew I needed to do something more with him, and this is the end result. Sculpting this one brought me a lot of joy, even though it took quite a while to finish. What's the rat's story? I'm glad you asked! It started out as a conversation with my friend Vedran who asked where the guy's parrot was. I liked the idea, but in my sleep-deprived state I figured what this guy really needed was a pet rat. So he got a rat. They have been inseparable ever since. It really doesn't need any supports? I didn't need any when printing it, but your mileage may vary. I had a couple of areas with a little bit of sagging, but it printed just fine. As usual if you are in doubt and know your printer doesn't do overhangs very well, add those supports and print away! What else should I know? That The Shield is one of the best TV shows of all time, and I highly recommend it.
