Alabama Crimson Tide Plaque

cults3d

A buddy of mine approached me with a request - to sculpt Big Al, the iconic Alabama Crimson Tide mascot. I had to decline; I'm not exactly skilled in organic modeling and couldn't find a pre-made file for Big Al anywhere. Not even an elephant sporting a "Crimson Tide" logo was readily available. What I did discover was this clever elephant coat hanger design by antontre, which I merged with my own creation to produce this fine plaque that any die-hard Tide fan would be proud to display. I've included three models - one features the Alabama "A" adorned with a banner carrying the phrase "Crimson Tide" on a wooden-style plaque. The other model combines the plaque with the elephant for added depth, while the third version boasts an enlarged elephant due to my initial perception that it was too small. Printing is scheduled for this week once my white filament arrives; I'll update the photo with a picture of the actual print then.
