Dragon Head Coat Hook

With this sculpt, I've managed to merge my usual sculpting process into a product design version of it. The inspiration came from Smaug, the Hobbit's dragon. Given that it's my first "product design style" apart from the Octopus, I decided to create an object with two distinct functionalities: a small bowl for treats or a hanger for your jacket. For this second idea, I had the invaluable assistance of my colleague Mark Ledwold, who provided and optimized a screw holder that I integrated into my base. The Zbrush workflow I followed this time was similar to what I've done in past months: - Reference image and plan primary forms - Fix the volume of objects - Add secondary forms: trym dynamic, move, standard, hpolish, dam standard, curve tube, form soft - Maintain a flat and clean base to add contrast between the detailed part of the concept and the product idea of it - Add details and fix some proportions - Optimize for printing free support This model can be printed without supports. However, I tested the support needs on this object, and Cura generated only a couple of really thin supports that I cleaned by hand. As a final experiment, I bought a packet of Lindt chocolate to test the usability of the product (it can also be printed on a larger scale like 15x15x20cm for greater capability).
