Narwhal Marker Holder

thingiverse

It's that time of year again when coworkers start making unusual requests. One coworker asked for a unicorn, and my response was a firm "No!" After feeling a pang of guilt, I offered them a Narwhal instead. Following some unsuccessful attempts at sculpting, I took inspiration from the whale in the Rankin/Bass Rudolph specials, Big Ben. Initially, there was just a forehead hole where the marker could serve as the horn, but the more I looked at it, the more I thought adding a blowhole would be a great idea. This approach works best when you're using a pen with a feathered tip.
