Zubat Sculpture

thingiverse

A speedy sculpt of Zubat. Evidently the most woeful Pokémon to exist. It lacks eyes, arms or legs completely. I utilized this model to instruct myself in modeling wings correctly. Zbrush was used for the sculpt itself. I employed Fusion360 to design the stand. Meshmixer was used to divide the model into printable sections and create the socket for the stand. I discovered his wings became impractical if downscaled. (too thin for the line width of my 0.4mm nozzle) I printed at 0.1mm layer height, ~20% infill. Supports are essential, as well as build plate adhesion. I used a wider brim than I normally print with because there isn't much of the actual model touching the build plate. If the wings don't materialize properly in your slicer try lowering your line width by 0.05 mm. The other option would be to scale up slightly. If you upscale make sure you upscale all the parts to the same value. I super glued the tail portions onto the body. I followed this with 2 coats of black gesso as a base primer. Followed this with a mixture of blue and violet for the body, and magenta for the webbing. White was applied to the fangs. All non-primer coats were acrylic paints. He was then super glued into the base and a matte clear coat was applied to preserve the paint job.
