Based on sketches/art and direction from Alva Skog, I sculpted these pieces in Zbrush and prepared them for 3D printing during my tenure at UniqueBoard. Alva's wonderful way with anatomy and proportion was the perfect challenge for my sculpting ability. The bookend piece in particular involved some creative problem solving in order to create one flat side for holding up books as well as a few ways in which we collaborated on modifying the original art a bit for sculptural purposes.
