I think 3D printing is awesome!  It’s something I hope to get into more eventually as I do work digitally as well.  I don’t think it will have any effect on my sculpture sales, no.  The same amount of work needs to go into creating a 3D print as does creating a traditional sculpture.  Creating duplicates is much easier though with a 3D printer, which is a big reason of why I want to get into it more (I hate molding and casting!)  3D modeling/printing and traditional sculpting are simply two different methods of achieving the same result.

Commission - Ponyta

Commission - The Brave Little Toaster

This was probably the most fun commission I have done in a while.  I loved this movie as a kid and it was a blast bringing all these characters to life.  I sculpted each piece separately so I could sand and paint each one before gluing it all together.  I don’t normally sculpt characters this small so it was quite a challenge for my eyes!

Materials : Super Sculpey, Sculpey Firm, Apoxie Sculpt, Wire and Foil Armature, Acrylic Paints, Wood base

Unfortunately I was laid off from my day job last Thursday, and now I’m looking for more 2D/illustrator work in the Bay Area. Above is a selection of the work I’ve done in the past 2.5 years for OMGpop and GREE International.

I am a senior-level 2D concept/game artist with 6-year background in the video game industry. In that time I’ve worked on DS, Wii and iOS games. Interested in pursuing a full-time, senior level/management position.

Here is a link to my resume: http://shellyrodriguez.com/resume.html

And another, to my full portfolio: http://shellyrodriguez.com/

If you like what you see, even if you know no one in the industry, reblog! You never know who might be out there, searching for an artist just like me. :)

Thanks so much, hope you enjoy what you see~

Forest Emperor keychains are now available, in a very limited quantity. 

These little guys were made as rewards for my Forest Emperor Project on Kickstarter.  Though the project has been on hold for the past year, I wanted to get these guys out to my generous backers.  While I was at it, I made some extras to put up on my Etsy store.  Get one now before they are gone.

This miniature version of the Forest Emperor was sculpted in Monster Clay, molded, and cast in a durable resin. Each one is hand painted with acrylic paints and coated in a matte varnish to protect against wear and chips. Even though this precaution has been taken, it is still recommended that you do not treat this keychain too rough.

Each Emperor measures 3 inches long (about 7.6 centimeters). It hangs from a 1 inch steel chain that is attached to a sturdy steel 1 inch clip. This is perfect for clipping to a bag, your review mirror, a lanyard, whatever you want! Two acrylic leaves dangle from a green charm strap, also attached to the clip.

Due to the hand painted nature of this item, slight variations will occur between the photos seen here and the actual product you receive. Leaf colors vary slightly from keychain to keychain.
