T minus 2 days, and a Koala
July 9th - via: kickstarter.com
I've modeled a koala, but I haven't figured on a name yet. I'm thinking DInkum, but I'm open to suggestions. This kickstarter is taking a run to the end. And I feel like I'm running with it. So I hope a short update is okay while I run off to do test... (Read More)
SimplyColor3D is coloring Chibimals
July 6th - via: kickstarter.com
I was approached by SimplyColor3D about using their software to color our models. There's a conversation in there about the symbiotic relationship between hardware, software, and designers, but I digress. They've got a really cute piece of kit that... (Read More)
Chibimal #23 - Snake
July 5th - via: kickstarter.com
Did you know I used to do balloon animals? It's true. I would masterfully turn latex tubes into animals and popular characters. Occasionally some smart aleck would look at 260 balloon and say "Heh, how about a snake" thinking I would do something... (Read More)

Today's model a Guinea Pig. He's named Cheddar. This may be the first model I've made where my wife just kinda went "Yeah, that's good" and didn't have any input on. Of course part of it is probably because guinea pigs are already pretty much... (Read More)
Purcella, $4k, and one week left
July 1st - via: kickstarter.com
It's time to update your vote. This morning's livestream went great. Only one technical hurdle, and that was quickly corrected. I think I'm getting the hang of this, which means mondaymodeling livestreams could be a regular thing. It was a great way... (Read More)
Octopus on Thingiverse, bonus Chicken, and Color Preview

Rhino modeled, Monday Livestream
June 25th - via: kickstarter.com
Presenting Rhinaldo. Every Chibimal is a challenge. Rhinaldo was a lot of fun, but went through several iterations before I got him right. Not to offend any large Perissodactyla who may be reading this, but Rhinos have really big heads. And in a... (Read More)
Fox Complete, the Future of Chibimals
June 24th - via: kickstarter.com
Presenting Tallulah Fox. When I sketched up the fox, I made the tail up. But when checking reference material for foxes I noticed that foxes hardly ever have their tail up. However, making the tail down gave the fox a really long profile. After... (Read More)

A Horse, of course! And... is that something creative on the horizon?
June 20th - via: kickstarter.com
I'm not gonna lie, I was super worried about how a horse would work. But I allowed myself some creative liberties with the aesthetic, and the result was amazing. I honestly impressed myself. The next Chibimal I need to model is the fox, but that may... (Read More)

June 18th - via: kickstarter.com
To those of you who missed my live stream yesterday... it didn't go well. If it had worked, I was hoping it would have been funny. But at the end I was so stressed with a feed that wouldn't stay running that I ended up forgetting half the quips I was... (Read More)
