Pirate Suzanne [3D Printing]



In this video, we will be doing another "Suzanne Print" where we take the Blender Mascot Suzanne and turn her into something else. 

So continuing our Pirate Theme (from last week), I wanted to turn Suzanne into a swash-buckling Pirate. 

If you want to follow along, you can download the Suzanne Base Mesh here (when it came to printing, I changed the Earrings to "studs" but the model has the hoops), or you can download the final model as an STL here





Turning Suzanne into a Pirate was pretty simple, and now my collection of "Alter" Suzanne's is growing and I think it turned out pretty well (though the paint job sucks)

After I printed the Model, then using a couple of different grades of sandpaper I refined the model. I then applied a few coats of Primer/Filler Spray paint and sanded it again. 

Then I used Acrylic's for the colors and then some gold leaf for the tooth and the Stud earrings. Again my painting skills are not the best and I'm sure you guys could get better results if you spend more time on it.  

I have a few more Ideas I want to do in the future but if you guys have any suggestions, be sure to let me know in the comments below. 

I hope you found this video helpful, if you did be sure to like and subscribe for more!

and as always, thanks for reading!
