The Xanathar & Slygar printed & painted! (Patreon)
Content
During weekends I relax, unwind, and complete fun side projects. This weekend on the Discord patrons proposed I take on Slygar, the "immortal" gold fish of Xanathar. I initially thought it couldn't be done, but I was wrong. Oh so wrong lol.
To pull off Slygar I made the bowl, made it hollow, put in the dirt, plants, treasure chest and a goldfish model I found here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2119398 (creative commons attribution). Then I made a top that could be printed separably. I then printed the bowl in resin and the resin dripped straight down from the bowl top. I also made sure it could be printed in FDM. It can be printed as is with no supports. To get the glass look on the transparent resin I used multiple layers of gloss varnish.
Following this I printed and painted Xanathar, and here we are! Full files are in the Waterdeep: Dragon Heist folder. You can find them here too:

That's all for now. Have a good one folks :-)
