I started with very small and quick clay models win combination with sketches. It was great fun and a nice practice to translate a sketch directly into a physical 3D object. 

WIP picture. The chosen theme was made on a bigger scale to refine the surfaces and really get the design into my hands before stepping towards the 1/5 scale.

To better understand the volume, I started to play around in Maya (my first time)

The start of my 1/5 scale clay model, building up the volumes

The first layer of clay, just covering the foam

Cross sections helped me a lot to build towards the correct volumes

Me doing stuff on the clay model wearing clogs (obligatory) :) 

Second try in Maya and 3D printed the result, some quick and dirty rims. Good practice though.

Almost finished!

Experimenting with light painting.

Little photoshoot in front of my faculty.
