CONTEST:

Hey guys! 3D printing is my new project, and as I love the crowd here in Mene, I want to get you guys involved!

This contest is to design items for me to make in 3D for my shop. (http://www.shapeways.com/shops/silverbeam_magic) There can be multiple winners, and the contest has no deadline, it will be forever open! I make miniature or small items that are hollowed out to make them affordable as the cost is per volume. Fantasy, jewelry, miniatures, doll props, small cosplay items etc, are things I make. So get to sketching and editing to get some great ideas. Can't draw? post some images to reference your idea and give a good description. Here is a link to my mene art page to see what kind of items I have and like to make. http://www.menewsha.com/forum/art/ar...d-project.html

So what's in it for you? If the item is less the 5$ to get printed you will get a free copy of your item! If over, then you can buy it at base cost. Or you could win mene gold and items, even CI items!

POSTING PRIZES:

Along with random mene gold and items, there will be real objects mailed to you as some of the prizes! Be the SECOND poster on the below pages to win listed prizes.

10: 100 Mene gold,
20: 200 mene gold

Hi guys! hows life going? I am having a blast making stuff, I hope you will come and join me!

This sounds like an excellent contest idea. I hope I have some ideas for this contest. :D!

I hope so too! I'm also trying to think of little things I can make in miniature to bring to anime conventions and the like.

That's a good idea! :D I hadn't been to an anime convention in a long time though. :( I hope I can go to one again some day. ^_^;

Yeah it's been a few years since I went to one. Hmm we need more people in here chatting and stuff..... Otherwise the page prizes will never be reached. :(

Hm... Maybe I should add an entry when I have time. :) Or we should send our friends here to chat. :D!

This is quite the interesting contest. Not much of a designer, myself, but I'll give it a whirl all the same. ^.^

Excellent. how are things going for ya Seridano?

Well enough considering it's time for midterms. How are you, dear?

Ah midterms, I don't miss those!

Good. A bit busy with play performances and making models for my shapeways shop. I just made a racing broom from harry potter for someone.

Oh, that sounds spiffy. Is there a picture of it somewhere?

Not yet, here I can do a preview of the 3d model.

This sounds crazy!?

crazy? yes, awesome? Oh yeah!


Fun navie avatar Faux!

Eeeee, this is so cool!!! 8D Beamie, how did you get into this, it's awesome!

I want that Cardcaptor Sukura item. <3 Is it in miniature? Cause I dress up my American Girl Doll in several of her outfits. <3

Faux: Yes it is 1/4 scale, and can easily be adjusted for 1/3 scale dolls. I mainly make stuff for BJD right now.


Isn't it cool Gem? It's so much fun. Well I have a degree in 3D modeling so I had heard about this stuff, so I looked for a place online that does it and tried it out. Then I thought about using it to make dolls, since I am getting one so It snowballed from there.

Dis be so cool! I want a BJD out of this stuffs. Can't afford the real thing, they's expensive.

seriously, Although I got mine by bribing my mom by agreeing to help work on her book, especially since she is inept at the computer and she want to do lots of digital and photoshop stuff. That and Doll family is considerably cheaper than other.

You can be one of my beta testers. :D

Right now selling props, jewelry and miniatures has been real fun!

How your lil family doing Saiya?

I would love to Beta test! And heck, if I can manage it, I can even contribute to your shop by making BJD clothes! :)

And we are good, baby's 15lbs now! He's so big! And a lil' stinker! lol

LOL, they usually are..... How old is he now?

He's 6 mos in the world, 4mos biologically.

wow time sure seems to fly, does it seem like its been that long for you?
