3D Printing and Painting Vegeta — Prince of All Saiyans

Every painted statue starts as a grey plastic print covered in support marks. This is the whole distance between those two things. Vegeta, the Prince of All Saiyans — printed, sanded, primed, painted, and finished by hand. In this video you'll see one of my team members walking through the full process, start to finish, with me narrating. We were aiming for the middle ground between realistic and anime: enough shading and texture to read as a real object, with the crest lines and colour separation that keep it recognisably Dragon Ball.
