With the end of the year coming, i was able to get a few days off work, and had originally planned to spend them reading Dostoevsky, working on my boxing skills and DIY projects. You see, spending 40h a week doing 3d, i really dislike spending my free time in front of a screen.
Instead, it hit me on the 20th that i still hadn't got any gifts for my family in France, more specifically for my younger brother. I looked on eBay for figurines but realized that 1) they were freaking expensive 2) they would never get there in time for Christmas.
So i thought "heh, i'm a 3d artist, my parents have a 3d printer that my dad knows how to use and my mom can paint". My brother being a huuuuge fan of the Danganronpa series, and thinking of Chiaki as his favorite waifu, that's how this figurine was born.
Took me about 30h, and though the printing wasn't as HQ as i'd have wished, my brother was very moved by this joint gift and i'm quite satisfied with the result since it was something new to me.
