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 :-)

No way! I didn’t think you’d pull it off let alone this fast!

I love that he looks so damned crazy!

So you printed the bowl in clear resin or you printed the bowl with FDM and then poured resin into the bowl? I was thinking if I print this thin enough, I could fill the bowl with some kind of transparent resin and then cut the PLA away once it hardens.

I printed the bowl in clear resin. I wouldn't recommend filling anything with clear resin as over time it'll discolor and look like a dirty fish tank :/

This is pretty clever. I"d rather have the top and the bowl be one piece and the fish, stand, and water props be a separate one so you can paint them easier... But still, neat!
