King Cuts Tarantino. This is a 4.5 inch / 11 cm edition of my sculpture of Quentin Tarantino as a shredded combination of his movies. It's a limited edition available until one-hundred (100) 3D-prints are made. 80% of the price covers the 3D-printed material itself, 20% I added for my labor on the 3D model.
What's the Story? Tarantino is ripped to shreds by his own gore. He has failed to
Kill Bill. He's torn himself apart with an
Inglorious Basterds bat. His
Reservior Dogs severed his ear, left dangling amidst his pile of entrails. Who knows how he's still standing. The weapons of a
Pulp Fiction seal his doom.
Working the 3D Model. After I carved the wood sculpture I made a 3D scan then re-sculpted & colored it with 3D-modelling software. I enlarged, deleted or altered certain parts. Some things need to be thick to be 3D-printed. Enlarging also raises the cost of the material. So I worked to lower the cost & meet the technical spec's. Including the 3D-scan, patching, re-sculpting & coloring, it took me about 29 hours to develop this for 3D printing here.
The Wood Carving. See pictures, videos and more about
my original Quentin Pulpkill wood carving here on my website. The original 18 inch sculpture took me weeks to carve from scratch in western red & yellow cedar wood, then paint in acrylic. It was part of my
"King Cuts" series of wood carvings depicting famous film directors mashed with their characters. I'm working on more 3D-print editions from this series.
