Illuminated Leviathan Deep Sea Adventure by Jason Duigou

Illuminated Leviathan Deep Sea Adventure

Jason's Inspiration: I found a wonderful 3D print on the Thingverse community site. Then my imagination kicked-in to take it to the next level incorporating 3D, mixed media, lighting, laser printing and modeling!

Description: After printing the 3D scuttle fish, I added extra elements to build a motor underneath, a copper exhaust tube, clear pebbles for the portal windows and lots of mixed media effects. In addition, I installed LED lights with colored velum in the portals to give the Leviathan more drama. 

Rust and patina effects were added on the metal exterior. An environment was created using a sheet of plywood with notches cut to support sheets of acrylic cut and engraved on our Glowforge.

Celestial Voyage: Rocketing Through the Cosmos

Image
  Inspiration: I was inspired by a 3D rocket that I printed on our 3D printer and some beautiful space-themed rice papers. I found a wooden oval box at a garage sale and added a stenciled pattern with gel medium, celestial laser-cut planets, moulds, stars, steampunk elements, and mechanical elements. I was very excited at how it turned out. I hope this inspires you to create something fun!

Magical Mystical Mermaid

Image
Inspiration: I found a mermaid wall hanging at a garage sale and an old project canvas that I put together to upscale them both into an undersea scene. I was very excited at how it turned out. I hope this inspires you to create something fun!  Description : I coated the canvas with wood pieces and painted it with shades of blue and purple. For the background, I used real large sea stars, large seashells, chipboard gears and resin shaped all layered to give it depth. I added Finnabair Firebird Art Alchemy Metallique Wax to the deep blue background to give it a vibrant look. T he metal mermaid was painted in lighter blue-green sea colors. I decorated the mermaid’s hair with beaded necklaces and mini pearls. I decorated the body with chipboard gears, small seashells, small resin shapes, pearls, and mechanicals. I added Finnabair Unicorn Effect Paste to give the mermaid an iridescent glittery look and finished the piece with splatter paint. The final piece measures 23.5” x 11” x 1.5”.

Steampunk Gears Christmas Tree

Image
Inspiration: A colleague of mine at work collects Christmas trees – specifically miniature cone-shaped trees. I decided to create a unique tree based on steampunk gears. I was very excited at how it turned out. I hope this inspires you to create something fun! Description : I created various gears in Adobe Illustrator and cut out chipboard and wood gears on our Glowforge Pro laser cutter. I adhered the chipboard gears of various sizes to the chipboard tree cone that I purchased at Michael’s. I then slid the wood steampunk gears down at various heights on the tree cone. The entire piece was sealed with heavy black gesso. I then brushed gold wax on and then silver over top to provide highlights. Miniature gears were added like ornaments. I used spray glitter on the entire tree and then wrapped it with tiny clear lights.
