I’m not usually one to share my art but I’ve been really wanting to branch out and share it with others because I’m about to make a big step forward in life. This is my latest piece. I designed all the models in Blender and made all the tool-pathing for my CNC machine in this wonderful program called VCarve Pro. Also, shout out to Krita for being the best magic bullet to get ideas from my brain to a format that I can start editing. Basically takes 1 500 x 500 MDF for the 14mm thick base x x2 500 x 500 sheets of Lauan plywood for the reflectors, boarder and the words which lovingly and accurately describes what JWST truly is deep down, a straight-up science gangster. The black lettering and hexagon lines I did by cutting text pockets in the wood then filling them with an epoxy + enamel paint mix. And after a good sanding and oil coating, this is where I’m at. Still trying to develop a way of mounting the piece to the wall as well as a better way of getting the text on the JWST model itself.

Also, you can’t really see it from this angle, all the reflectors are facing inward towards a single point. Eventually I’ll make the OTE (The black thing in the middle where nothing sits as of now)

I’m still working out the kinks but I plan on making the next one even better… which is currently being made right next to me.
