Assignment 2

Game Piece

Ideas and Sketches:

I was inspired by the books/films Harry Potter. These stories are my favorite to read and watch. If I was ever to play monopoly I would always pick a piece that’s related to Harry Potter because it’s so near and dear to my heart. My sister who is nine years younger than me had pretty much nothing in common until she became old enough to become a fan of Harry Potter as well.

Progress:

Creating the wings became a huge challenge that I decided not pursue because of this being a game piece. Instead, I focused on creating the cool engraving. I did this with sketches in sculpt mode. I extruded those sketches and the used the body to cut the sphere. I then pulled out the new cut pieces to create all of the designs. I was a difficult process but it was worth it.

Final:

The final touch I added was the words that were found on the snitch in Harry Potter, ” I open at the close”. I wrote this in harry p font I found online. Then I extruded the letters. I am very happy with this piece!
