Tiki statue of me for my siblings

Project I have been working on for the last few days.

A little gift for my siblings to remind them I am the oldest and that I love them. lol. They are going to hate it.

Took a selfie and created an AI depth map from it and then created a tiki statue from it.

Good for scaring small children and mice with it.

Finally got a chance to get into my shop. First day without a heat advisory in several weeks. Only 93F but humidity 40% instead of 90-100%. Unfortunately the moisture is coming back tomorrow.

Still needs a bit of sanding and figuring out how I am going to finish this.

Looks just like me. lol

And nice job adding the wood-grain effect!

You’re looking a bit stiff! Wooden you rather be on a Polynesian vacation?

Thanks. Height map projection onto the model. Great way to add different textures to 3d models.

lol. I was barking up the wrong tree and just realized last night that I carved the wrong model. That was my first draft. The second version has me holding a wine glass which is a closer representation of me.

For real this time.

Truly resembles me now.

Chop chop. No time to waste on mixing the cocktails.
