Hello there, sorry it's been a while. I have continued to be very active on the design front and we have been working on making the storefront work and actually include some glorious goods. After completing the prototype Shroowoman, I worked on several projects, that I have included in a little photo gallery on the right.

Gallery

1+2) I created a replica cosplay Chainsaw lancer from the video game 'Gears of war'. I'm very pleased with the outcome, there is no painting just colour 3d printing and some adhesive backed vinyl to finish it off nicely.

3) This is the new and marginally toned down Shroowoman design. I took inspiration from the female Gremlin from the absolute classic of a move - Gremlins 2: The new batch.

4+5) Here we have the new snail riding shrooman design, the saddle/throne needs a bit of improvement but in general it's a pleasing design and the snail in particular has so much character.

6,7,8+9) These photos show the new Shrooman USB night lights and the very special rainbow puking Shrooman mini light. I intend to create more Shrooman variations over time, next being a Shrooman fidget toy.

10+11) The smallest Shrooman so far, the mini reward shrooman that can be created in large quantites and used for collectors, parties, rewards etc.

12) My niece modelling a T-shirt we designed and made together using the vinyl cutter. We included her own art in the design.

13) Experimenting with Shrooman key-rings, there were others too but they need further development as the designs was not especially production ready.

14) Finally we have another experiment, my first attempt at laser etching a design onto an aluminium card. Resolution on the laser cutter/etcher was mind blowing and I will be putting this to great use in the future.

Today I have updated the Shroomiverse page with far more lore on the Emu and Shrooman. I have added many more pictures also.

I have a huge list of projects I am working through currently, including the addition of many of my designs on the makerworld website. For those of you not familiar with the site - it is an incredible resource for downloading 3d printing models that are 100% ready to make. You can even download them on a mobile phone act and print directly from there. It makes 3d printing so accessible. It's pretty astounding what is available. It really shows how far 3d printing has come in the last few years.

Beware catnip stalker!

Another small update today but a critical one. I give to you, the deadly Dragon chicken!

This started as a side quest, that wouldn't take too long but unfortunately ended up being a week of 3d design practice!

Read more in the News archive.

What is a Dragon chicken?

This creature evolves from the vicious Werechicken.

Upon reaching maturity and killing precisely 100 enemies, the chicken turns into a giant egg. For 2 long years the chicken must survive as a massive egg with legs. If the chicken survives, the apex predator emerges. A creature so deadly that even seeing it can kill a man from fear.

The Dragon chicken is a large, daunting creature that has the ability to breath fire. Unfortunately this is not always the greatest power as the dragon chicken is still mainly a feathered fiend and this means that it is often the case that they set themselves on fire. Fire breathing is not the only ability a dragon chicken possesses however, they also have a large dragon tail and fairly small wings. The wings allow the rather large chicken to jump higher than the most, it is able to get between 1-2 feet off of the ground. The tail is large and heavy and often use to bludgeon enemies.

Small update to website today - progress is really slow as I am splitting the small amount of time available between improving the website and prototyping.

We have been working on creating a prototype Shrooman light design to add to the shop. This is now completed and I will add more on this soon but you can look at progress on our instagram page.
