Skull Machine Case

August 2024 -> September 2024

After Skull Machines debut in NYC, I wanted to create a controller BTSM could use for pictures, since the one they had for their own helmets was limited by its LED count and couldn't light up all of the skull. I used this as an excuse to learn Arduino IDE, and eventually created a second one for my own BTSM helmet. I wrote code to cycle through a selection of different colors and a couple of animations. The final box has an Arduino Nano Every and 1 button.

Skull Machine, Lost Lands

July 2023 -> September 2024

I started this helmet a very long time ago, only for it to be shelved constantly for other projects. After completing Skull Machine, it only felt right to finally finish it for Lost Lands. The model was created in Blender using reference images and comparing it with a base model, and printed on my Ender 3 Neo Max in 3 pieces.

October 2024:

Combining my interests of making swords and Beat Saber, I imported some of my modeling work into the game. To do this, I recreated my original BTSM sword design in blender, as well as a new version more accurate to some of their visuals. I followed a tutorial and template for the Unity aspects of this project, and it was a great intro into that program.

Keychains: Various Artists

Continual:

Trading and giving away little gifts is a large part of rave culture. I like to create unique keychains based on various artists for this. I don't own a printer with an AMS system yet, so each design is created to be assembled after printing.

April 2024:

A good friend of mine played a debut set at Photo City Music Hall, to assist with the show experience I modeled and animated a few different visual loops that aligned with their interests/branding.
