The Capybara Fountain Diorama Project
This project idea was born in 2024 during my final year of school. However, between classes and my apprenticeship, I didn’t have enough free time to work on it. Once I started my job, I wanted to get back to personal projects to keep creating fun ideas during my free time, while exploring new techniques. Taking this break actually helped me rethink the project, giving it a fresh direction with new ideas.
The idea for this diorama originally came from a board of project ideas I have. One of them was to create a fountain but I wanted to add a little fun twist to it, and another idea was to create a capybara statue. I found it funny to merge these together and I started planning the project.
Before starting any project, I like to set up clear goals, and for this project, I wanted to:
- Sculpt and texture on a small-scale project;
- Create my own concept;
- Have fun.
