Seehas

A commissioned 3D character sculpting project bringing the Seehas – a beloved Lake Constance legend – to life as a detailed sculpture, designed from concept to print-ready product.

Working closely with the client, I translated hand-drawn sketches into a fully realized 3D character. It features expressive anatomy, custom accessories like removable diving goggles and a snorkel, and carefully sculpted fur details. In addition, the design balanced visual fidelity with practical 3D printing requirements. As a result, the final prototype stands at 30 cm and exceeded the client’s expectations.

Scope of work:
– Concept interpretation and 3D blockout based on client sketches
– High-detail character sculpting (body, face, fur, paws with claws)
– Design of removable accessory parts (goggles, snorkel) ensuring a clean facial surface
– Iterative refinement through structured client feedback rounds
– Print-ready asset preparation and prototype output
