Terminator Bonsai tree

Terminator as Life post AI

----------------------------------------------------------------

Sculpture with bonsai tree is my take on future of AI. Same as terminator movie we will see a future where AI will have a take on humanity but not in a way it was described in the movies. Also vision shows how humanity prevails.

About the design: 

Sculpture was done in blender with high inspiration on Terminator movie and motive from the first movie. Sculpting took long but it was worth it for the final design. When it comes to the “Bonsai” i took inspiration from savanah biom trees and pictures casted on the sun in down. My plan was to mix some living elements with the 3D print itself as the Bonsai trees are not just plastic - they are living trees after all, just grown in a fastion that imitates a tree minature. 

BOM: 

• Coloring: Model was painted with the warpaints speed paint 2.0 (Metal, Red, Brown, and Green). Tbh precise names of the paints used are not that important as speed paints differ the main colour just with the concetration, if you apply multiple layers and coatings of light colour it will end up dark. Black primer from Citadel, White gloss primer paint from Valleyo. Used airbrush to apply colours. 
• Living element: reindeer moss - It might be a supprise - its not a busch, ist a mushroom. 
• Ground: I borrowed some (fresh) cat litter sand :) does the stone peble road effect perfect for a minatures. Its loose not glued - i have no plans to move it a lot. 

Comment: 

Naturally you can use a natural sculpture as it is - but the green elements are impossible to pint that way. 

Also in terms of some overhangs and supports - i hate supports. Thats why i designed them in a way that those harder one will do an owesome job as a part of a model itself… so remove those that bother you and leave the rest in final product. they will look just perfect.
