🧠 This model was initially inspired by an AI-generated concept, with base geometry processed through MakerWorld’s Image-to-3D tool.
🛠️ The resulting mesh was then imported into Nomad Sculpt, where I manually increased resolution, refined surface details, smoothed key areas, and adjusted the pose for better balance and printability.
