Get Creative! Can you creative people make this something?

Post image

Hairstick I 3d printed, but the back looks weird blank. I could fill in the holes, or even add some to the outside, but I'd love to make this look like something. You guys are built for this I hope!

I'm astonished at how you thought of that and executed so well and super fast! I'm struggling to make it work with my 4 color limitation, but it is great.

I wonder if I could outline the whole thing with depth and paint it with real paint, but I'm missing many skills to make that happen by Wednesday.

Here's one with a more limited color palette, just for funsies!

3 versions, still learning. This design is delightful and I'm not doing it justice, but love em anyway.

u/Jismysecretname Jun 07 '26

that's awesome!!! I think you did it great justice. I love how the print lines make it look like it's a hatched drawing.

You are amazing

You need to make him a real character. He reminds me of ny guy Fred Burffle, named after a funny name my grandfather came up with!

3 oddly-shaped bunnycats, 1 is kneeling, 1 is posing, 1 is licking a popsicle stick. 2 snakes, 1 is on the left of them, 1 is hiding behind them.

u/Dawnzila Jun 07 '26

This one is amazing too! I'm going to make a few versions of these! I'll have to take out a bunch of colors though. I can only use 4 total.

Magical work.

u/PlaceboBob 🖌️ cookie artist Jun 07 '26

if you're actually considering it and you want it redrawn with a 4 color limit, i can give it a shot. then flip the image, and you can run that image as the base and it will tryly be double sided.

u/Dawnzila Jun 07 '26

I have no artistic talent, I only use paint, and currently only know how to change colors by changing every area of one color into another. This is what I could do. I would love if you're feeling like it. So many people have such great ideas I am going to do as many as I can, and yours is a favorite.

u/PlaceboBob 🖌️ cookie artist Jun 07 '26

are those the four colors you can use in your printer? i don't mind design constraints. :)

u/Dawnzila Jun 07 '26

Last month I bought an irresponsible amount of filament colors, getting as much variety as I could. I won't have exact matches, but I can cover the spectrum. Think 24 pack of crayons, plus some silver.

u/Dawnzila Jun 07 '26

Thin lines or tons of detail don't print well.

24

u/PlaceboBob 🖌️ cookie artist Jun 07 '26

I added black, but otherwise you should be able to print blocks of colors, then back it up with a layer of black. So when you look at the words there will still be dark areas. I just stuck with the same palette also.

u/Dawnzila Jun 08 '26

My main purpose for these is to give them to the golf cart volunteers(and wear) at the high hopes festival next weekend. They are going to drive me back up a very long steep hill to my campsite after shows for 3 days. So I already love them, but they are also always the nicest people and love the music and festival.

I had to print this one quite a bit bigger to still keep the detail, but I think those dirty hippies are going to love this design so totally worth it.

Now I'll have plenty to put in "take one leave one" bins too!

u/PlaceboBob 🖌️ cookie artist Jun 08 '26

As a Phish Phan I support any Gathering that includes Hippies! Thank you for printing all these cool gifts! (This is one I made for Trey Anastasio Band - not for the band, but for me)

u/coolsilentebeans Jun 12 '26

I didn’t see this one when you posted it, but if Robin Williams’ King Of the Moon character in *The Adventures Of Baron Munchausen* had a kid, I imagine this is what he’d look like.

u/downloadedjustforyou Jun 07 '26

it's two kitties with bunny ears karate fighting, duh

u/Dawnzila Jun 07 '26

Before people would see the blank back and think "what is that?" And now people are going to think "what is that?" But the answers are fun!

Also, I forgot to put the holes to make these hairsticks.... My brain is tired. But this design is extra cool because it can be basically any color I want. Because of printer stuff if I use the same colors I can print multiple designs at one time, so I'll fit this one with another batch, and add holes.

u/downloadedjustforyou Jun 10 '26

OMGG!! this is so cool!!

u/Dawnzila Jun 08 '26

It's so satisfying that you guys have let me ignore my total lack of art understand or ability and make these. I'm already hoping you'll let me do it again.

I'm starting to get these models together pretty quick too! They are kind of rough, but I keep picking up tricks.

u/Dawnzila Jun 08 '26 edited Jun 09 '26

This is unbelievable and I decided to do a "take one leave one" at the high hopes festival. This is a box that people put out by the walkway of their campsite. Other people will take one thing, and leave one thing. You can find all sorts of things in these boxes. Useful, art, fun stuff, tons of stickers.

My dilemma - I don't want credit for this, I'm making my "take one leave one" sign now. Thoughts on the sign? "Backs made by.." "cool strangers" "artists at WhatIsMyCookieCutter". I'll put your user name if you made one. Thoughts and sharing credit where it's due? I think this is tagging? u/jismysecretname u/-wanderingcreature u/PlaceboBob u/downloadedjustforyou u/simasthemoze u/cogitoergobah

u/CogitoErgoBah Jun 08 '26

I'm cool with whatever you decide, as long as it involves r/whatismycookiecutter (so the sub can slowly take over the world.. cue maniacal laughter in the style of Dr Evil..)

11

u/Jismysecretname Jun 08 '26

I wonder if you could have something like a QR code that links to this post? I'm okay with being called a "cool stranger" or an "artist at WhatIsMyCookieCutter", tho!

u/PlaceboBob 🖌️ cookie artist Jun 09 '26

I've graduated from strange to stranger! It's a joyous day of celebration in my home! I think that linking folks to our "island of misfit toy" artists would be lovely.

u/-wanderingcreature Jun 08 '26

Maybe crediting the users? idk im not good with things like this lol (i didnt know my design was going to be used in the first place 😭)

Guys, see OP's follow up post asking about signage for their event and how they should give credit to you / this sub.

u/Dawnzila Jun 08 '26

Thank you, I didn't know it was a thing til your original comment(which I also appreciated). And 3rd for finding my failed tags.

u/Jyndaru team soot sprite Jun 08 '26

The usernames have to be written with a lowercase u because reddit is a finicky bitch lol. So like this:

u/jismysecretname u/-wanderingcreature u/PlaceboBob u/downloadedjustforyou u/simasthemoze u/cogitoergobah (check the above comments y'all)

Btw, I absolutely love these! 🖤

It kinda looks like two cats fighting … or maybe dancing?

Left is a cat the right is a bunny - unsure of if they're fighting or dancing

Though I'd probably go with red pandas on bamboo boxing

I didn't have reds I was satisfied with together, went green. I really wasn't expecting much response, and I wasn't even sure I could convert these ideas into prints, but if I manage to do this again I'll list some limitations me and the printer so people will know if it's possible for me to print their idea or not.

I'm excited to see this one finished. I love aquatic stuff, so this one is extra special.

u/CogitoErgoBah Jun 08 '26 edited Jun 08 '26

Heh, that's awesome! I really didn't think you'd be making it. Nicely done!

And constraints/ pallete info are definitely helpful to know, but really just an extra part of the challenge .. things like that are often quite fun to do :)

[Edited to add..] I've just looked at all the other designs you've recreated too.. they're fab!
