Help an Artist get his tool back
Donation protected
Hi my name is Alejandro Mendez. I have been a visual artist for ever 20 years manly focused on digital modeling. I used to build plastic models but one day by luck I stubled upon the amazing world of Paper Modeling. To me is amazing to be able to take something as simple as a piece of paper and be able to turn it into so much more.
This skills even allow me to make my daughter happy on her birthday by using them to create a even larger paper model in the form of a Pinata for her party.... which you can see me doing here...Also I have been able to do more for here as you can see here....She needed some wings for a school festival so idecided to create my own.
The problem
My trusty but old six year old computer that I have been using for my designs has just died on me. Right now I feel like a painter without a brush. Fortunately i did back up all of my work so i really did not loose anything. Well nothing except the ability to continue the varios projects I was working on. I have some pretty good ideas for a couple of projects that i want to share with everyone as well as making some you tube tutorials for the people that have bben requesting them.
Here is where I need your help
It would be amazing if you could help me out to be able to get the tool I need to continue my projects. Because all of my models are made using a 3d, I need a powerful enough computer that we be able to cope with the load of designing and texturing large files. That is where the money is going to go to.
Making models out of paper has always been my passion and my hobby. I have nothing to offer you but my work. I already have 2 dinosaur models finished which i will be giving away to anyone who helps me. They make a great family activity. As well as a good conversation starter. Not everyone has a 3 foot long t rex paper sculpture on their house.
The models are really simple to make and they come on pdf format so you can print out as many pieces as you need in case you mess one up. Also the instructions are easy to follow. However if you have any questions just let me know. My goal is to design five dino models. Currenty I have 2.
Thank you very much for your time I hope you enjoy my work and can help me continue to make similar pieces in the future.
