Hey guys! I've got exciting news! I've participated in a contest on Reddit to win a LulzBot Mini 3D printer, working with the printer company mascot (a 'rocktopus' - an octopus with a hand rocking out) to create an original piece of art. The winner will be decided with 'upvotes' on the contest's webpage. Could you please upvote my entry? It only is open until midnight of tonight, though with no time zone, just go ahead and do it even if it's after midnight.

My submission (With full resolution image!): http://www.reddit.com/r/3Dprinting/comments/2orjjk/lulzbot_mini_3d_printer_launch_contest/cn7y596

From the bowels of the ocean, under the roiling waves, the Rocktopus awakens to his archnemesis, the Tuurasucha... the World Serpent. With heavenly hammer in...tentacle...he readies his strike...

When smacking legendary reptiles in the face, what better way to do it than with heavy metal flair! This is the true nature of the Rocktopus!

Media: ZBrush 4r6, final touches in Photoshop CS6
Time: ~5.5 hours

Until this opportunity, I have been only able to see my work come to life through outside sources such as Shapeways. With this printer, I'd be able to help bolster my fledgling business as a freelance sculptor and fantasy artist without having to go through a middle man.

If my entry does well, I will make this model available for printing!
