Hourglass

.


The makeup company Hourglass tasked us with creating physical displays to promote their new line of  refillable eyeshadow

.


We created this concept art, where each scale of the snake was one of their replaceable eyeshadow cartridges

.

I was responsible for taking the concept art and creating a functional model that could be manufactured and assembled. The first step was to create a frame that the "scales" could be press fitted into.

.


I then designed these rings that could be stacked on top of one another to create the body of the snake

.


Finally, I created models for the head and tail. 

All these parts would be 3D printed, painted, and assembled. Then, the eyeshadow cartridges would be press fit into every frame.

Below are renderings of the assembly before the makeup is added.
