Anime Aquarium Figurine Designs

I’m commissioning three original, stylised anime-inspired figurines that I can safely display inside a freshwater aquarium. Each figure should stand somewhere in the 6–10 inch range once printed, and every detail—faces, hair, fabric folds, props—needs to hold up under close inspection.

Scope
• Create three characters in a cohesive set. I’ll confirm the precise sub-style (think shōnen, shōjo, seinen, etc.) once we start.
• Sculpt with 3D-printing constraints in mind: overhangs, wall thickness, drainage holes for resin, and clear separation of any interlocking parts.
• Optimise specifically for resin or PLA so the finished pieces remain aquarium-safe after proper curing and sealing.
• Supply clean, watertight STL/OBJ files plus a simple exploded view or assembly guide to make printing and post-processing straightforward.

Quality expectations
The models should arrive essentially “slice-ready”: no non-manifold edges, correctly oriented, and pre-supported or support-friendly. Surfaces must be smooth enough that primer and paint need minimal sanding.

What I’ll provide
Reference sketches, size call-outs, and notes on poses, colour palettes, and any environment bases (rocks, plants, treasure chests) I’d like incorporated.

Timeline & feedback
We’ll work in milestones—rough block-out, refined sculpt, final polish—so I can give notes at each stage. Minor revisions are expected until all three pieces are print-ready.

If you have a portfolio showing stylised or anime character sculpts, especially ones already printed, I’d love to see it. Let’s craft something that looks fantastic on screen and even better under water.
