Icon, logo

[maave0]

I need logos. Splatoon's thick lined style should show up on a 3d print nicely. Make a Cuttlefish girl character and several icons. I can't draw, get it commissioned.

this art style is used in the Splatoon 2 Splatfest pictures. There are more uses of this art somewhere in-game or in promotional art ... pls comment if you find examples

I went thru all Dude's emoji and he has 36 variations. The outline stays the same for most of them - features are layered on-top.

3D print outline

tracing Dude's outlines produces a nice printable shape

I think recessing the black lines is the best move (like recessing the letters). Certain corners won't be sharp but I think it'll fit the art style. The white area is raised so the corners have a minimum radius of ~0.4mm

Android

I like most of Android emoji, both new and old.

Android new round emoji, with reusable components like eyes, mouths, etc.

Android old blob emoji have less shading and simpler lines.

Some have squishy bodies that contribute to the emotion - cool but less re-usable.

Microsoft

Microsoft Fluent emoji have a permissive MIT license and some high-contrast art.

All the files are under "assets":

The use of components and high-contrast versions is nice (great for 3D printing). However I don't like how most of them look, the style is not my style

here's a searchable selector with the high-contrast:

SVG import() works (issue #13), and has good performance unlike PNG surface()
Inkscape PNG-to-SVG is easy enough.

bonus: angled ponytail doesn't interfere with the fingerprint cutout

Certain SVGs do not work. Sometimes the extruded object has intersection issues. Changing the SVG it may help. I had to use a higher resolution version.

Ticket describing the issue:
"ERROR: The given mesh is not closed! Unable to convert to CGAL_Nef_Polyhedron."
openscad/openscad#4039

A new PNG import feature is coming soon which might bypass this issue:
openscad/openscad#1110

I found this with "sia_simpler.svg" which I lowered in details as much as I could in Inkscape. Another version of the file with more nodes works fine
