Update on the project that has had me underwater these last couple months. The collectible Saphira statue went live Monday and... well... it's doing okay 😅

FROM THE CAMPAIGN:
This collectible statue was modeled by Otavio Liborio with Christopher's direct supervision, including over 50 back-and-forth feedback iterations on everything from Saphira's head to her wings, scales, pose, and base.
She stands at around 12" (~30.5cm) tall from base to the top of her wing, and on a 5" (~12.7cm) base decorated with custom script in the human runes of the World of Eragon, all of which were hand drafted by Christopher himself!
Saphira will be made of grey injection-molded PVC, maximizing not only her durability but also topping out the amount of detail we can pack into the model!
PLEASE NOTE: Injection molding may result in slightly more or less detail than what we managed with the prototypes pictured throughout this campaign, which were 3D printed!
Saphira will come in 5 to 6 separate parts, all of which will be pre-magnetized to allow backers not only to snap her together in seconds, but also pull her apart to allow for convenient storage, easier painting for those who want to, and simpler movement from place to place!
Every Saphira statue will come with a Certificate of Authenticity signed by Bryce O'Connor, the project lead. If we crack our $250k Stretch Goal, the certificate will additionally be signed by Christopher himself!
Finally, backing this campaign means taking advantage of the Kickstarter-exclusive $20 discount off the $110 retail price ($50 off for the two-model Collector's Pack) that post-campaign models (if there are any) will cost!

What movie? Lol (Just like at Avatar: The Last Airbender)

unfortunately there's no way haha. this is a limited physical product. making her available for 3d printing would defeat the purpose.

I would say its decent. It's really more remembered because Paolini wrote the first one as a 16 year old iirc. I tried one of his later works, To Sleep In a Sea of Stars and found it prioritized clunky and overly-ornamented prose over the actual story

Will the model be available for 3d printing?

Grabbed one to support Wraithmarked and because it looks like a great sculpt for my painting hobby. Bryce should talk with Sorastro to get a video painting guide made - dude understands colors, light, and how to make a sculpt epic - and composes his own music. Guess I should give this E-Ragon an E-read.

It’s funny how gorgeous Saphira is in comparison to the unmentionable movie monstrosity.

I joined it i can't wait to get one. The coins look really cool too.
