 I was thinking some object that looks like a tube and ended up investigating penguins... There's 6 kinds of penguins that lives in Arctic land and I thought this is perfect. Below are the sketches of 6 penguins.  1. Emperor Penguin It's the most biggest kinds of penguin and I think It can be a King 2. King Penguin It is second largest penguin and also looks similar with Emperor penguin. 3. Gentoo Penguin This will be my bishop 4. Chinstrap Penguin As my Knights 5. Adele Penguin This is my Rooks 6. Macaroni Penguin This is my Pawn. It might be ended up looking similar, especially with simpler shapes but I will try to use their features to not to look similar, especially the line from their head to neck, and the shape of the beak. Also the size changing would be another feature.

  I was inspired by these designs below and was trying to make something similar. I built bunch of stars with 16 sides and rotated even numbered layers. And then used loft feature. I tried different start point or direction or the settings (Loose / Tight..) when making a lofted shape. And the final shape I got is below. This is the mixture of the first and the second shape from those 5 shapes above, and I thought this is exactly what I wanted. However, I found a problem that it won't make shell or wouldn't boolean difference or union. I also adopted old design from old project, that has interesting shapes. ______________________________ Updated ______________________________ I asked my Instructor about the problem that I had, and got solutions and advice. 1. Won't BooleanUnion : Use Join 2. Trim the bottom to be flat, so that it will be printable. However, I still had the problem that I couldn't shell. So I was seeking for a solution. Firstly, after trim the bottom, I f
