Squid Attack!

Here is a model from our archives. Developed By Bin Li, this epic model prints beautifully at Z18 scale.

We asked Bin Li a few questions about his background and process.

Can you describe your journey as a designer - how did you get started and what motivated you?

The journey started late. In fact I didn't start art training until college, where I was studying computer science around 2005. But then weird enough, a close encounter with drawing and painting opened up a whole new world to me. I decided to be an artist to create and to fulfill my vision. 3D Animation and Games was the fuel of my passion, that's why I went to Ringling College of Art and Design to study Computer animation. Since that, I worked as a 3d modeling and designing artist.


What was the creative process like for this model?

It started as eagerness to create something with power and impact. I pitched an idea of a prehistory creature and a journey on a ship, using a classic book in the public domain
