Inventor Objects
Stuff that maybe I'll 3d print. This is the first of three possible objects directly below.
The Needle
The Seven Needles are from a game titled "MOTHER 3". As described below, the Needles hold the purpose of sealing a Dragon underneath the island that the game takes place on. In the game, your character, a boy named Lucas, and his group end up pulling all of the needles, thus causing the end of both the world and the game. I always thought the Needles looked very interesting, like a dragon head with wings, keeping with the theme. I thought it'd be an interesting challenge in this class! I also had to use the free form tool to make the head and wings, so therefore I did use techniques I learned this year to make it.

Franklin Badge
The Franklin Badge is yet another object from the MOTHER series, this time appearing in all three games. It only has a significant role in the third game, as it saves Lucas' (the main character) life while facing off with his twin brother, Claus. The badge reflects projectiles, although in the first game it only reflected a single, very specific projectile. Although I didn't make a pin on the back of the badge (3D printed material wouldn't make for a very good one), I am planning on getting a pin and simply attaching it to the back, assuming I will be printing this object.

Hylian Royal Family Crest
A symbol from the Legend of Zelda series, the Hylian Royal Family Crest is a symbol that appears in nearly every installment of the series, and serves as one of the most recognizable symbols of the series. And as such, I thought it would serve as an interesting (if not incredibly simple) project. This symbol also contains an image of the legendary Triforce (the three-piece triangle at the top), which by its lonesome represents the entire series, and in-game is an unstoppable force created by the gods to keep the mortals safe from the hands of the Demon King Ganon, who seeks its power for himself.

Mega Pendant
This object, a Mega Pendant from the Pokemon series, was made and used by a rather underappreciated character by the name of Wally from the Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire remakes. Wally is your main rival throughout the game; he repeatedly battles you throughout your journey, although mostly as a way of gauging his progress rather than any desire to actually fight you -- he's far too shy and kind for that. If you look closely, you can see a symbol in the centre of the jewel; although I was unable to make it show up more clearly, that is the symbol present in all mega stones, which are used to evolve a Pokemon past it's normal limits.
Mark of Grima
Yet another object from a game, the mark of Grima originated from Fire Emblem: Awakening, as a brand on one of the main characters as a symbol of his connection to Grima, the "Fell Dragon" who is destined to reduce the world to nothing more than smoldering ashes. I'm a big fan of this series, and I found this symbol to be very interesting. It wasn't particularly hard to make, but the software didn't like making it very much. Either way, it is done and it is here.
