No upvote until I see it open a bottle. Don't tease me like this!

I keep trying to run my fingernail across my screen

Hold up, gotta see this crack a cold one.

I’m always curious what material was used for the original piece. Assuming the final sculpture was cast in a mold.

It really looks great.

Because Art has a requirement that only works can appear, no other items are allowed to appear, so there is no way to share the picture of the bottle opener, if you are interested, you can enter my personal home page, I just shared a picture of him opening the bottle

Finally attracted by its beauty

The original work is a prototype wax film I carved, then melted the wax to get a cavity, then by casting to get a snake opener, and then after polishing and other steps to achieve the final product

I got you, here.

Yes, you are great!

Oh, I like it more now! Simple opener design and stylish when just sitting there.

Goddam dude, sculpting those scales must've taken an eternity. Very impressive work!

I thought this was an actual snake, really good scale detail

I wish I could own a bush viper in every color, but I’ll gladly settle for a gold one that opens a cold one.

Fatally attracted

How did you carve this out of wax so beautifully?

That’s great! And scary looking.

That’s just incredible. Well done. Absolutely beautiful.

From the bottom it looks like the alien from Nope

But you sculpted it digitally? It has all the hallmarks of 3D printing.

Why do people think this is an insult? It’s a question.

Jesus that's skill right there 👏 Exceptional work friend

idk much about the hallmarks of 3d printing, but I'm pleased with the end product.

I was iffy about how extraordinary the sculpt and texturing are, and then there's just a flat bottom with a hole on it to do the job...

Like, the sculpture is just a decoration sitting on the work surface instead of being incorporated into the opening mechanism...

But I don't mind at all if it was 3d printed from a digital sculpt.

But I get your point that op didn't mention anything about it in their process. I'm curious if you're right.

He didn’t, the positive for the mold was 3D printed.

This is pure Art… I’m attracted by its beauty

omg. I feel like he’s coiled and ready to bite. I would jump if I saw that on my kitchen counter.

Has anybody seen it sitting on a counter and jumped, think it’s real?

I was about to call bullshit, until I saw your name. I get your ads on Facebook all the time and all of your work is amazing!

Stop that.

The work on the scales is so impressive. Looks amazing OP!

Stop what? Answering questions truthfully?

You won’t see OP denying it or explaining how they actually did it.

This is so unique. What is the size? Seems so precious to be a bottle opener.

They explained they carved the wax... extremely common and easy way to do brass casting. Using plastic instead of wax wouldn't work as the brass won't vaporize it as effectively.

It's hilarious to see young kids flabbergasted by extremely common techniques.

Fuck yeahhhh that’s awesome!

Believe me, it’s also entertaining on my side.

Thanks for the “young kid” thing tho.

Also you can totally use 3D printing to make a positive for a die cast, it’s also an incredibly common technique.

I'll stick with what the artist says. You can even see the irregular wax texture when zoomed no striations from printing.

Saying it's 3d is a baseless claim that does not fit the artists typical style. The texture on the item makes it obvious it isn't 3d printed.

Using your everythings using new tech mentality, your comment was probably ai generated cause people tend to look into the artist before they claim to know the technique.

u/villeto must not be confident in their bs reply lol
