nope this doesn't work, at least not at this scale. Leaving up mostly as a note to myself about how this actually goes, vs. how it keeps going in my head

hey it's not what you were going for but I still think it's neat?
Thanks; I think so long as I avoid actually tearing the sheet it's always possible to salvage this stuff into something at least kinda neat-looking by working it more
the wool texture under his chin is really great. Are you using that UV-unwrap to 3d print a buck of sorts?
After a fashion, the idea was to map out the cuts and positioning of everything needed to translate a 2d sheet back into a complex 3D shape, texture it as a flat and then sorta origami it together. The copper has enough give that if you can get the ballpark of the right shape it can be deformed the rest of the way
Problem comes from the cuts being complicated to make accurately, at least with a pair of shears, and if you get em wrong the form comes out all fucked up. There's lots of ways to do it with big fancy industrial equipment, gonna have to figure out something between the two extremes
